California

I usually call California, Cali. I was told by someone who is not a Cali native that natives do not call it Cali and that I should get with the times. Pishaw. I think Cali sounds so much cooler.

Ashley and Elyse were inseparable the whole time.

Sick.

Sea World. Click on the picture to get the full effect, it was priceless.

Levi just decided that he wanted to roll down the slight incline, yeah that didn't work out too well for him.

Levi and Naidya are a year apart. They sort of got along.

The kids worked so hard to build this little fort. And that shovel was almost the end of a few of the cousins so we had to put it away.

The weather was nice but definitely not warm enough to go in the water. Thankfully they had a lovely hot tub where I spent a lot of my time.

Can's sister Jenny and Ashley.

Can's parents Debbie and Gordon.

Yes we actually saw someone walking a duck.

We couldn't resist renting this thing, I told everyone to look cool and Elyse was the only one who complied. As per usual....Cannon was too cool.

I am so proud of my little Harry Potter fanatic. She is finally on book 7! She started the books around Christmas time and in the past 5 days has read over 300 pages of the last book, so I imagine she will be done soon. Hallelujah, sing praises. The name Harry Potter, Ron, Hermione and the like shall be banned from the house henceforth and forever. Amen.
