Cousins!

We had lots of family in town over Spring Break! Nicki and her family came and stayed with us, and Will's Uncle Rick and Elaine were also in town with cousins Dave and Jen and their kids. It was the Hap Hap Happiest time of all! We spent two days at Disneyland and one day at Sea World (we got to meet up with the The Ross family at Sea World). We sat out the day that they visited California Adventure. Liam and his very pregnant mom were tired! Liam loved having his big cousins around, and I think they kinda liked him too :)What do you want to do today kids? Get in a line, get in a line!
The Buzz Lightyear ride is a big favorite of all who dare to face Emperor Zerg and his minions.
Everyone loved the Blue Horizons show at Sea World. It has dolphins, a whale, swinging acrobats and amazing divers. My favorite part was when the trainers surfed on top of two of the dolphins around the tank. So much fun! I am thinking that my original aspiration of being a dolphin trainer might have really been the way to go!
Who's that cool guy?
"Let me see that map Dad, I think we should have turned left at the shark tank..."
Will is so patient!
Liam loves Turtle Reef. It is impossible to get a good picture in there, but there are dozens of turtles in there of every size. I think he would spend an hour just watching and pointing them out to us.
On Thursday, Paityn started her day at the Bippidy Boppidy Boutique. They do a whole princess make-over, including hair, make-up, nails, and oh yeah, GLITTER! She was the prettiest of all the princesses in the park.
I insisted that we ride Casey's Train, which ended up being kind of a dud, but Liam liked it because it was a choo choo.

Liam and Lily playing their version of the fishing game. Unfortunately this is the only picture I have of Liam with his Ross cousins. We had a great time seeing them. Their boys are so big and grown up now, and such good big brothers too! We had such a wonderful week with everyone. Come back soon so that we can do it again!
