4th of July and the beach...

So I feel like I have officially become a slacker on blogging. Life has been so busy (in a fun way) and every night I'm just too tired to post anything! But, I decided tonight I will finally do a post...but be ready...its a long one!
We spent the fourth of July at Sea World with my parents! My husband and I haven't been there since we were little kids (and we didn't remember anything about it either) so we were quite excited to go! We met up with my parents Saturday morning and had a blast! We were hoping that it wouldn't be too busy, which is a crazy thought since it was a holiday, but it honestly didn't feel too crowded at all! I guess we are used to the Disneyland crowds! Hailee also LOVED it there! We went to the dolphin, pet and Shamu show, we saw all kinds of animals, tide pools and we went on all of the rides! They were a blast! We were soaking wet most of the day from the rides and the shows, but it felt soo good! The shows were pretty amazing. Here's the cheesy part of me now.... while watching the shows, you seriously fall in love with the animals! It is just so amazing to see how the trainers and animals work together and respect and love each other! It makes you (well it made me!) want to become a trainer with them! Anyways, we are so excited that we now have season passes there and can't wait to go back! Thanks Mom and Dad for a great day!

When we first got to the park Hailee was unsure about everything...especially this huge walrus thing!

This past Friday, July 10th we went down to San Clemente beach. It was alot of fun! Hailee wasn't too exited about it at first but by end of the day she warmed up to it and enjoyed playing in the sand. She never got used to the water, but I don't blame her, I hate going in the ocean too! But we did have an enjoyable time and it felt so good to be back by the water and to get the nice beach tan!

How cool that you got passes to Sea World, Amanda and Jessica have them too so you all can have a party. Maybe after I have Brooke I can get one too and we can have mommy day's all together there.
Love the beach pictures too! CUTE!

Oooooooh, I'm jealous you took Hailee to Sea World! Isaac and I were talking about how we want to take Olivia there.
We are going to the San Clemente beach in a couple weeks! Isaac's family rents a beach house and we go stay for a week or so. I hope Olivia likes it (although I'm not getting my hopes too high). Fun pictures!
