San Diego Part 2

To start off Part 2 of our San Diego trip we headed back for another fun day at Sea World!
The gang in front of the giant octopus!
Posing with the penguin
grandma and the kidlets ready to go!
We decided to feed the dolphins first thing and had a good time petting them and sharing fishies with them!
the boys watched them for a little while after too!
next it was off to the shark encounter to come face to face with lots of teeth!
Oh my goodness look at all those baby sharks
Look what happens when you leave Tiff in charge, she feeds the kids to the sharks!
After shark encounter we headed over to the pet stadium to see all sorts of cool animal tricks!
after the show they brought out some of the fun pets for the kids to meet and touch! The met a kangaroo and a boar!
We went back to pet the stingrays some more because they were so fun the first time around
Then we were off for a 3-D pirate adventure!
Next we went to visit with our friend "Shampu"! He's huge!
Taylor even gave him a big fat kiss!
Then while the boys climbed and played on Sesame Street Bay of Play, Hayleigh and I rode Elmo's Flying fish four times!
Legoland was the next adventure on our weekly planner, and the boys were VERY excited!

This was one of Taylor's favorite rides, you had to peddle it yourself!

The boys wanted so badly to get their Lego Drivers licenses, so why they did Hayleigh and Tiffy gave the helicopters a few spins!
Here are the boys cruising in their Volvo's after they earned their licenses!

Saying goodbye and thank you to Legoland for a fun filled couple of days!
After dropping grandma off at the airport we headed back to the condo to start packing our things so we could head home in the morning... but the sun was a shining so we headed down to enjoy the beach one last time!
The sunset was amazing
The tide was way out so the kids had a blast running in the hundreds of feet of shallow water!
and of course playing in the big wholes in the sand!
It was a great last night at the condo!
In the morning we decided to head over to Sea World and let the kids run around on the Bay of Play to get some energy out before we hit the road! But it RAINED on our parade! and I mean poured! So the bay of play was closed! Hayleigh did get to meet some sesame street friends though!
But we needed to find shelter from the rain so we went into one of Sea Worlds restaurants and had lunch and much needed hot chocolate, it was the best part of our last morning at the park!
except for Hayleigh who's highlight was meeting a real live mermaid! We all know this girl is a big fan of the mermaids! And this mermaid happened to be out right as we were heading out! Hayleigh loved her and thought she was beautiful!
The drive home seemed never ending, we stopped in Baker for some dinner
and then did some hokey pokey to get out some wiggles before heading the rest of the way home!
The kids were troopers and did great for the rest of the way home! It was such a fun week away! We enjoyed San Diego so much. We were truly grateful that we decided on a condo so that we had plenty of room to play and spread out at rainy times. We had a lot of fun and made tons of good memories! San Diego, WOO WOO!
