A California Vacation!!!

This is going to be a long one!!! But I really don't want to forget ANYTHING from this amazing trip. The Sellers Family all traveled (yep, it was a roadtrip for us) to San Diego for a week of fun in the sun! The girls all did FABULOUS in the car which we were so grateful for. We were able to go to the San Diego Zoo, Disneyland & Sea World, with a beach/pool day splitting up each of them. Unfortunately, Tammy's family of 4 couldn't make it with a brand new baby, and they were missed...but the remaining 17 of us all stayed at the Oceanside WorldMark and really enjoyed our time together.

San Diego Zoo










Disneyland
*Highlights*
- Mom made sure we ALL had red shirts so we wouldn't get lost :)
- My 3 girls were scared during the dark Fantasy Land rides, but once each ride ended, the were pumped about it! Go figure
- C & B were big girls and went on the Matterhorn!
- Grandpa fell asleep in the grass while we rode 'Small World'. We couldn't find him for a few minutes once we got off the ride and the grandkids thought it was hilarious to find like that.
- B rode Splash Mountain with me while Camryn and Nic went on Winnie the Pooh. We've been listening to the two of them compare their rides and try to explain them ever since. It's actually quite funny. I finally got on youtube of found video footage of the rides for the two of them to watch. They're in HEAVEN and are enjoying re-living every ride they went on while sitting at the computer.
- The twins put on their princess dresses for a while so they could meet the princesses in the correct attire. After finding out it would take an hour to get through the line, the decided they'd rather go on rides. HURRAY!! Don't worry though, we still lifted them up so they could see the princesses over the fence.
- Kendyl was awesome. She went on rides, chilled in her stroller and even took a little nap (which she somehow did at each park we went to). LOVE HER!
- They were all exhausted at the end of the day and fell asleep within minutes of getting in the car. My 3 little princesses...too cute for me to handle sometimes.


























Sea World
*Highlights*
- Shamu didn't eat anyone...I complained and got a full refund ;)
- Brooklyn was the navigator with the map in her hands more often than not. She was very serious about it....and very cute.
- Our mini-mama Camryn pushed Averi (cousin who's a year younger) around in her stroller for nearly an hour. She'll be the best babysitter on the planet. Do people hire 3 year olds?
- All the kids LOVED the little Sesame Street 3D movie. They couldn't believe they actually got wet in the theater!













Beach/Pool Days
*Highlights*
- Kendyl hasn't progressed much since our Hawaii trips last summer. She continued eating sand by the fists full.
- Their suits have all been sand-i-fied. Totally wrecked. They REALLY like sand.
- The kiddos collected their body weight in sea shells.
- They had tons of fun digging in the sand, making castles and running from the waves. Oh how I wish I lived by the beach.


















The next pictures are random. The first one is the girls on our long car ride. They had new toys to play with and tons of movie to watch- they were thoroughly entertained. The next pictres are the girls with one of the daily toys Grandma gave all the grandkids. What an AWESOME grandma!!
