San Diego Zoo

We had originally planned on Disneyland but Grace wanted to go to Hollywood instead. Scary. We compromised on the San Diego zoo which was fun but tiring. It was probably 90 degrees and we were all a little sunburned from the beach. I didn't bring Gunnar's stroller so by the end of the day I was carrying him to the car. Not easy when your 2 year old weighs 42 pounds. It was still a pretty fun day but I think next year we'll do Hollywood. Hannah Montana here we come!

Go Angels!

So as we were getting ready for the game, Grace picked her outfit out hoping that she would get on the jumbo tron. Whenever there were people on the jumbo tron, Grace would dance like crazy and jump up and down. Everyone around us was laughing and just thinking "whatever kid." When all of a sudden we look up and we were all on the jumbo tron. It pretty much made Grace's life. She was ready to sign autographs as we left the stadium. I don't know if Gunnar loved the game more, or the ice cream sandwich that Grandma Ruth got him.

We love SoCal!

So I obviously went waaay overboard on pictures here but I really could not pick which ones I wanted to post! We had the funnest week at the beach house my mom rented in Newport Beach. I have not relaxed like that in six years! I am really proud of myself because I even got a little tan. If you know my mom, you would know that even at my tannest I am still an albino next to her. But for the first time in my life I was able to stay on the beach as long as she did! We are talking eight hours a day people. Add El Cholo to the mix and I would say it was a little bit of paradise. We seriously ate Mexican food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You think I am exaggerating but you do not know how good enchiladas can be at 9 am.

The kids had so much fun! My cousins and my aunt and Grandma came down to play a couple of days while we were there and it was so fun to hang out with them. My grandma is the funnest person to be around and can make me laugh harder than anyone! My cousins were the best babysitters and I felt like I did not even see my kids the whole day because they were so entertained! My cousin Miranda is Grace's age and they played so well together and I seriously HATE writing on my blog because I sound like such an idiot. This is for you Heather
