Christmas

We spent Christmas in Utah. The drive to Utah was nice We spent a few days at B's brother's house and then a few at his sister's house. A had fun sledding with her dad and cousins. We also a couple of nice days of skiing.

The Beach

After going to Sea World and Legoland, my brother and his family came to visit us at our place for a few days. We spent a day at the beach. The water was too cold to swim in, but the kids had fun playing in the sand. We also saw a school of dolphins swim by. That was a nice surprise.


We had a little picnic luch while we were there. We took our camp stove, but forgot matches, so we had to be creative and use our cigarette lighter from the car to light the stove.

Legoland and Sea World

I am a bit behind since the holidays, but I'll try to write about some of the things we've done.
A few weeks before Christmas my brother and his family came to California to visit, so we met them in San Diego. We spent a day at Sea World and the next day at Legoland. We had a lot of fun and A especially enjoyed playing with her cousins. This was our first time visiting Legoland. We usually go to Disneyland, so it was fun to try out a new park.




If you sit down in front of the flamingos, they come over and preen you.








Legoland has some very elaborate things made out of legos.

Legoland had a pirate boat ride where you can shoot water at other boats and people on the sides watching can also shoot you with water. I got pretty wet on that ride. :)

Cute Endings

Here are a couple more songs of A singing. The first one is "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam" At the end she adds the word OK into the song. Ok I'll be a sunbeam for him. The second song is "Book of Mormon Stories." At the end of this song it is hard to hear, but she sings right to sleep instead of righteously.

Friendly Egret

We went to Palm Desert last week. One of the days we saw an egret in the parking lot. He let us come up really close to him. We saw him a couple more times that week. One of the days he was just standing on someone's car.

Noah's Ark Exhibit at Museum

We went to a fun Noah's Ark Exhibit at the Skirball Museum. It is free to go on Thursdays, so we got tickets and decided to go check it out. It was very kid friendly. They had crafts that the kids could do and a lot of hands on activities and exhibits to climb on and in. A had a blast! I think that we will try to go back again soon.

Halloween!!

On Halloween our ward had a chili dinner followed by a carnival and ending with trunk or treat! A dressed up as a witch. B who has been down with the flu this week did not get to go. :( A showed him her costume before we headed out.
