Lego Land. Our favorite part of the trip. Mom and Jerry went to the carving show for part of the day so it was mostly just our family. The weather was the best this day. It started out raining so I was a little nervous but it turned out wonderful. Besides the rides there is a lot of hands on things to do within the rides. Maggie loved it.
This was her favorite ride. You got to shoot water cannons at the people watching and others on the ride. You also got shot by others too. It was a lot of fun. They have a "parent swap" program so if you have a little one that can't ride, one parent rides and then you switch. The best part of that is that the kid gets to ride twice. Its only advertised on line I'm stoked I found it.
This is so my Dad. The socks with sandles and the loud shirt pins him perfect. Not to mention asleep on a bench.
Maggie with Lego surfer. EVERYTHING is made of lego. It is really cool to see.

That sums up Lego Land for us. We wish it would have been hotter because there were a lot more areas to play in the water and some more water rides that we didn't do. On the other hand that would have meant more people. The lines were super short. The most we were in line was 10 minutes and some of the rides we walked right on. It was perfect.
A funny story. There were these little shows. We happened to catch one right at lunch time. It was about some guys applying to be fire fighters. The ground was squishy and they would do all these stunts and silly things. They got the crowd all into it. Asking them questions and stuff. I had just turned to Brooks and told him how cheesy this things was. Next thing I know I am so into this show that they asked if they should put the fire out and I shouted right out loud "NO", and threw my hands up. I couldn't believe myself. Brooks was cracking up. I was a little embarrassed. Super funny though.
Sea World. This was the coldest day. So we had to skip the splash zones and the water rides. Bummer. Maggie's favorite show was the dolphins, because of the princess.
Maggie and the dolphin princess.
Feeding the sea lions. A stupid seagull flew by and tried to eat our fish and flapped Maggie right in the face. They were everywhere and it was super annoying.
This was Maggie's Favorite part, the star fish. Mostly because she could touch them. She is super hands on. It's a good thing they are durable little creatures.
That sums up Sea World. The polar bears were super fun to watch too.
We all had our favorite shows. Mom liked the Shamu show, Me and Maggie loved the dolphins and Brooks' favorite was the sea lions and otter show.
Safari Park. We chose to do the safari park over the zoo. I figured Maggie wouldn't know the difference between San Diego or any other zoo. It was super cool to see the animals in their natural habitats. The elephants were my favorite. They let them out once a day to find food that they have hid and buried to keep them rummaging and learning. That was super cool to see. They had a little baby that was born a week after Zoey. Super cute.
The fam on the Rino.
Maggie's favorite, the carousel. I don't know why but she loves these things. She picked the rabbit of all things. Whatever I guess as long as she was happy. And she was.
The baby gorilla. So so so cute. He was only like 18" tall and was all over the place. There was one daddy and three mommies. They were like his jungle gym. We watched him for a long time.
Brooks and Maggie Hanging with the bats. We decided to take pics here but skip the bat house itself.

Zoey's 1st airplane ride. She did so good on all 4 flights. We flew southwest so they of course had to drag us through half the country. we stopped in phenix both ways. The flights were just over an hour so perfect for the girls. Straight threw would have been nice but this worked out great too.
Maggie's 1st airplane ride. She liked the bathrooms the best.
We had so much fun. We also went to the beach the first day (no pics) and Coranado Island for dinner on a fairy the second day. We swam at the condo one night before we came home. The other nights we were so pooped we went to bed around 8:30-9. We are still recovering. It's very hard to come home to the cold and snow. BUMMER.
