California

We drove to Laguna Beach and Sea World for our last vacation as a family of 3. It was so much fun! We left on Friday morning and came back Saturday night, so it was very quick but very worth it. Everything is so much better through the eyes of a 2 year old! Jared and I both re-discovered the beach and the wonders of Sea World. However, I don't know if I recommend walking around for 6 hours straight while being 8 months pregnant! Oh well, I wouldn't have traded it for anything.Thank goodness for technology! This was on our way to Laguna. He was so excited to have his own little tv!

My boys watching the sunset. I really wish we could have stayed there for a whole day.

Brody and I strolling along, looking for shells. Notice the waddle form I have perfected this pregnancy!
And the infamous "cheese-ball!" Of course we couldn't leave without this classic shot!

We saw the flamingos when we first entered Sea World. Brody was so amazed! I couldn't believe how close he got to them!

Here we are feeding the dolphins. I think this was Brody's favorite part, getting to throw fish in the dolphins' mouths!

Yes, we caved and paid $20 for 3 pictures! But we thought they were very worth it!

Forget the stroller! Brody had Dad to ride on! He was such a trooper, either on shoulders or trucking it on his own the entire day.

Brody wasn't too sure of the Shark Habitat. When he gets nervous or scared, he puts his finger in his mouth, so this is what he looked like while walking through the sharks.

I love this picture because it looks like we are touching Shamu!

The Tide Pool is one of my favorites. I love that you can get in there and actually touch the starfish. I was so excited that Brody was as into it as I was!

He was so soft and gentle with them. We watched other kids just chuck the starfish back in the water!

Here's Brody holding one "all by himself." He was so proud!

This was Brody about 5 minutes after leaving Sea World!! We had such a great time!
