California Trip

We went to California for A WHOLE WEEK for Chad's birthday and we had a BLAST Logan became such an independent little man. He is definately not a baby anymore. He surprised us with lots of new habits and phrases he learned. We took him to the San Diego Zoo and of course I didn't take a lot of pictures cause the animals were eating or sleeping. we also took him to Sea world and seriously.. We LOVE Sea World. We did pretty much everything you can there. Logan Loved the sting rays and he actually wanted to touch them. He loved the UNDERGROUND shark exhibit (he is usually afraid of anything enclosed so it was awesome.) Chad's birthday was amazing, the best day ever (you will read about that below) All my pictures are just in order of the day taken so they are just all over the place. Thank you so much to Jeanette and Dave who let us stay with them. They are my sister in laws parents and they are so funny, sarcastic and fun. We love hanging out with them. I love that San Diego is so close cause we love it there so much. Logan has already been there 3 times. we wish we could move there, but it is just too expensive.



Logan was absolutely adorable. He HAD to roll his luggage to the door it was so cute.



And what is a day without basketball...where there is a hoop, he must play.


Look at how crazy this pic is, if there wasn't a big thick piece of glass seperating these two, I would have a heart attack



Daddy did ALL the uphill pushing, Sorry babe, but I am not as strong as you are.

Chad's birthday was our absolute favorite day of the whole week. We went to a beach in Laguna Niguel. It was a family beach, not college kids everywhere.We loved it. Then after a few hours there, we went and grabbed a Papa Johns pizza and had a picnic at a recreational park right by the lake. We let Logan play at the park for a little while and then we headed back to San Diego. Chad wanted pick up stix for dinner and what my baby wants my baby gets. It was his birthday after all. It was just an amazing, relaxing and wonderful day












This is how we found Logan LOTS of times just passed out in the car. He is so cute, I can not stand it.

Mommy cuddled Logan A LOT


Daddy ran with Logan A LOT



Chad buried Logan in the sand..he loves it

He loves it....

He HATES it....

Logan can FLY

don't worry, Daddy always catches him..and he wants more.

Logan had such a blast with the sting rays, I was SHOCKED that he wanted to touch anything there (he is usually afraid of everything)


Chad took tons of pictures at the Shamu show, but all Shamu show pics look the same so I posted my favorite pics of the show, so as not to bore you all.



Logan LOVED his bucket of cotton candy


Initially Logan screamed when he saw Elmo, but by the time we left him Logan was giving him knuckles, high fives and kisses.



Logan could not figure out how to put on hi 4D glasses

but he finally got it

Dolphin Show


When we got to the helicopter at the polar bear exhibit, Logan just kept saying "I drive? I drive?"





After Sea World we had a picnic at Mission Bay it was beautiful



Chad had to get EVERY STEP of the sunset




Last day at the beach. Perfect night for the sunset, it was beautiful







Chad taught Logan how to throw a frisbee



Tender moments with Mommy and Daddy

wow! what a fun trip! Your boy sure is lucky to have such fun parents! I'm not exactly sure how my header is so big. Maybe it was in the header option and I unselected shrink image? haha sorry I wish I knew...but it wasn't really on purpose, it just happened!
