Sea World and La Jolla Beach, San Diego, CA July 2009

My parents and my brother Scott came down to California for Jenna's baptism and we all went to Sea World and La Jolla Beach. My parents were able to bring my brother Cody's kids, Reagan and Garrett, when they came and Scott brought his whole family. We spent most of the day at Sea World. The kids had some much fun and so did the adults. We went on the rides and watched a few of the shows. The favorite show of the day was the Dolphins. My kids have all been before, so they had fun telling the other five kids all of the "ins and outs" of Sea World. After Sea World, we decided it would be fun to find a beach so that Reagan and Garrett could play in the water (They hadn't been able to play in the water when they saw the ocean in Oregan because it was too cold). We found La Jolla Beach by accident!! It was so beautiful. I wish the pictures showed more of it. The sand was so fine and soft and CLEAN! The water was warm and it wasn't crowded at all. The three older boys(Garrett, Joseph, and Jacob) went out into the waves to swim with Joe and a surfer came up and asked if the wanted to learn how to surf. I think all three boys nearly died from excitement. Joseph did awesome. He got up on the board the first try and rode that board all the way to the beach! Garrett did great as well once he got the hang of the balancing and rode pretty dang far too. Jacob had a little trouble getting up at first, but then he finally got it and rode all the way to the beach too! They could have stayed forever, but it got too dark. Jenna, Reagan, Ryan, Me and My mom stayed in the more shallow area but they had fun too letting the waves take them back and forth. We were so sad to leave. It was a great day and I can't wait to do it again!! Hopefully next time more of the family can come with us.
