They say it's your birthday!

Happy belated birthday, Dad......not bad, only one day off. Hope you had a great one! I know 25:)

What birthday? 

We made it back from vacation!

We survived! We went to California for 6 days......6 long days:) It was fun, but wow, we were constantly on the go. The kids really enjoyed themselves and it was refreshing to see Tyler try some new things. Also, it was nice to be Disneyland free this year!!!!

Lindsey glad to be outside! 

Michael surveying the situation. 

There was lot of seaweed that day.....Lindsey didn't mind, but Tyler sure did! 

Daddy and Michael.....I also love the person in the background on the rock....that would have been a cool photo. 

After he was knocked down by a wave:( 

After all the traveling and the beach, they were exhausted! 

Sea World

Monday, we went to Sea World. It was pretty exciting for Charles and I! Something different!!! It was not how I remembered the Sea World in Florida, but we enjoyed it just the same. Tyler was happy to see the penguins, just like Tacky Mrs. Darwin;) Lindsey and Michael enjoyed anything to do with the fish. Michael was really relaxed as we went through the shark encounter. Marine life fascinates them!

So happy to be at Sea World 

This just cracks us up! It's in Shamu's Happy Harbor. A whole area for the little ones. 

The flamingos sleeping were amazing to them! Go figure!

Sea World was cooler than he expected! 

Lindsey loved touching the starfish. Daddy had to hold her hand, so she wouldn't try to keep it:) 

We love this photo. Lindsey and I get the same "wild" hair when it's humid out!  

Our day at the beach!

What a nice day to be at the beach. Wednesday is not a busy beach day, I guess:) Lindsey and Tyler really enjoyed themselves in the sand....Lindsey is still asking to "go to the beach"! Unfortunately, Michael did not have the same feelings for the ocean as they did. Oh well, there is always next year!

Our little fishie! 

Not sure if he is really ready to try the beach again! 

Anticipating the next wave! 

Lindsey playing in the sand. She was too busy to look at a camera 

Tyler after being buried in the sand! 

Legoland

Legoland was all the kids hoped for and more! The animals made of legos were so lifelike....I think the kids thought they were real:). It was hot, but nothing an ice cream couldn't cure! Fun was had by all!

Tyler posing. 

Lindsey is ready for the boat ride! 

Michael and Dad relaxing. 

Hi! 

Knott's Berry Farm!

Thursday afternoon, we arrived at Knott's Berry Farm Resort Hotel. The kids were so excited! We stayed at Camp Snoopy and the room was decorated entirely of The Peanuts Gang! Snoopy came and tucked the kids in. Tyler was beside himself! There were alot of fun rides for all of the kids. They had a wonderful time...

Michael posing in his Snoopy outfit, Grandma Nev gave him. 

Tyler enjoying the carousel. 

Lindsey loved going on rides by herself.
