A lot of Fam.. A lot of Fun... and A TON OF SO. CAL Sun!!

So we got back a few weeks ago from our AWESOME Southern Cali Vacation!. Bliss Bliss BLISS! Was it relaxing? Absolutely NOT! :) But it wasn't that type of vaca! It was a FUN IN THE SUN vaca! We bought the Southern Cali passes at Costco before we headed out and drove to Vegas for a quick sleep and then on the road again the next morning. I got a text from my sis-in-law asking,"Where are you?" I said, "An hour away", and that's when the fun began!!!

We drove up to 3 very excited boys and 1 unsure girl and in return gave them 2 crazy, ecstatic boys! We spent Thursday playing with the "San Diego Shoff's" ( Chris, Dianne, Hayes, Tyler, Scotty, & Caroline) and then on Friday did Sea World. And Yes, I shed a few tears during the Shamu Show. I mean Honestly, how do you train killer whales to do such things? And the music was so powerful....... Moving on. We went the S.D. Zoo the next day and a delicious dinner with the S.D. Shoffs and then to church on Sunday..... :) Yes, we do have our testimonies with us while on Vacation.

Then on Monday morning we drove to Anaheim for a 3-day stint at Disneyland..... where Emily truly becomes her kid self :). We were there from 9 am to 8:30 every night! Oh, and our kids were all wiped but it was SOO much fun. Especially since the S.D. Shoffs and some other friends joined us! Then we were going to head back to Utah on Wed. night but took one look at the weather report and said, " heck nO!!!!". So we stayed and went to Universal Studios on Thursday and then back down to San Diego until Saturday. We got home early Sunday morning and were all Wiped. But you couldn't wipe the smiles off our faces. Ba ha! Anyway, here are some pics! They not in order as you can tell. But the first pic is good cuz I said I was going to send it out for our Christmas cards. Shrek being Jake. Haha.
