Can we please stay?!

I wanted to stay in Cali forever! Especially this one and only sunny day we got there that you see below!

Bryn loved the sand! And the water....eventually. It took her a day or two to be ok with the ocean. She did love every second she spent in the pools, though. She would have been happy to just stay in Vegas and swim the whole time!



This is what the rest of our time there looked like....

But we still played in the sand and collected sea shells. I love San Diego sunny or not. :)
Daddy showed her how to find sea shells and collect them in her sand bucket. She was entertained for hours!


Bryn's favorite spot to be was on the porch of our hote. I didn't mind hanging out with her out there!



We ventured out to the San Diego Zoo since the weather was pretty perfect for walking around places like that and not as great for the beach. It was quite a hike! I was so worn out, but it was so fun showing Bryn the brown bears, polar bears, baby hippo, tiger, and tons of birds. She loves birds! And anything baby. So she loved the hippo and she was happy to see the polar bears eat.

We watched this giant elephant get a bath, eat and get his toenails filed. Bryn still brings it up to this day! It's so funny.
Sea World! Yes we gave in and got her this giant Shamu. She was so dang cute when she saw it. She jumped out of her stroller and hugged it and kissed it. Way too cute to say no!

I'm glad we got it to remember how much she loved this place. She was so happy to be up close to the big Shamu and touch him. I was so impressed she wasn't scared!

She was SO focused on the dolphin show. She loved this show and the Shamu show. She entertained everyone around us also by yelling, "YAY!!! You did it!". Funny girl.

Penguins! Her favorite!





Dolphin show...
I am so excited to say she even went on a ride with me! I was so sad last year when she hated Lagoon! She could have stayed to ride this Elmo ride all day! We also did an Abby tea cup ride. That was a little scarier for her, but she was laughing by the end!


You can tell how excited she is to be at Sea World... She didn't know what was coming!


Such a fun trip! I can't wait to go back. We need to go a bit later in the year so it's a little warmer next time, but I still loved every minute. I hadn't been to Sea World since I was 2 or so and I loved it! It was a blast and so fun to see Bryn's reactions. So worth the insane amount it cost to get in! At least I think so! :)

Ok I love the shades. And she left them on. So cute. I can't wait for school to end so we can hang out all summer.

Super cute, Lyns! I'm glad you had such a good time. At this point in the year, I would take cool, overcast days than what we are having for sure! Bryn is so cute and I love your haircut!
