CALIFORNIA

We had so much fun on our Alexander California Trip this year. It seemed to FLY by more than other years though. We had a great time going to the beach everyday, visiting with family, having a family home evening together, and getting our fill on Balboa Bars!

Coby and I went with Heather, Jeff, Chase, and Peyton to Sea World on Tuesday. It was so much fun. We saw 4 shows and they were great! Heather understood why Coby was on the Phoenix Suns Entertainment team because whenever they needed the crowd to participate, he jumped at the chance. If anyone wants to see how to get Shamu to splash, just ask Coby. Chase LOVED the sharks and Peyton loved the manitee's; I think because she had a lot of room to run around. After the kids were pretty tired, Coby and I went on a roller coaster a few times. We had a blast.

My mom puts together a Treasure Hunt every year for the kids. This years was pretty good. It's pretty funny to have all the people on the beach wonder what we're doing. Uncle Tom and Tiffany dressed up as pirates for a couple of the clues. It's fun getting all the kids dressed up and ready to find the treasure. We definitely out did last year. We always have lots of fun! Then after the Treasure Hunt we had Sub sandwiches with everyone on the grass by the beach. Can't wait til next year!
