We decided to take one last trip to San Diego before I started
work again. Of course Mia didn't mind seeing the beach again.
This is how goofy she was acting the first night we
were there...
really??
Off to Legoland! Mia was probably the only kid who knew
how to drive the car and she took it very seriously!
look close and you will see her game face!
With dad on the helicopter...
fun boat ride
of course the horse
And then she decided she was going to ride all the roller
coasters to our shock. She went on a little one at the Orange
County Fair with her cousin Scott and I think it jump started her adventure side!
She's 42 inches now so she could do them all... kind of scary!
Airplane ride
lots of waiting in lines
and then the big one! I think she thought what did I get myself
into on this one...
look at this one close up, totally crying but then laughing at the end!
safe and boring boat ride
another roller coaster ride!
and she loved it!
they have a really neat aquarium attached to Legoland
Mia loved the aquarium, she just loves all creatures of the earth
The next day we tried the Animal Safari Park instead of the
San Diego Zoo. We made the mistake of giving her a map.
Ohhhh boy! She was directing us everywhere and what was
really scary is that she knew exactly where we were at all times
and would tell us to turn left or right. She definitely didn't get that from her mom.
Geography is not my strong suit!
These lions and tigers loved this car, it was too cute
We got to go on this safari ride around the whole park and that was
a lot of fun.
Dad and Mia at the zoo.
Mia as a bat, she was very excited that there were bats there.
We both love bats!
off to the petting zoo
they gave out little brushes so they could brush the animals too.
this was the best part, these rainbow parrots. You could get
some sugar in a cup and they would actually climb on your hand!
Of course she absolutely loved it!
they even had a fun merry go round at the zoo!
she wanted a picture of this bird because he looks like
Blue from Rio.
We met my sister Bre and the kids at the beach before we left
I got to hold cute little Kyse
All smiles
And then he puked all over me. Of course Rick was taking
pictures instead of helping. Thanks!
Laith and Mia goofing off
Cute pics of my love bug. She's so funny, we were at a glasses
store and she got to see herself in the mirror up close. She says, "Mom you are right, I do
have freckles on my face." So cute! She has been a blast this summer!
Rick and the kids
beach bum
We had a great little trip as a family. It was fun to see
Mia have such a blast. She's so funny and smart. She cracks us
up constantly. I asked her to do something and she said, "Mom I can't
do this my entire life!" So dramatic :)
before we left it was raining, so right when she woke up
she took off her pjs, stood there naked, grabbed her raincoat and boots
and headed out the door to jump in puddles!
love this pic
And this one.
I actually caught Mia in my shower singing and dancing to No Doubt
Holla Back Girl with a spoon as her microphone. It was soooo funny.
I secretly video taped it and may use it later on with her future husband or
some kind of embarassment. I didn't even know that she knew the words to that
song. Too cute!
