Family Vacation to San Diego

We decided to go to San Diego this year for our summer vacation. It was lots of fun, even if it takes 10 hours to get there. I love San Diego and wish we could go all the time, but it's too far away. We stayed in Vegas on the way there and the way back home. We went to the Hard Rock to eat dinner, and the kids were very excited about the life size Kiss people. This is there rock star pose.
We also walked through the Bellagio, got to love those fountains.


The first thing we did when we got to San Diego was go to the beach. I think the kids would have liked to do that every day. It was really fun! How awesome would it be to live right by the beach. This was Lilly's first time there. She loved it! We all did.

Family Vacation to San Diego

We went to Lego land for the first time. Noah loves Lego's, so I thought he'd love it. It was a pretty fun. They had a lot of cool things made out of Lego's and the landscaping was beautiful.
Grandpa took Noah on this ride, cuz no one else wanted to get wet. It was pretty funny to watch them get blasted from the water cannon that Devin kept shooting them with, even though Grandpa had no idea that was why he was getting so wet, until after he got off the ride.

This was a miniature city of Vegas made out of Lego's, pretty cool.

We went down to the board walk and the kids thought they could catch crabs off the rocks, but that didn't happen. The balloon man was fun, he made kenna a cute bear and then asked Noah what he wanted, but he couldn't decide. The balloon man offered many choices, but none sounded good to Noah. He finally told the balloon man that he would like a scorpion, totally random I have no idea where he came up with that one. Even though he had never made one before it turned out pretty good.

We also went to Sea World. It was lots of fun. Mckenna loved it and really wished she could swim with the dolphins, but it was too expensive. The shows were way fun, especially the dolphin show. The kids made sure that they were right up front for Shamu, and got soaked, but they loved it.

We went to the San Diego Zoo. This was the last day on our trip and the kids were pretty tired of walking. We had to rent a stroller to push Noah around in all day, he's a lazy little guy.

The petting zoo was fun for the kids. Mckenna loved the little ponies.

Devin and Mckenna are pretty scary monkeys!

We took this picture in the rain forest part of the zoo. I thought it was very pretty.

We had to wait in line to see the panda's, but it was worth it. This cute little guy was sleeping and right when we walked past he woke up and posed for a picture and then laid back down to go to sleep. It was so cool, they are so stinkin cute.

The kids got to have one last swim at the pool in Vegas on the way home. Noah's favorite part of the whole vacation was swimming in the pools. He had a lot of fun jumping off of Grandpa's shoulders.
