I love the ocean

I really love the smell of salt in the air and the soothing sound of the waves. It feels like I am going home (having grown up by the beach. landon did not know what to think of the sound. Initially he tried to eat it, then realized that was not a good idea. He loves the water though (no matter how cold). Pax got to take Cole boogy boarding, and one day there was a whole pod of dolphins heading up and down the water, right where they were boarding. SO COOL. Mac and Tootie spent most of their time digging in the sand. It was a great vacation. As always, I loved Sea World, and the boys had a great time at Legoland. Their greatest event was riding Atlantis, and getting a lego set at the store (which I could have done in Salt Lake.) All in all, a good vacation, except for the drive that I had to make both ways without Pax. Next time I am flying....

San Diego, Cali

We finally got a much needed vacation to California. Unfortunately, I got to drive down with the boys while Pax flew (something about a golf tournament). After a day in St George, we drove to Cali with Ash. It was a horrendous drive with little Lando crying and the drive taking forever. After finally arriving there, we couldn't get in the house because the code was wrong - not starting this vacation on a good foot. We got everything sorted out, and were able to have a lot of fun. The ocean was beautiful with the boys body surfing with dolphins on Mission Beach. Boys loved Lego land and Landon was just great. The beach was thoroughly relaxing, with gorgeous tempretures. Pax loved boogy boarding. Colton suggested we moved to San Diego after the week was up...
