Santa

So i am done with all my Christmas shopping and wrapping! It feels good, usually i am shopping the last couple of days till Christmas! So its been nice to enjoy the holiday! We took the girls to go see Thanksgiving Point lights and we have taken a few drives to see lights around neighborhoods, and the other night we went to the mall so they could see Santa and we were so lucky! no wait! The girls loved it this year they are finally getting to the age were they are getting it more and are really excited! They both did really good this year talking to him the last few years they have been too scared! Hallie told him she wanted a baby and Lily told him she wanted Lily Clems stuff HA HA Katie (all the toys you brought that day for your hair) too funny! Any ways i am really excited this year for Christmas to come! Something about having kids that just makes it so much better!

Lily was a witch Hallie was a tulip fairy, Josh was a life time factory worker lol whatever.. and boring me did not dress up!! Haloween was fun we took the kids to there trunk or treat, then we took them around my moms neighborhood. The girls had tons of fun they seemed to get it a lot better this year! They couldnt wait to go to the next door to say trick or treat. We got lots(too much if you ask me) candy.

my cute family

Sandiego Zoo

When we first got to the zoo the first thing we did was take a tour around the whole park to see where everything was and we saw a lot of the animals that way too. This zoo is a lot bigger then the Hogal zoo! They had more animals in each section too and there living space was way bigger! I dont really have a lot pf pics this day either i am thinking Josh got quite a bit on camera instead?? Hopefully. But they had tons of gorillas(11 i think) they had a cute little baby one we all like named frank. They had tons of cool big cats! (josh favorite a black jaguar) and the had African Lions i wish i had a picture of them they had a male and female and the were huge and so cool!! We also went on a sky ride they had a few times and we went to a sea lion show they had, they also had a little section of a petting zoo (also on video instead) but we got to walk around inside there cage or whatever and they got to pet lots of goats and sheep anmials like that)

Cute pic of hallie on the tour bus

Sea World

On the way to Sea World! We decided to save money (josh :) ) and take the free bus transportation they offered(it was almost a 2 hour drive from our hotel) And oh what a mistake that was!!! It was barely raining but our bus drive said his wind shield wiper wasn't working so he pulled off the free way and we had to wait for another buss to come take us! WHAT A PAIN!! it took forever we were over an hour later to sea world then we planned and the drive home was a joke! Lesson learned its worth paying the gas to take your own car! I still love you though josh!!( I wanted to take our car no matter what) So this is us on the beginning ride to Sea world

Lily thought it was so cool to pick the star fish up

another pic with her and a star fish

my Hallie girl

Josh and Hallie i thought this was a good pick he didnt know i was taking it!! ( they are by the flamingos, there were so many!)

Lily on the bus ride home asleep! Hallie slept the whole ride too(thank goodness!) And on the ride home he took everyone to there different Hotels! that was also a big Pain!!! took forever! And of course we were the last stop! I dont know why i dont have many pictures of Sea World but we had a lot of fun! We went to the main Shamu show twice and we went to the sea loin show. there were tons of cool stuff to go see. We also got a suprise splash/we actually got soaked by a dolphin! (Ya i was not expecting to get wet! oh well)
