  1. San Diego:The Trip North & The Trip Back

    November 2, 2011 by Monica Sepper

    Now that it is November and our summer trip was back in August, I figured I would go ahead and wrap it up.  After our fun weekend, I headed north with the girls.  We went to stay with my friend Melissa, we have known each other since Kindergarten.  I enjoyed getting to catch up with Melissa and letting our girls play together.  Here are some photos from our fun adventures….

    We took a trip to the pet store.

    The girls spent a lot of time playing and enjoyed eating together.

    Melissa’s husband is a pilot, he let us know they were going to be doing drills.  We took the girls out to the air base to watch the jets, we ended up seeing several fly by.

    We had pizza/movie night.  We made pizzas from scratch and watched Tangled.  Katie Lynn’s new favorite movie.

    All four of our girls hanging out on the couch.

    We even got a picture of the two of us together.

    We finished our visit by taking a trip to the park.  Aren’t they so cute!!

    They are 3 months apart in age.

    These two were 2 peas in a pod.  It was amazing how much they were alike.

    They are just a day apart in age.

    The trip home was very uneventful…thank goodness.  We had a great time.

    We saw a ton of trains throughout the whole trip, the girls would call them out and talk about whose side the train was on.

  2. San Diego: The Zoo

    October 4, 2011 by Monica Sepper

    We ventured to the zoo and it was Amazing!

    We managed to walk almost the entire zoo in the morning.

    The Pandas are a new addition and they were the favorites.  We were able to see them before it got crowded and both pandas were out eating and playing.

    We saw some Koalas.

    Next was the elephants….

    This elephant came right up to eat and walked right in front of us.

    The girls really enjoyed the “big cat”

    Both girls enjoyed the helicopter.

    After we walked almost the whole zoo we took the bus tour.  This took us around the zoo and we were able to see the animals from a different angle.

    Daddy and Karyn.

    Mommy and Katie Lynn.

    After a long, wonderful day at the zoo it was time to head back.  On our way back, we saw this car.  It really moved up and down, we were laughing so hard!

    Girls are ready for bed and so was mommy.  (Daddy got to go out with his bosses)

  3. San Diego: Sea World

    October 2, 2011 by Monica Sepper

    I know it is October and we went in August, time is just flying by.  While on the West coast we went to Sea World.  We had so much fun and all the animals and shows were amazing.

    We headed off to see some of the animals before the shows started.  The girls really enjoyed the penguins.

    Next we went to see the whale and the polar bears.

    Katie Lynn was checking out the prints in the ice.

    Checking out the “turtle”

    Daddy and Katie Lynn hanging out before a show.

    We headed to see the show with the Killer Whales  The girls enjoyed watching them.

    Our second show was the Blue Ocean, I think this was the girls favorite of the day.  There were dolphins, acrobats, flying, swimming, lots and lots of action.

    Off to the next show….

    as we arrived at this show, Karyn had fallen asleep.

    It was warming up so we had a break to eat some ice cream.

    As we started to walk there were some games for kids to play and win prizes.  It was 5 bucks for 2 tries, we figured each girl could get a try.  There were 3 levels of prizes.  You pulled from a set of about 40 strings and it would pull up a colored ball from the bucket, there were a lot of red for the smallest prize, a few blue for the middle prize and then about 3 yellow for the big prize.  You know how it works, they had cute little sesame street characters we figured, cool, they can each win something.  Well, Katie Lynn went first and she pulled her string…she pulled a yellow ball which was the biggest prize.  Awesome…Tom and I look at each other and think, great, Karyn is going to pull and win the small prize.  Yea, Karyn pulled her string and she had also pulled a yellow ball, so she won the biggest prize too!!!  So here the girls are with their prizes….they were excited.

    Off to the next show, this was a comic show and the girls were laughing at the seal, walrus and otter.

    At the end of the day we headed back to the penguin hut to get the girls a shirt.  Karyn was very tired at this point so she just dropped down right in the middle of the store, everyone was cracking up. She is so funny.

    We made it back to the hotel.

    We had dinner at the In-and-Out Burger in San Diego.  A couple opened up around us in Texas but we decided to try it out while we were in California.  Karyn decided she wanted to drink my soda.
