CALIFORNIA







We went to California for the kids October break. They get almost three weeks off in October, which I LOVE, because it is such a perfect time to travel. The weather is nice and places aren't crowded and the kids are ready for a break from school. We stayed at the house in Carlsbad and the weather was PERFECT! We spent two days at Legoland. Legoland is great for kids there age because they can go on all the rides. Gabe has to be with an adult most of the time, but he can still ride, and Maryn and Luke can go by themselves. I think this is one of the best amusement parks for kids ten and under.
Daron and the kids spent one day at Sea World while Ian and I went shopping and went to visit a friend. Their aim was to get as wet as they could and they said mission accomplished. They sat in the splash zone at all the shows and rode the rides that go them the wettest over and over.
We spent a day at the beach and the kids had a great time digging in the sad. We met a nice older couple and realized they were LDS when we saw him reading his Book of Mormon. Turns out he was a Catholic priest in Ireland before he converted to the church about 7 years ago.
