Visit Part 3: SeaWorld!

Finally the last installment of my brother's trip! (I went out of town last week, so I've been preoccupied!) We took my brother to SeaWorld of course. So enjoy scads of pictures! It was tons of fun.

The most exciting thing was seeing the new baby orca who was born on Valentine's Day:

Copying his mama:

The girls and I watching the family swim (mother, 2 brothers, and a sister):

Shamu show:

Most of these pics were taken with my brother's camera and they are awesome!!

David and Lindsey met Shamu!

Sea turtles:

Dolphin show:

Uncle David bought Whitney cotton candy and she was beyond thrilled:

Of course they loved the bay of play:

I love that both of Whitney's feet are off the ground:

I love this breed of flamingo, they are so bright:

We were so grateful to have David visit. The girls just adore him. I love being able to show family my favorite things down here so they can see why I love it so much. I hope you are doing well and had a great Easter. I'll post that later, but for now, I'll be enjoying LDS General Conference for the next 2 days! Find out more and watch here.

Visit Part 2: La Jolla

After a day and a half of enjoying wrestling, we decided to head down to La Jolla and enjoy the pretty view and sunset.

Here's the children's pool where it's birthing season for the seals. I know they look beached and dead, but I promise they aren't. Just soaking up some sun with their babies.

The awesome huge pelicans:

We walked out onto the wall and could see this little guy poking his head out of the water:

La Jolla is my favorite thing to visit down here because it's so pretty!

They were very vocal:

One of the things I love about southern California is that people can do and wear whatever they want. (I guess people have the right to do that everywhere but it seems like people are more individualistic down here) Including putting their dogs in matching pink and purple tutus. Whitney loved the "twinner" dogs. :-) I think I match my girls too much haha

Pelicans in flight:

She hates the sun and loves sun glasses:

Loving Uncle David:

I know you can't see her face, but the sunset is just so pretty!

Watching the sunset over the ocean is a new favorite hobby of mine. Words can't describe it and pictures can't show it, but it is so gorgeous! I feel so at peace and could watch it every night!

Visit Part 1

Remember our Fun Visitor from last year? Well, he came back! Last week, my brother, David came and we had lots of fun! We took may too many pictures for one post so I'm breaking it up.

We had made grand plans for the first day he was here. Ty took off work so we could go to SeaWorld and have lots of fun. The forecast leading up to the first day was rain :-( I really hoped that it wouldn't be that bad. There was even a double rainbow on the way to get him from his hotel, so my hopes were high: 

 

The girls were super excited to see him. They loved his hotel room a lot too. Whitney loved the cable tv and Lindsey loved the big mirror:

 We kept with our plans and headed down to San Diego, but the forecast still looked bleak. We drove past SeaWorld and headed to Ocean Beach.

 We walked out onto the pier and enjoyed the crashing waves. After we got further out, we saw dolphins jumping out of the water! (Who needs SeaWorld, right? :-)

 We headed down to Coronado, which we had never seen. Since we were so far south, I made convinced Ty to head down to an outlet mall which was basically at the border of Mexico:

 We stopped for dinner it Old Town:

 We headed down the road to a really cool Sheriff's Museum. It was totally free and really interactive:

 Wouldn't you be afraid to get pulled over by these two:

 Ty putting the girls in handcuffs:

 We got into some trouble:

 Look at this mugshot:

 Rescue helicopter:

It wasn't our plan for the day, but turned out really fun. I'm always excited to explore new places around town. The girls were disappointed they didn't go to SeaWorld, but absolutely thrilled to spend time with their uncle.
