while on vaca

Did I mention we were going on a mini vacation? We went to California. Actually Rich had to go for a seminar and we tagged along for the ride. Not as relaxing as one may desire, but super fun none the less. At the beach. Both times we tried to go it didn't really work out. The first time it was so dark by the time we got there and the second time it was so cold. But that didn't stop us from having fun!

And we picniced on the closed lifeguard tower to get a little shelter from the wind.

Now this is always the kids favorite part of any trip. The hotel pool. We swam 3 times!! And it was way fun. Even if Max never really did get in he had fun walking around and throwing the ball in for the kids to swim to.

We could have spent the entire time here.

Max didn't like the sand... At all...

Love those kids!

The giant aquarium by the cheesecake factory in Las Vegas was SO entertaining for the kids. But the dragon show was not, at least for Max. He booked it as fast as he could screaming the whole way when he saw the big, scary dragon pop out the top!!

Oh yeah, we walked like 5 miles to the M&M store in Vegas. with 1 umbrella stroller. We took the bus back.

This kid was not meant to live his life in a stroller or carseat. But he was meant to have shoes. Fat feet to the extreme.

How could you not resist taking a snap shot by sponge bob. Why do they like that guy so much?
