A Day at the Beach

Last week we went to San Deigo for the Marcus and Ashley Neilson’s wedding.  It was crazy and fancy and romantic and whimsical.  I took zero pictures because I was too timid around the paparazzi who’s clicking was in surround sound minute by minute.  Why bother with my cheap point and shoot when there are 20 fancy camera’s all taking the exact same shot?  Here is one I stole of facebook because we are smoking’ hot.

And one of the newly wed because they were pretty cute too.

Next we did The Mormon Battalion Center with the whole Bagley lot.  It was amazing, and excellent for kids.  It was very well done, interactive and informative.  Of course the missionaries were super friendly and it was all free.  I would call it a trip highlight.

We followed that up with a day at Legoland, where the kids had a blast.  Layne couldn’t fathom how they made the logos so big.  I couldn’t fathom the time it took for people to construct so many life size, intricate and detailed replicas of cities and buildings and people.  All in all, if all it were was the Dragon Roller Coaster, the Race Track and Duplo Land, we would have been better off.  It kept the kids busy and entertained though.  They never complained about being tired of walking or hungry or even asked for us to buy them something while we were there.

Finally, a day at the beach.  Mission Beach.  It was covered in sea weed, cloudy and cold, which didn’t put a damper on things at all.

Layne worked on digging a hole to China.

Brik can have fun doing anything, at this particular moment it was running from a wave while holding up his elastic bare hand-me-down swim suit.

Roxwell is obsessed with birds (eww). 

 There were plenty of those around.  

He tried his darnedest to catch one, but they just liked to tease.

Jarom found clams.  Roxwell gave us the idea to eat them.

So we did.

The were really sandy, there must be a way to clean them.
