Happy 4th of July!!

I know this is a little late, but for the 4th of July we decided to go to San Diego. We have not been on a vacation since we had Boston and Preston. We had been wanting to take them to a zoo, and since the one here in Las Vegas is totally scarry, we decided on the San Diego Zoo. We left Friday morning and after we got checked into the hotel we took the boys swimming in the swimming pool. They had a lot of fun. They love to jump off the side and have us catch them in the water. We then headed off to the Gas Lamp Quarters in San Diego. We thought this was the best bet to catch some fireworks. We went and saw Petco Park where the San Diego Padres play. They have a nice field. We were sorry we couldn't catch a baseball game while we were there. Here is a picture of me and the boys behind Right Field.
We then walked down by the water and waited for the Fireworks. We had to wait until about 9 p.m. for them to start. By this time the boys were extremely tired (they had not taken an afternoon nap, and had only slept for about an hour that morning in the car on the way down). When the fireworks first started Preston was a little scarred. Everytime they boomed he would give a little cry. Then Preston kept closing his eyes. At first I thought it was to not look at the fireworks, then I realized he was asleep. How can you fall asleep during that, I don't know. Here is a picture of Preston asleep at the fireworks.Boston was so is awe of them. He was just leaning up against Gary with big eyes. He didn't make a sound just watched. I thought I had taken a picture of it but I guess I didn't. It was so cute though. Today we watched the video we took of it and both Boston and Preston were so excited. They kept yelling WOW!. Its funny that we didn't get the same reaction the first time in person. OH well.
Saturday we took them to the zoo. They had a lot of fun. They enjoyed seeing all the animals. Everytime we would come up to an exhibit, they would stand up in the stroller and hold the railing so they could get a good look. I will just post a bunch of the pictures of the things that we saw. It was hard to tell if they had a favorite. They were pretty excited with every animal we came to.










Boston and Preston had a lot of fun at the zoo. It was so cute everytime they saw an animal they would try to make the sound it makes. Alot of animals however say quack quack. But they did get a few others right. After the zoo we went back to the hotel room to take a nap. Everyone was tired from being out in the sun all day. Here is a couple of pictures of Preston and Boston chilling in the hotel eating their McDonalds.


To end the night we went to dinner and then drove around LaJolla. We didn't really have alot of time to spend at the beach as it was kind of a quick trip. I was a little sad about that. I wanted to boys to be able to play in the sand and ocean. Oh well we will have to plan another trip just for the beach. After dinner though we did stop at one of the beaches in LaJolla. We let the boys walk out in the water. They didn't really like it at first. I don't know if it was the cold water or the way the water moved that they didn't like. After a minute Preston kind of decided he liked it and kept wanting to go back in so I was a little sad that we didn't have our swimsuits.


That was the end of our fun trip. We came back this morning and were glad to be home. We hope everyone had a fun 4th of July. We are so lucky and blessed to have our freedom.

P.S. Due to the trip I sadly missed my 10 Year High School Reunion. I can't believe that I have been out of high school that long. I hope everyone that went had a good time. I would love to hear how it was so anyone looking at my blog that went please leave a message and let me know. So far I have not come across any pictures or posts about it yet. Happy 10 Year Reunion all those from good ole Delta High!
