California~Part 1

Finally, our California trip so get ready for LOTS of pictures!!!
In fact there are so many I will have to break this post up into a few :)
So, for Alexee's spring break we packed up the kids & headed out to California for a fun family vacation!!
My kids love Shamu & were begging us to go see him again, we went for Alexee's 3rd Birthday so a family vacation was long overdue.
We arrived Thursday night & they wouldn't go to bed till they saw the ocean. So we took a walk to the beach, but they hated it because it was DARK & SCARY. So off to bed we went so we could wake up early & head off to meet their friend, the famous Shamu.............
They loved loved loved the show, even Carter was squealing with excitement.
We meet the beautiful Budweiser Clydesdale horses......

Alexee & her Daddy rode Atlantis, Braiden was most upset because he was not tall enough....


We had to go meet the beluga's & polar bears, Mommy's favorite....

Yes, that is Carter Bug in the black :)
The exhibit is quite cold, the kids loved the ice walls...

We bought some food & headed over to feed the Manta Ray's which the kids loved!!!

They were ready to attack for some food, of course we got soaked because they were fighting for the food.

We couldn't leave without checking out the pet show......

They found a grassy hill that quickly turned into a ride, because they rolled down it 10+ times.



Then we just hung out & let them run around & play.....




We headed off to dinner at our hotel, The Carlsbad Inn. While we waited for our food I chased the munchkins around, with my camera of course.......

Would somebody teach that little baby in black to LOOK AT THE CAMERA!! This was almost a perfect picture, stinker.


After we grubbed we took a little walk, found some ice cream & then headed off to bed for anther busy day!!
