California

We went to California for a week with Barrett's family and had a lot of fun. Barrett's brother Lincoln just got home from his mission so it was fun to all be together again. Barrett's other brother Clayton got married the day before we left so he and his wife Katie met up with us after a couple of days. We did LegoLand, SeaWorld and spend a lot of time just hanging out on the beach.

Barrett and all of his siblings

All of us (minus Kylie who is taking the picture) hanging out

Legoland



Luke loved this ride

SeaWorld
Luke thought this was Bruce from Finding Nemo
More Bruce

He loved every minute of SeaWorld


Luke LOVED the dolphins, he could have sat and watched them all day
Barrett catching a wave
We had quite a scare while we were there. Barrett and I ran to get a smoothie and while we were gone Luke pushed out the screen on the window and fell about 10 feet down to the next. Getting that phone call was the scariest moment of being a parent for sure. It ended up that Luke was just fine after some crying and motrin. He actually started limping a day or two ago so we took him to get x-rays just to make sure everything is okay. Nothing is broken, the doctor thinks his hip and leg are just bruised and sore. We are sure grateful that Luke is okay and nothing serious happened to him, it makes me sick to think about what could have happened. We definitely count it as a miracle. Below is a picture of the window he fell out of and where he landed on the deck.
Luke's favorite activity was playing buckets in this sand box. He was out there anytime he could get someone to play with him.
Fun times!

That drop looks awful! I'm so glad he's o.k.

Ruby's on the Pier -- that's got to be Oceanside, right? Unless they have others. We stay a few blocks away from that pier every time we go. And Sea World! Love that place. :)
