Elementary Celebration

The kids all made it to the 20% increase party for the first part of the year.  It happened to be on a  Monday so Tony got to come with Allie and I to the assembly where they were awarded with their certificates.  We were two proud parents!

California 2019 - Driving Home

After four days of Disneyland and a day off we checked out of our hotel and drove down to San Diego.  We drove to Sea World.  We were there right when it opened, but the funny thing is they didn't open up their exhibits or rides for another half an hour to an hour. That was kind of lame but we waited it out and then saw lots of fun animals.
We all really love the animals and the shows.  Their was one ride that everyone (except Allie and I) went on and really liked. The big water ride was closed, so that was sad because that is a really fun ride.
After Sea World we drove to the hotel and checked in.  Then we went to get some dinner.  The first place was too busy for us to wait so we found some where else to eat that was quicker.  Then we went back to the hotel for the night.
The next morning we went to church before checking out of our hotel and driving to Las Vegas.  We went to dinner at Bucca DiBepo and it was so busy.  They told us that it would be a half an hour wait so we drove the strip for a while before coming back.  But then we waited another hour before they sat us.  We were pretty mad about that.  They kept telling us a few more minutes.  Jerks.  The food wasn't even very good, so that was a disappointing situation.
After dinner we went back to the hotel and went to bed.  The next morning we got up, got dressed, ate breakfast and then drove home.  It was a cold wet drive, but we made it home safe from a great vacation.  The kids all did really good on the trip even in the rain at Disneyland.  It was a super fun trip and we all had a great time!

California 2019 - Sea World





California 2019 - Wet Day Off

We took Wednesday off from the parks to rest and relax.  It was a rainy day so we did a little shopping, ate lunch at Red Robin, and then went to the movies.  We saw the Lego Movie 2.  It was an okay movie.  Allie slept through the whole thing but Josh laughed through the whole thing.  It is fun to go to the movies with Josh because he laughs out loud all the time.  It is super funny.
After the movies we went back to the hotel and had their nighttime reception dinner.  It was pretty good and then we went back to the room for the night.  We were all well rested for our next two days of Disney. 
Thursday and Friday were rainy days.  Thursday it rained hard all morning.  We were able to go and do things we had never done before that were indoors.  We did the drawing with the artist where we drew Pluto, then we met Elsa and Anna, and then did an interactive show with the turtle from Nemo.  It was all super fun and a perfect way to spend a rainy morning.
