Best Daddy Ever

Dennis made pancakes for breakfast and made a Mickey Mouse pancake for Andrew (only).  Andrew was so excited and knew what it was even when it was still in the pan cooking.

Pacific Beach

The kids love the beach.  Today a more sunny and more busy.  The older guys went boogie boarding while Andrew and I hung out at the waters' edge. 

I think the boys were worn out by this trip.  I think it's funny how Daniel is using Andrew as a pillow.

Sea World Again

Daniel wanted to sit close for Shamu's show to get wet.  And boy did we get wet.  Dennis and the two littles preferred to stay dry.  they sat up high.

 Waiting for the boys to pass by on their ride.

 Andrew and I went to a Pet Show while the other boys went on a ride.

 Of course, we need to see the sea lion show.  Boys, not so impressed.

 The kids' favorite spot was the Sesame Street area.  Lots of climbing and running and fun kids things to do.  Made me a little nervous,  I apparently have control issues.

Mission Beach

Dennis had a great time with the boys since they were finally old enough to go out boogie boarding. 

 Andrew and I stayed close to the umbrella

 For the most part Justin & Andrew played right by the umbrella so I didn't have to go out into the sun.

 It was an overcast day.  Justin got pretty chilli and refused to come out of the towel for a picture.

After the Zoo we hit up Mission Beach to catch the sunset.  The only problem was were the clouds.  But the kids had a blast.

 Our friend Mr. Crab

 Yep, they all went home wet.

San Diego Zoo

This is the place that Daniel had to come too.  The one place he says he remembers about living in San Diego.  We spent the first several hours without Dennis and he joined us when his hearings were over.

 We had to see the giraffes for Justin. 

 Such a cutie

 This panda was actually very active.  I don't think I have seen one move so much.

 Justin trying to figure out where to go.  We had been trying to get to the elephants but I can't read a map and every way I went the zoo was redoing.

 We finally made it to the elephants

 Daniel loves elephants

So it was feeding time for the California Condors.  The keepers put the dead rodents right in front of the boys.  We gave up waiting for them to come and get them.  So gross.

 We saw giraffes and zebras AGAIN.

 Andrew loves zebras.

 Took the bus tour

 Reptiles

 Petting Zoo

Justin refused to go in.  He is not a touchy kind of person.

 We made the kids go on the skyfari

Daniel, not a fan

 Better on the way back but still not a fan

Sea World Day 1

This kid is sad because he could not go on the ride.

 This was Justin's first real ride. 

 And he LOVED it.

 Waiting for the older boys to be done.

 They even have a video game at sea world.  The boys could not resist.

 We hit up a show to rest our feet.  Not the boys favorite.

 Justin was not tall enough for this ride.  They are hoping to see Daddy and Daniel go by.

 Sea World doesn't have too many rides but these kids loved them.  Nice and wet.

 Daniel and Andrew loved touching the animals in the tide-pools.  Justin refused.

 In the front Sea World they had the fish that eat dead skin.  Can you say weird!

San Diego Vacation

Dennis had some hearing in San Diego so we tagged along to have some fun.  The first day Dennis had a few hearings so we hung around the hotel.  Pool day.

Kid after my own heart.  Andrew helped me make brownies.  I think he forgot to wipe the evidence off his face.

06 04 2015

We celebrated Daniel's birthday a few days early since he was going to be at his Grandma & Grandpa's house for his birthday.  Daniel is growing way too fast.  Daniel is one stubborn kid (like all the Evans boys) but such a good kid.  Daniel is a pleaser and loves to help.  His favorite books are Captain Underpants (such a boys book) and The Magic Treehouse books.  His favorite primary song is I Love to See the Temple and has been for a long time.  Daniel loves the gospel and can't wait until his baptism date.  Daniel also loves Minecraft and now is into Pokémon.  Love this kid so much.

 Daniel has been wanting Pokémon cards so bad.  He was very excited to get them.  He wanted them so bad that he asked the Tooth Fairy for some instead of money.

 Poor kid got a plain ice cream cake.  No worries, his Grandma made him an awesome Pokémon cake on his actual birthday.
