San Diego

Last week I was able to go to San Diego with my Mom and Sister-in-law Hannah. We had so much fun. We fit an awful lot into three days! Here are some of my highlights!!!

The first day we spent at Sea World, it was a blast. I wondered if you needed kids with you to have a good time, but we had so much fun! It is amazing what they are able to get the animals to do. I loved all the shows, it wasn't very crowded so we got around to everything in a short amount of time! Later that evening we walked around Old Town and ate at a great Mexican Restaurant!

The next day we went to the San Diego Zoo. We walked and walked and walked. I was AMAZED that we saw all of it. It was HUGE! We each had a favorite animal. Mine was the Panda's, Hannah's was the Koala Bears, and my mom's was the Giraffe!! There was a little baby Giraffe that kept running into the shelter to see it's mom then back out, it was soooo cute!

We were so exhausted after the zoo, but we went to the Temple and walked around and took some pictures. I loved it. It is truly beautiful! I am always amazed at the spirit you feel, but by being near the Temple! Then we ate dinner across the street at the California Pizza Kitchen--Yummmm!

Our last day we walked around the Beach~~~I LOVE THE BEACH!! I love the sound of the ocean, and the calmness it brings. It was beautiful and great weather! We were on Coronado Island, we walked around a bit. Did a little shopping, then grabbed lunch at a cute deli. I had so much fun. Missed my family a lot, but had a blast. Then to top it all off, Elliot and the kids surprised me and picked me up at the airport!!

More San Diego!

I forgot a couple things to add to my last post. First the beautiful scenery. I thought that San Diego was so beautiful. Here are a couple of the things I loved!

Next, we stayed in my Grandpa's house in San Diego, It was so cute and cozy! It was great to have a comfortable place to come back to each night. We loved it!

Easter

We were so happy that Easter turned out to be pretty good weather! Mykell was excited to find the eggs that the Easter Bunny hid. Their present wasn't ready yet but they had a couple little toys to play with. They looked so cute in their Easter outfits! As usual Mykell wasn't much of a picture taker that day! That afternoon we went to my parent's for and Easter dinner and an Easter egg hunt! My Grandpa Dunkley came, as usual it was great to see him. Mykell loved looking for candy and Eggs with her uncles. She employed Uncle Brett as the baby holder (see the picture, it's kind of cute!). We had to hurry home so I could get to work. All in all it was a great day!

Last One!!!!

Not to be outdone by his older sister. Here is my little guy all dressed up in his Easter best!! What a cutie!!

Coloring Eggs!

Tonight we colored Easter eggs, it was SO much fun. Mykell LOVED it! This was the first year she understood and had fun doing it. Now she is so excited for the Easter Bunny to come and hide her eggs. It was a messy endeavor, but so much fun. I hope the nursery leaders understand the dirty fingers tomorrow! Even with a bath we are still stained!

The Frogs

So since the posts are reading in the wrong order you should read the baby animal post before this one. If not, you may be confused. These are the little frogs (if you can see them), that Mykell got yesterday!! Yay they are still alive! You can't see them well, but she is pretty proud of her little frogs. I asked her what their names are and she just said "Ribit!"

Baby Animal Day

Elliot, his mom, my Sister-in-law Kelli and the kids all went to baby animal day on Friday. I was pretty sad to have missed this, but I needed to be getting a quick nap and getting ready for work. I think they had a blast. Mykell hasn't stopped talking about it. She keeps telling me we need to go back and hold the ducks again! They got to see the Easter Bunny, but unfortunately Mykell was too scared, so no picture, oh well! She even won a couple tiny frogs (won meaning we paid for them!). She LOVES the frogs, (me, not so much!). I hope I can go next year, but in the mean time I have some cute pictures!~
