My sister, Jennilyn, and her husband, Brandon were here over the weekend from Palo Alto with their two girls, Kalijane and Maci. We had so much fun with them! We went to Sea World on Saturday and saw Shamu! We saw the dolphin show, the Cirque De La Mer, the sharks, sea turtles, held star fish in our hands, and more. It was a great great day! Here are Dainen and Maci. It was so hot, they got pretty worn out quickly. But they had fun together. Maci kept giving Dainen kisses. :)
Brandon tried to reach out in the water to get a baby starfish for the girls to hold, but he almost fell in. It looked closer than it really was. So Ryan held on to him while he reached out and got it.
The girls really liked holding the Starfish. It had to stay under the water though so it could breathe, and the water was really really cold, so they didn't hold it for very long. Kali thought the underside of the starfish felt funny.
We went into one of the aquariums and they had this magnifying glass so you could get a closer look at the fish... needless to say, we had more fun looking at ourselves. (You can see our small legs under it.)
These are from Cirque De La Mer. There were two performers/clowns who did things with the audience in between the other performances.
This guy was hanging onto a net. He would wrap it around his body and then fall and the net would hold him because of how it was wrapped. It was so cool!
Dainen was actually awake when we went into this aquarium. He just stared at all of the fish. He liked the different colors. This is him looking at the octopus.
We went across a bridge and there were just tons of Flamingos. It was so cool. Ryan told us that the reason they are that color is because they eat Salmon and the color in the Salmon turns the Flamingos that pinkish/orange color.
Here's our little family. Aren't we cute?
Jennilyn and her family came over on Sunday . They went to church with us and we all had dinner together. Kali wanted to play dress up, but we have a 5 month old boy who doesn't play dress up... So this is the best we could come up with. I actually still wear this outfit.
After dinner, we drove over to the San Diego Temple. It is So Pretty!! Here I am with Ryan, and one of Jennilyn and me.
My mom asked me to get a picture of all of her grandkids together. We thought it would be fun to do it at the temple. The kids, however, did not agree! Here you go Mom!
And, last but not least, a picture of my boys looking at the temple. How sweet is that?!
YAY! My big boy!
He really did like it. It doesn't really look like he did in this picture.

Here I am with my baby. What a cutie! 
Sitting with Morgan and Madelynn. 
At sunset. So pretty! 
The water was too cold to go into, but the sand was fun to play in. Dainen thought the sand felt funny on his feet. 
Every time I tried to set him in it, he would curl up his toes and his legs and not want to stand. It was really funny. The fireworks were really great! We were going to go watch some from downtown San Diego, but we were told that Huntington has the best show, and I think they were right. Dainen really liked watching the colors and the lights. We made sure to bundle him up good and we just sat back and watched the show. We thought he would fall asleep pretty quick, but he got through most of the fireworks. All in all, it was a great day!
Madelynn was totally chill and didn't really react, even when some of the other kids in the pool pushed her around in her floating car.
Dainen just kept looking around and held on to me for dear life. When I would dip him in the water up to his chest he would get this really worried look on his face and his eyes would get really wide. It was funny. He is so cute! (Have I said that before??)
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a swimsuit or anything for him to wear in the water so he just wore a onesie. If anyone knows where I can find a suit that will fit him, please let me know! Overall, it was a good experience. We had a lot of fun and look forward to going again!
