I MISS YOU CALIFORNIA!

We recently returned home from a trip to California! We had so much fun. Tuesday after finals we hit the road for St. George, I questioned driving because my eyes were sleepy by Salt Lake. We made it safe and sound and rather quickly. The speed limit a lot of the way is now 80mph! YAHOO
Day one~ driving, we did get to stay the night with a friend that served in my mission.
Day two~ we headed towards Vegas where we met up with our Friends Cami and Mike and their 4 kids. We all road together to sunny CA! We stopped in Redlands to see Derrick's aunt and uncle. We made our lunch and headed on our way to San Diego! Oh my gosh I was super excited about being there! I was like a child on Christmas Eve... couldn't wait for the next day

Day Three~ OFF to SEA WORLD! A place I have waited 25yrs. to go! I watched Free Willey and loved it as a child! I got to see SHAMU! so one of my favorite shows was with the seals! Loved the Atlantis ride.

 This is the Coy family

Shamu is soooo cool! LOVED IT!

Day Four~Little crispy, but stil ha fun at Lego Land. You would not believe the things that can be made out of Lego's, unless you have been there.

When you danced on these dots, the music played and water came out! SO fun!
Derrick was having more fun then the kids.

We peddled our way on this roller coaster, if you call it that!

Yes this is made out of sand!

Day 5~ Beach Baby, We headed to the beach and had so much fun. Cami, Ryan and I went out to jump the salty waves. My contacts did not like the salt so much and we may have gone a little far out and the life guards yelled at us on their speakers.

Cute little Preston

This is Maddie, I got to do her hair everyday.

After the beach we headed to Vegas.... what a long car ride with the little ones.... I can't count how many times I heard SHAMU SHAMU and the hand signs followed.... Derrick and I were licked, hit with flying objects, and so many others things. We got our car in Vegas and headed to St. George for the night. Home to Morgan for Easter and Petersen to have lunch with Derrick's family.

I was waiting for a few more pictures to post this... but I'll post it without them!
