Last few weeks..

It's been a busy few weeks, lots of Sea World time, beach time, park time, and last week into this week we were in Utah for a family reunion. Here's some photos. ;)
Had to snap a photo, Rory and Micah napping. My two sweet guys.

The three of us in Del Mar.


Rory LOVES the beach. The water was no where near warm, but that doesn't seem to phase him. As I stood there with my toes barely touching the water, talking myself out of getting hypothermia, he just jumped right in. Oh to be a kid again.


Sydney on our first leg of our trip to Utah. We stopped in Primm, NV for lunch, and Sydney had decided to smear what was a piece of fruit leather all over her face. Anyways, Rory talked us into McDonald's, but as our luck would have it, precidely two minutes before we pulled intot he parking lot, so did four large buses full of Army recruits that were hankering for some McDonald's. So we decided to skip it. Sorry Ronald.

We stayed overnight in Las Vegas, and decided to cool off from the 108 degree weather by taking a swim. Afterwards, I decided to run the kids a bath, and Micah was ablr to get tis picture opportunity. Two of us could wait to get our swim suits off, one could apparently not.


Rory "doing his business." This was our first day in Utah, and Rory got right down to business.

Sydney hanging out with some of her extended cousins. Anything to keep them contained and entertained!


Micah and his Grandpa Gale. He turns 90 next year, and what a guy!

Me and my wonderful, talented and beautiful sister in law Tara.
What can I say?
Rory painting a picture for Mema Kim.
We had a great little "arroyo" running through camp, and Rory got a kick out of the fact that everyone stuck food/drinks in a dammed area to keep it cold. So I took a photo so he can always and forever remember it.

After a water balloon fight.
All of the kids at the reunion.
Grandpa Gale telling everyone about the "olden" days when he was a kid. We loved hearing about life when people had to wake up and milk cows and do chores first thing in the morning. What a foreign concept.
Rory playing a game that kids would play back when grandpa Gale was young...basically passing a log/stick as fast as they could down a line, trying to beat the other team. Sounds like hours of fun.... ;)
Another game, they would scoop water from one tub to another and try to fill it up faster then the other team. Rory liked this one. There was also another game where he had to use his face to dig through wheat and find candy. That was his favorite, but only because candy was involved.
