Sunny San Diego

Hi-Ho Hi-Ho it was off to San Diego we went.....only one problem....without Chad?!?! What you might say would overcome me to leave my hubby home.....well to make a LONG boring story short and boring....two weeks before we were set to leave he got told he had to give a HUGE presentation for work......he weighed it out....Job vs San Diego.....so off Me, my Mom and the kids went.....
First stop......my all time favorite....Sea World.....funny story....they had it all decked out in Halloween stuff so on Saturday you could wear your costume and go around and trick-or-treat at different little stations they had set up and what would you get for your bag.....none other than Bananas?!?!?! Yeah you heard me right bananas.....umm that line wasn't very long....anyway story time is over...by the way that had nothing to do with the above picture....moving right along...
Paid a visit to my friend Oscar
Kids hangin out by the bubble blowing octopus
Who would miss out on the sweet cow in bermudas....I mean really?!?...Mom was gonna try and climb the fence to ride the cow.....I told her I couldn't lift her over the fence after she fell so she opted not to climb over...
No I'm not pregnant that is my belt under my shirt....ugh why did I even post this picture duh.....
my absolute FAVORITE part of Sea World.....feeding the most amazing animals on this planet the dolphins......I spared you the other 25 pictures that were taken....your welcome...
meanwhile back at the hotel....Cayden and I spent plenty of time wrestling...little booger thinks his mom is a wimp....I don't think so buddy....
just a little more of the bubble blowing pink octopus....
The river raft ride "Shipwreck Rapids" we talked Grandma into going on it....of course because I was TOTALLY prepared with my Wal-Mart 88 cent ponchos......then we almost couldn't get her off.....oh this was after the ride......just a little damp...
This ride......we tried to lie and say it wasn't a roller-coaster.....Grandma just ain't stupid.....so she wouldn't go but the kids and I had a blast....well Kenna and I did....Cayden is in the very back row buried in his jacket behind me and Kenna....

after the 3rd time on the rapids.....we were wet!

Nice and dry before the rapids.....
Attack of the Polar Bears......or complete insanity...one of the two....
Grandma had so much energy and was so excited about all the walking we did she decided to carry Kenna.....
Kenna helpin Grandma climb the ice mountain
Hidin out in the bear lair.....
Kenna's attempt at being photographer.....and our attempt at being funny.....
Grandma didn't know what she had gotten herself into just yet.....we were waiting for the shuttle to Sea World....dun dun dun the lovely "birds of paradise" were in full bloom....and really who wouldn't want a picture of them..
Then it was off to the beach......of course Grandma's idea to walk....
okay maybe walking wasn't such a good idea for her.....
and the dirt.....I mean the beach.....
We had so much fun! We were sad that Chad couldn't go with us but were so happy Grandma was able to come and have fun with us......where we headed next?!?!

Looks like an awesome trip. I've heard San Diego is a blast. Maybe some day Ken and I can take our family. Or, I can go with the kids, and he can stay home and work :)

We have some great memories there in that bear cave. Hunter got so scared when he heard the bear that he ran out of the cave strait past me as I was waiting for him to come out. And he wasn't stopping even for mommy.
