San Diego Zoo

The San Diego Zoo was where the action was at today!

(can you spot the not so happy child)

We took the advice of many and rode the bus to see where everything was before we ventured out on our own!

Checking out ALL the animals...

We were lucky enough to see the baby giraffe that was born only 5 days ago!

This cheetah had been living with a family since it was a cub. As it got older it started destroying the family's home, so they asked the zoo if they could take it. The zoo agreed and here it is today. However when they separated it from the family dog, both the cheetah and dog refused to eat and became sad because they missed each other. So the dog has now come to live with the cheetah at the zoo and both are doing well again! 

Having fun with the sea lion!

I'm sure we didn't see it all, but the kids were beat so after 6hrs we headed back to Uncle Jimbos house.

Legoland

Today we ventured off to Lego land

Mackenzie and Lainey had to stop and check out the Lego girls.

Next we headed over to our first ride of the day...

The Lego Technic coaster.

The first round was Steve, Mackenzie and Michael. As we passed by it again on our way out the door they managed to convince Landon to join them and he LOVED it!

Next we headed over to the Beetle Bounce.

The Lost Kingdom Adventure had us helping Indian Jones out :)

My pictures just don't do the miniature Lego towns justice, but it was so neat to see them all made from Lego's!

The boys, and Steve, especially LOVED the miniature Star-wars scenes

Driving school was next on our list.

 The Dragon was the only other "Big" roller coaster at the park. 3 times they rode this one!

And Lainey got to ride the horse while the big kids were on the coaster :)

We ran into Laval on our way out of the park.

As usual the day wouldn't be complete with out a stop at the store.

Lazy day

We had a lazy morning after our 13 hour day at Disneyland yesterday. We ventured out around 12 to head over to Downtown Disney for some lunch and shopping.

We of course had to stop at the Lego store

 Daddy and his girls...

And as if we didn't get enough from Disney last night, we hit up the GIANT Disney store here!

Then went back to Uncle Jimbos house for a little more resting before heading back out to the Pirate Dinner show.

We got settled into our seats and waited for the show.

Little eyes were glued to the show!

The food was fair, but the show made up for it. It had us cheering and hollering :)

Titanic exhibit

On Tuesday we visited the Titanic museum, but due to how fragile the artifacts are, we were unable to take pictures inside the museum.

But we did get a few pictures of ourselves :)

It was a neat museum and it still blows my mind how after so many years several of the items were in the same shape they were when the ship went down. 

They had it set up so you really felt as if you were walking through the hallways, in the grand stair case and down in the boiler room. 

Overall it was a great museum and i'd see it again!
