Fun in the Sun!

We just got back last night from San Diego.  It was a great trip, wish we would have stayed longer.  It isn't until you go to a sunny, warm place that you realize just how cold Seattle is! 

When we arrived in San Diego on Saturday the sun was shinning and it was hot, in the 80's.  We didn't have much planned for Saturday so once we were able to check into our hotel we went to Mission Beach and walked along the board walk.  Kayden had fun chasing the birds and playing in the sand.  I tell ya, he liked chasing the seagulls until they opened their wings, then he became a little more cautious.  LOL.

On Sunday we got up and visited Nana and Aunt Joyce and the rest of the family in Fullerton.  Kayden had a ton of fun with Bailey, they are only a week or two apart.  She is very cute!  The kids had fun playing in the sprinkler and bubbles Aunt Wendy brought over.  Kayden loves bubbles and I can't wait for this spring and summer so we can enjoy them outside!  We play with them in the bath now, but that isn't the same as chasing them around outside and popping them once they land on the ground! 

On Monday we got up and went to Sea World.  Kayden had a really awesome time and so did Kyle and I.  Kayden was so good the whole trip, his schedule was completely disrupted, but he was a trooper and walked the whole time at Sea World and threw zero fits.  It was awesome and just made me and Kyle realize how lucky we are to have an amazing kid! 

Kayden loved seeing the dolphins and Shamu.  He goes around telling people Big Whale, Big Splash and almost screams it as he is saying it.  Very cute.  We also saw Penguins and Sea Lions, they scared Kayden a bit when they barked, it was kind of funny.

We ended up going to Sea World twice, once on Monday and once on Tuesday.  Since it is winter/spring months they close the park early, at 5, so it was difficult to see most of the park without running out of time, so on Monday we chased all the shows and on Tuesday we saw the other things, like the shark tank, turtles, road a few rides and played a few games.  We had a lot of fun.

Sea World is so big, I had no idea.  I am really glad we were able to go two days, when we left on Monday I really felt like we missed a lot of what the park had to offer, so it was nice to be able to get a second chance to see all the things we would have otherwise missed. 

Then Wednesday it was time to pack up and return home.  :(  Kayden did awesome on the airplane.  On the way down there he played the whole time and then on the way home he slept most of the time, we have really been lucky with him flying.  I am extremely grateful for how well our whole trip went.  It was a lot of fun!  Going to CA and seeing the sunshine made me realize how much I am looking forward to the summer!

Here he is again chasing the birds!
