Fathers Day

For fathers day we loaded up Saturday night and headed down to San Diego. W stayed the night just up the street from the SD temple... I had forgotten how majestic it is at night. Such a beautiful building. One of the highlights of the trip was when we were in the elevator and Katy was carrying the blankets holding her "babies". A mom and her teenage daughters boarded the elevator and the mom commented to her daughters, "what a good idea, the blankets are a carrier. I should have thought of that when you were little, no your dad is an engineer, why didn't he think of it?... It is always entertaining to hear peoples thoughts voiced knowing that others are listening.We went to Sea World and took advantage of the Salute our Heroes program. Having been there a few times before it was nice and relaxing. At the Shamu show Kristy insisted on sitting in the soak zone, so us girls sat down there and the guys sat up in the safety of the higher seats. Brian took a bunch of good shots of the show.
We also saw the Cirque de la Mer which was really cool. Kristy posed with some of the creatures from the show.
We spent most of the day wet trying to dry out. Kristy waited in the soak zone at the Atlantis and got appropriately wet.
Of course we took some time to admire the different marine life throughout the park. Katy wasn't ready to touch anything though.

Kristy went on a ride all by herself, (none of us adults felt like spinning in circles). She was so excited and had a great time.
The girls got to meet Cookie monster. Katy wasn't to comfortable with it. She slowed as Kristy approached and the attendant tryed to make her more comfortable but she wasn't having it.
We got the great family pic with the terrified child as a result...lol.Kristy went on Atlantis with Brian. As soon as the ride started she was crying to be let off. It was a little too late. She dug some pretty good nail marks into Brians arm. As you can barely see her in this pic she was pretty scared. By the time they showed up at the exit she was laughing and having a good time but opted not to go again.
It was a great day!
