Spring Break in San Diego!!!

We decided rather spontaneously to head to San Diego for the kids Spring Break. We weren't sure we would go any where, but thought that some warm weather was just what we needed! It wasn't warm when we arrived on Tuesday...or really warm on Wednesday...but it got better and better! Besides, it was SNOWING at home! Anything is better than that in April!!

Here is the view from our hotel room in San Diego... The Hyatt Regency Mission Bay

The Marina... the palm trees on the grounds...

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15th,... we are ready for a fun filled day at Sea World! As you can see by the parking lot... it wasn't very busy... which was GREAT!!!!!!

The girls inside the park... ready for a day of fun!

The Beluga Whale Exhibit.... Kenna's favorite!

Our future Marine Biologist... Little did she know when I took this picture that the next day she would be in there with them ....

Yikes... need I say more?....

Courtney talked Dan into a churro... this kid eats NON-STOP! Where does it all go?????

McKenna and Courtney with the Dolphin Discovery Cove behind them... they did a "Spring Into Night" Show the week we were there.... this ended up being our favorite show... and it was at night! Really COOL!

This was the "Shamu Rocks" show...also a special night show the week we were there. It was cool, but not as cool as the Dolphin show....

THURSDAY, APRIL 16th, Dan's Birthday.... Courtney was thrilled for the sunshine and warmth... Like mother, Like Daughter... She and Dan getting ready to "swim with the Dolphins"... Here she is FREEZING to death... lucky for her, McKenna was off getting her a cup of hot cocoa! As she eloquently put it... she has no "meat on her bones!"McKenna with her new best friend! A Beluga Whale!!!! She couldn't believe it! She also got to interact behind the scenes with a Walrus and from a safe distance, the Polar Bears. It just LOVED splashing McKenna! Seriously, it loved playing with her... and had great aim!Later that day, for Dan's birthday he really wanted to go to the golf course and hit a few buckets of balls, so he took us to the mall across the street and we did a little shopping... How genius were the planners involved in this scenario!? On one side of the street a golf course, the other a mall!! This is Courtney's new boyfriend! His name is "Manny" and he works at the gap!Dan's birthday dinner at a Mexican restaurant nearby... doesn't he look old? Actually he just looks very sunburned and happy!FRIDAY, APRIL 17th.... breakfast before heading to the beach for the day! Our beautiful, happy girls! The beach at Coronado Island, California... our personal favorite! It was amazing!The pool and water slide at our hotel... the girls couldn't get enough of being in or near the water!Ready for dinner... I set up a massage at the spa for Dan for his birthday... and then off to the Red Lobster for dinner! Courtney was disgusted by the crab claws!SATURDAY, APRIL 18th.... ready to head for home.... but one last stop to check out the San Diego, Temple! It was amazing!!!! Next time we will plan on doing a session there for sure!See the resemblance? Courtney wanted a picture of her and her new dolphin puppet (she will be using for her Halloween costume this year as a dolphin trainer!) to send to Camilla! We met up with our neighbors in St. George (They had gone to Phoenix) This is McKenna and Taylor in the pool... Jonah his younger brother is Courtney's other best friend... they had a blast playing in the pool and going out to dinner.SUNDAY, APRIL, 19th....We are ready for the last little bit of our trip... HOME here we come! We had a wonderful trip, but it is always great to get home! We made some wonderful memories this SPRING BREAK!

Easter at the Floyd's

Dan and the girls as we prepared to leave for church on Easter morning....

Me and my beautiful girls... I love Easter!

Here's a closer look at Courtney's hair! She doesn't want to cut it...but HATES having it done everyday...she has a very tender little head... but she was patient and we even got some curls!

She was thrilled with the results! It was totally worth it! Like they always say... beauty is pain! She had to check it all out when we were done in the full legnth mirror in my room. Beautiful!!!!

One more shot for cousin Abi...she wanted you to see it from the front!

Here are a few pictures from the day before.... us coloring eggs...

including her best friend Camilla of course!

The two little peas in a pod... they would have our families move in together if they could!

The finished product... McKenna wanted to put Ocean and Beach designs on them...

And here are a few of the cousins over for an Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday...

We sure missed Austin, Logan, and Abi...and your parents too I guess!

We had a really fun Easter and always enjoy the Annual King Family Egg Hunt... is it possible though, that one of these kids is now legal to drive? We are getting old! Happy Easter!
