More vacation pictures

Here are some more pictures from our vacation:

Starting off the day at Sea World



Grandpa, Ava and the horse






In an ice cave with daddy



The polar bear waving hello





Proof that humans aren't the only ones battling obesity.....







Trying to win Ava a prize



Wahoo!!!! He did it!








waiting for the dolphin show to start



Looking at the sharks



Shamu



Ava and her #3 favorite- aunt Mindi. Seriously- sometimes she won't go to anyone but Mindi and Mindi is almost the only person that Ava will go to if I am the one holding her. It is super cute!



Expending some energy running around on the grass





All smiles after a fun day at Sea World :)



Getting ready for the pool- super excited



She loved loved loved it!!


Her first dunk




Seaport village and the cute butterfly balloon- she started popping it like 5 minutes later.




Mom and Ava on the carousel- this was THE LONGEST carousel I have ever been on (not that I have been on that many!) but really, the whole time I was like "this thing is never going to stop!"



We have to watch this one with water because she will try to swim in anything. She loved playing in this fountain



This is Ava's typical face in her carseat. She always jabbers and sings- it's so great



Kari and I on the ship Midway



Luke and I in front of a sweet fighter plane (I think that's what it was anyway)



Ava's first sunburn! I swear I caked the girl in sunscreen, but she still got a little burned. It luckily wasn't too bad and it went away quick.



Ava and Mindi having an important discussion



Playing on the grass at the beach at La Jolla



Mom and Ava after she finished her snack



Chasing the (seagulls!?)



Our little family



Happy birthday uncle Craig!



Sideways, but cute. So tired after a long day of playing



Lighthouse at Point Loma



Playing in the sand on the beach. She didn't like the way it felt on her feet at all!



Family again

Great photos! Looks like you had tons of fun.

Dana said...

Cute pics! Looks like a great time. Our family is planning a trip to sea world this summer. Funny your Ava didn't like the sand because our Ava hated it too when she first felt it at 8 months.

Oh, it looks like you guys had so much fun! What great pictures. I love how your family always goes on such fun trips together. Ava is looking so big and cute.

I think San Diego rates in my top 5 spots for vacationing. Last time we went to Sea World I was pregnant but we still had tons of fun. I love all the photos. Ava is so smiley!

What? We all have separate lives now? It makes me so sad sometimes that we grew up. Maybe that's why God invented Blogs. Thanks for the "humans aren't the only ones..." comment. Hilarious. Remember TAO? Miss you!

Mindi said...

Who has the biggest nose? Yikes!! I love the pics and love being Ava's aunt. I am laughing so hard as the obesity comment.

Amanda P. said...

Those are great pictures! I love all of Ava's clothes, she is so stylin! Of course, as if I could doubt Katy!!

You guys are always doing the funnest things as a family. That is awesome! Looks like lots of fun!

What a fun trip! Sea World is one of my favorites. We used to go there all the time when all my mom's family was out that way, and now it's been forever since I've been. Ava is always so happy. She is such a doll.
