Our Sea World Adventure

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?!
