Vaca 2012

We had a fantastic California vacation last week. We went to San Diego with Bobby and Emily, Emily's parents, and Mike and Meagan, and all the kids. We got there on Monday afternoon and headed straight for the beach while we waited for our room to get ready. On Tuesday we went to the San Diego Zoo. Spent the whole day. It was lots of fun but it was a lot of walking. On Wednesday we went to the wild animal park. I had never been and it was a lot of fun. I thought it would be just like the zoo but it wasn't. The animals weren't in cages and it was cool to see them in their more natural habitat. We took a tram ride around the park and got to see lots of really cool animals. My favorites were the giraffes, which were pretty close to the road. We got to see lots of elephants and went to a really cool bird show. The only bad part was the heat and the walking. That park was bigger than the zoo. On Thursday we got to sleep in and then we had a beach day. Kyler played in the sand and Jake and his brother's played on the biggie boards. They got scratched up by them up pretty bad but they said it was worth it. We had a beach barbeque for lunch and then we went back to the hotel for nap time while everyone else played at the pool. That night we went to a couple of the night shows at Sea World, including the fireworks show, which was a lot of fun. Friday was our favoriteday, Sea World Day!! It's Jake's favorite park. The shows were great and it was a lot of fun to see all the animals, touch the starfish, and feed the sting rays. We went on rides and ate some really yummy food. When Saturday came and we were so sad to go. We drove to Vegas and stayed in a cheap hotel. Had a bad night's sleep because of the spot light shining right on our room, noisy ac and the fear of Kyler rolling off the bed. The next morning we made our way to St. George in order to pick up a few things from our house. We are planning on selling it soon so we wanted the fridge, water heater, BBQ, and fan we bought for the place. Hopefully we'll get a couple bucks from them. Anyway, we pulled up to the house to find the lock changed. It has been empty so long they considered it abandoned. Of course it was Sunday so the company wouldn't come unlock the door. So Jake and Mike put their heads together and broke in to the sliding door, of our own house. We eventually got in and got our stuff. The place was gross. Our previous renters were disgusting. Just like all of our past renters. Ugh. I hate that house. So we got our stuff and headed back home. Finally, home sweet home. Overall a pretty fun vacation!! -Turns out I can't add pictures from my phone so I'll have to do that later. Check back soon!
