The San Diego Zoo

the san diego zoo was amazing, especially for trey who loves loves loves all animals! while it is wonderful, it is very STEEP...we were literally climbing, what felt like to this 30 week+ pregnant momma, the side of a mountain! it is built in such a way that you almost feel like you are inside a rainforest...truly a fascinating place. Trey's absolute favorite were the hippopotamus. It is so cute to hear him say the name. I have never seen hippos swim but they were so cute and quite playful. we stayed looking at them for at least 3o minutes. trey kept telling them to either open or close their mouthes...it was funny.


daddy and trey posing...

love how trey is looking at her so intently. he is on his best behavior and was listening to her directions and being so still....he wanted his face painted but we decided to each have our hands done and made into an animal...i'm having it framed now...turned out sooo cute! trey was a hippo, i was a lioness, michael was a monkey. sweet keepake.






more of my butterflies :)

the hippo....

















here is trey holding a map of the zoo. he loves "maps" and held onto this looking at and telling us where to go, "that way" or "hold on i'm thinking, ok that way" we got it on video and it is funny.

the tram we rode with a great scenic view of the zoo

Legoland

Legoland was a neat experience...and fun just to be together...however, trey was really too young to do most of the activities and he was quite overwhelmed with all the people and the animations. Plus, our little guy loves his "routine" so the two hour time difference in CA really impacted him. These pictures were taken the first day we arrived, it is 10am, but really 12 noon, Trey's time and he is ready for his nap! :) The plane ride over was, well, "busy" to say the least as the seat belt around trey didn't hold him in AT ALL...he slipped right out. A mom sitting behind us told about thecaresystem and we are def. going to purchase this for future travels :) However, practice makes perfect and the trip home was much smoother sailing!




recently, trey has become in love with "tunnels" due to his love of Thomas the Train....

daddy and trey checking out Laguana Beach...way too chilly to get in!

San Diego Bound!

For Easter this year we took our First Family Vacation, just us 3 to San Diego, CA. Trey enjoyed Legoland, but he absolutely loved the San Diego ZOO which was truly a fabulous adventure.
This video was taken just before our departure...he was so fascinated with all the airplanes. It will be a trip to remember, as we will not be a family of 3 for much longer :)

Bubble Bath

Trying to Capture an "Easter" picture

Looking at an Easter book...

this bubble blower is the best :) our friend, Mabry and her Mommy, told us about it and its quickly become a "go to" tool for entertainment esp. when we are on the go!!!
