Trip to Cali

So me and the kids went to California this past weekend to go to my sister's baby's blessing. So my parents rented this big van and we all drove up together. It was me, my kids, my parents, my aunt and uncle, my sister and her two kids. It was fun and long! It took us 8 hours to get there and back. But it was good cause we spent lots of time with the family. So we left Friday morning and got there that night and went straight to the beach to play and have a barbecue. It was so much fun and it was the first time the kids had seen the ocean. They were scared of the waves coming in but had a blast playing in the sand. Then the next day we all went to Sea World together. That was so much fun!! My kids loved it and were so excited to see all the whales, dolphins and stuff. We were there half the day, then went home for a nap. Then later on that night went back to go see the Shamu show at night and went on some rides and saw some more animals. It was good to have the whole family together and just got to spend some time with eachother. Then the next day we went to the blessing and headed home right after. We had a lot of fun. So thanks Christine to planning such fun stuff for us to do and to my family for all coming. It was sad that Scott couldn't come, cause he had to stay home for work. So we missed him, but its just another reason to go again! So here a bunch of pictures from our trip.
