California

This summer, Cameron had one week between fall and summer classes so we decided, at last minute, to visit Cameron's brother in San Diego and have a little vacation. It was a jam packed week but so much fun. It was especially fun visiting Johnny and Mandy and their cute family. They are such a fun family! Thanks again for allowing us to stay with you guys. You were great hosts and we had a blast. We hated to leave!
Sea World was so fun. It is small enough that we could walk all over the park without Talmadge getting too tired but big enough to have a variety of attractions.

La Jolla Beach was a blast! We got there just before the high tide came in. There were tons of sea creatures along with the hugest star fish I had ever seen. The kids had so much fun finding hermit crabs and sticking their fingers in the sea animates.

We were able to see the San Diego Temple. It is so beautiful!! I wish we had had time to go inside especially since Johnny and Mandy offered to watch the kids one night if we wanted to go.

The Wild Animal Kingdom was amazing! This is Talmadge petting a deer. They had a section where you could go and mingle with the deer. That was pretty cool.

This is a picture of the savanna area of the park. I was so shocked to see all the animals roaming together. So different than a zoo with caged animals.
