Spring break San Diego

For spring break my parents came to visit and we went to San Diego for a few days. So Fun! We stayed in Oceanside. The kids liked the arcade.

We went to Sea World. I really wanted to go this year before they nix the Shamu show next year, so my parents gave us tickets for Christmas. Plus, we got Zach and Emmy's tickets for free!

The kids were total stinkers at Sea World.

But they loved the beach. We went for a long walk one morning. Here they are examining tracks and then drawing them.

We found a playground on the beach. Emmy is getting to be quite the monkey bar champ.

We climbed out onto these rocks that stuck out in the ocean. Emmy was convinced there was treasure hidden somewhere in the rocks.

We hit the pool at the hotel. This girl could live in the pool.

We had a campfire on the beach.

Zach was content to eat sandy graham crackers.

We went back to Sea World for a second day and the kids were much better. They liked petting the sting rays and feeding the sea lions. Their favorite were the "cleaner fish" where you stuck your hand in the tank and the fish would come eat the dead skin off your hands.

But they especially loved the awesome playground at Sea World. They went on this jumping thing for a really long time.

We went to Old Town and visited the Mormon Battalion visitors center and also got some yummy Mexican food.

It was a great little trip!

The Three Piggy Opera

Emily's class performed the Three Piggy Opera. It was darling.

These are Emmy's best friends in her class.
