Little Miss is potty trained

About 3 weeks ago, my littlest just told me that she was going to wear panties! And that is exactly what she did (of course, 3 days before we took a 6 hour drive to see family)! I don't know if it is a girl thing or a 3rd child thing, but this was by far the easiest potty training ever. It only took a little bit of candy and her first chance to chew gum as a bribing method to complete the process. She has had very few accidents over the last 3 weeks and is extremely proud of herself. I am also proud of her and so happy to be done with diapers!!! Yippee!

Coronado Island

Our final day in San Diego was spent enjoying Coronado Island. We took a bike ride, had ice cream and walked along the water. Perfect ending to a wonderful vacation.

Sea World

The very beginning of our day at Sea World, D and I went on a ride. Big Mistake. It's starts with a big dropoff and then a dark area where the ride really shakes. The whole rest of the ride the pale boy beside me just kept yelling, "I'm going to die!". Poor boy, we didn't go on anymore roller coasters after that.
The highlight of Sea World for the kiddos was definitely getting soaked sitting in the front row of the Shamu Show.
Another highlight was the Sea Lion show with Biff. He was the funny guy at the beginning of the show that got everyone laughing by doing silly stunts and songs. The kids thought he was hilarious. O still does his little stunt at home.

LEGOLAND

The boys were in a show and little sister didn't quite make it up on stage. She got a bit scared when the bad guy came out and the loud music started!
O's boat didn't quite work, so we all waited while he was stuck on the ride getting some HELP!
What a fun vacation we had visiting Legoland. The boys had fun seeing all the big lego creations and being able to build some of their own. I really enjoyed miniland! The big red dragon was one of D's favorites. Just a blast!

Olympic Training Center-San Diego

We had a great time visiting the Olympic Training Center in San Diego. They have a huge facility and it was fun to see where the athletes train. There is no public funding, so the entire facility runs on donations. Amazing. And, the visit was free.
