Ava vs. Corbin

good ol' Texas friends

This is Kent and Becky. I have know them for years and years. They were some of the first members of my childhood church in Arlington, Tx. They have been dear friends for years well actually my whole life. Time has passed I think the last time I saw them was at Amy's wedding almost 9 years ago?? They couldn't believe I'm a mommy!

We had such a wonderful visit.

Sea World at night

We were in our hotel room for about 2 hours, and then we were off to an unexpected night trip to Sea World with some friends!! We got to see the Sea Lion show and the Shamu Rocks show that happen at night. The kids loved it!! oh yea and some nice fireworks too...

Day 2 at Sea World with Uncle Paul and Tia

I guess we were having to much fun because I didn't take many pictures of Sea World. We did however see great shows. Ava, Uncle Paul and Daddy got SOAKED in the wet zone at the amazing dolphin show. Then Stephen and I sat with her in the soak zone for the Shamu show. I think our favorite part was seeing the GIANT walrus press up against the glass right in front of us. Feeding the stingrays was really fun too. All in all we had a great time!!

beach fun

San Diego Wild Animal Park

Grandma and Grandpa joined us for the 2nd half of our trip. We went to the wild animal park. It was beautiful park, lots of walking but really it was nice weather. In the evening we took a train ride and it was kinda cool because the animals were pretty active.
