Breakfast with Elmo and Friends

On Saturday we went to Sea World and had breakfast with Elmo and Friends. If you ever get a chance to do this you should. First it is the BEST breakfast ever and second the kids really enjoyed it. The characters came around to every table and you were able to take pictures with them and then they all did a little dance together. I was worried Kinsey might be afraid of them but she wasn't at all! In fact, none of the kids seemed to be scared. Hannah and Kinsey ran around and hugged all of them. Josh just wanted to be left alone so he could eat his breakfast!!After we ate breakfast we went to some of the exhibits and then, my favorite part, we rode all the kiddy rides. You don't know how happy it makes my heart to have a child that loves to ride rides. Clayton HATES it!!! I told him that is why we need 3 kids. They will all have a partner to ride with and he can take the pictures!!! Here are some pictures of Breakfast with Elmo and Friends.





The First Day in San Diego

We decided that we would wake up and go to the best donut shop in San Diego and have a picnic at the park. When we got to the park we all sat down to eat but it didn't take long for the kids to realize that they would rather play instead. Now before I tell you the next part, let me let you know that there is an airport right next to the park. So the kids are playing and having a great time until a plane takes off at the airport and flies right over our heads. It was so loud!!!! Kinsey begins to shake uncontrollably and starts screaming and crying. Of course, I start laughing!!! She is having a fit so we are trying to load everything and everyone up in the car as quick as we can but the planes are just taking off left and right. We finally start to leave and we are going to the beach for the day. As anyone who has a child knows, kids Kinsey's age like to say the same word over and over and over!!! So for the next 15 minutes I had to hear "MOM....AIRPLANE"! At this point, Krissy decides that it is best if we don't tell Kinsey that she will be getting on an airplane in a few more days!!! We went to a beach (I don't remember the name of it) but the only way on and off is on the highest bridge I have ever seen. As we start going up the bridge I notice these signs that say "Suicide Helpline" and they give a number to call. I said well that isn't something that I want to see as we go up this tall bridge. Krissy said that they have quite a few suicide attempts on that bridge. I asked her how they get to the top of the bridge because there is absolutely no room to walk. She said that people just drive up to the top of the bridge, stop and get out. I prayed the whole time we were on the bridge that no one would stop!!! We get to the beach and the kids had so much fun. The water is freezing there but Hannah and Kinsey didn't care at all. Josh on the other hand didn't want any part of it. As we are leaving my child decides that it is time to take the biggest poo poo of her life!!! I am in the parking lot trying to change her and she keeps pointing and saying...Who's that? I look up and just a few feet from us was an award ceremony! I was so embarrassed!!! Here are some pics of the beach.
