California Fun

Saturday, January 5, 2008 - Las Vegas Ah, the cute girls! On our way down to Newport Beach, we stopped in Las Vegas to visit Cassy Dickerson. It was a great break, and the kids loved running around and around in the house. (We'd already had a few hours of driving by then, and had a few more to go...). The kids were actually really good in the car, and the Honda Odyssey with DVD player was definitely a big help for this trip. Sunday, January 6, 2008 - Newport Beach Church was great, we made it just on time, and it was right next to the beautiful temple! We spent a while after church just walking the grounds of the temple. It was a little cool, but very beautiful and peaceful. Monday, January 7, 2008 - Tidepool Beach Just down from the place we stayed was a beach that was a protected reserve for tide pool creatures. It was fun to see the creatures in the tide pools, but it was just fun for the kids to get out and run on the beach. Unfortunately we weren't allowed to collect shells at this beach. Tuesday, January 8, 2008 - Seaworld The kids were so excited about Seaworld. We loved all of the shows, and I think we were able to catch most 0f them. It wasn't too crowded, and it was quite warm until later in the afternoon. We had a "fun backpack" for Jonathan, which had a "cool strap" connected to Dad's hand. Nobody got lost at Seaworld ;). Rebekah especially loved the hands on tide pool, where we could pick up and hold sea stars.
