Yesterday we got back from a fun vacation to California. We all had a really good time. We went with all of Tony's family. The only one who wasn't there was Tony's brother-in-law who is in Iraq. Tony's brother, Nathan, will be going off to Optometry school soon so Tony's parents wanted to do a big family vacation before he leaves.
We left on Friday afternoon (just our little family) and drove to St. George. We stayed at my Grandpa Willis and Anna's home that night. On Saturday morning we visited my Aunt Connie and then we went to Tony's grandparents home. After we stayed there a while the rest of Tony's family met up with us and we all headed down to Las Vegas for the night. Then Sunday we headed down to Southern CA. We went to Sacrament (in the Tongan ward), then headed to our hotel.
Then Monday started the fun at Disneyland. We did Disneyland on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Tyler could go on a lot more rides this time, so it was tons of fun to take him for the first time. He enjoyed all the rides (even the big scary ones). He did say that some were scary, but he did them all more then once. He even went on "Tower of Terror" and got his t-shirt from Grandma for going him first time.
Josh also had a good time. He seemed to enjoy all the rides he could go on and took pretty good naps in the stroller. We pretty much pooped them out every day so they both slept really good at night.
On Tuesday morning Tyler woke up with an ear ache, so we took him to a clinic and they said that he had an ear infection. So we got him some medicine and was on our way back to the park for more fun. Tyler did get tired extra easy with being sick, and even fell asleep while I was holding him while waiting in line for "Peter Pan." Then he took a pretty good nap sleeping on Tony and then we put him on the table. It was a nice break for us all to sit in the shade while Tyler and Josh took their naps. A couple things were closed, so we were sad about that but we all really enjoyed Disneyland and are excited to go back next year.
On Thursday we packed our bags and headed down to San Diego. We visited Old Town and went to the Mormon Battalion. It was really neat and they had a fun place for the kids to play at the end of the tour. The kids loved playing in the water, especially Josh who got him self soaked. After touring around Old Town, we headed back to the hotel for some pool time - always a good time at the pool and hot tube.
Then Friday it was Sea World. A favorite of the whole family. We got to see all the fun animals and see many different shows. They changed the dolphin show from the last time Tony and I had seen it, and I really like it, but Tony was disappointed they didn't feature more of the dolphins. Josh decided he didn't feel good this day, and threw up a couple times. Luckily I brought an extra outfit with me.
Saturday we headed back to Las Vegas. We got into some really bad traffic that took us an extra two hours (at least) to get to Vegas. But we made it and we were very happy about that. Then Sunday we headed back home. All in all it was a great trip and we all had a good time. The weather was very nice and warm. We all came back with nice tan (maybe a little red) skin. We are very grateful to Tony's parents for sponsoring such a great trip and enjoyed spending more time with the family!
