Reptile Show!

This past week Kaylan had a family spring picnic and reptile show at preschool. She was lucky enough to have her Mom and Dad both Grandmas, Aunt Becky, Taryn and Brody attended. It was a beautiful day to be outside having a picnic. Later we went inside to enjoy all the neat reptiles Mr. Rich Ihle had brought. Kaylan was reluctant but willing to touch some of these scary reptiles which was surprising to me. Pictured below is all the reptiles Kaylan was able to touch. Kaymae and Tater

This was Kaylan's face during most of the show!


This was one really huge snake!

Deep Sea Fishing!

Our last day in San Diego Ethan and I got up early to go Deep Sea Fishing. Grandma stayed at the hotel to watch Kaylan. (Thanks Grandma) We got to the boat and decided to put in the Jackpot. When you put in the Jackpot you place a couple dollars in a competition to see who will bring in the biggest fish. Amazing as it sounds I won the Jackpot ($50 dollars). I caught a quite large Salmon Gruper and this is no fish story!

A guy on our boat got quite the surprise when he was reeling in a fish and instead of a fish on the end of his line there was a huge eel!

Sea World!

Our favorite activity was by far Sea World! This is Kaylan posing with Seymour the Sea Lion! Feeding Seymour some really stinky fish!





Ethan won Kaylan a Shamu stuffed animal. As you can tell from the picture she didn't like it at all.




The Shamu Show unfortunately wasn't as good as it used to be. The trainers no longer get in the water with the Killer Whales. Probably because their names have become really quite literal.




This duck was so friendly it ate right out of Kaylan's hand.




Kaylan meeting Elmo and Cookie Monster!



Kaylan's favorite ride Flying Elmo.




The penguins which Kaylan thought were "so fat".




This is our crew after Sea World. We were a lively bunch!

San Diego Beach!

We took a trip to the beach so Kaylan could play in the sand and find some sea shells. We didn't stay very long because it was quite chilly and I am a real wimp when it comes to the cold.

More Pictures of Kaylan!

Our hotel was right off the bay so I thought I would take more pictures of Kaylan. What can I say I can't resist she is just so dang cute!





How to Train a Dragon!

We decided to take a day just to hang out and relax while in San Diego. So we caught a movie.


Flower Gardens in Carlsbad California!

When we went to Legoland there were these beautiful flower gardens right around the corner. It was literally acres upon acres of flowers. So I figured that we wouldn't find a better spot than this to take some pictures.

Legoland Sea Life Aquarium!

We went to San Diego this last week for a family vacation. While we were there we really tried to pack in as many activities as we could. Our first stop was at Legoland's Sea Life Aquarium. It was a fun to see all different kinds of fish and learn about them. Kaylan is at the perfect age to learn about all the animals that live in the ocean. Her favorite fish were the ones that looked like Nemo and Dori. By the way Legoland is opening an aquarium at the Arizona Mills Mall in May so if you would like a fun family activity to go and do I would highly recommend it.

Knotts Berry Farm!

A few weeks ago we went to Knotts Berry Farm with Grandma and Grandpa Young and family. We had a blast playing with Kaylan in Camp Snoopy as well as seeing all of their fun shows. When are trip was all over and we were driving home Kaylan was so sad to be leaving that she said " I want to stay at Knotts Berry Farm forever". I could sympathize with her becaus it is always sad to leave when you are on vacation. Luckily for her we already had a another trip to California planned before we ever went on this one, so she will get to go to San Diego in a few days.
