California (part 1)

We just got back from a great vacation in California with my brother Lant and my parents.  We did a lot of fun things and a lot of relaxing and hanging out on the beach. Glad we got to spend time with them and time together.  Joe was saying how much he loved spending time with Hayes because he feels like he misses so much during the day and he is growing up so fast. It will probably have been our last vacation for a while so we soaked it up! (Disclaimer: all photos were taken with the iphone, thus not the greatest quality but so much more convenient.)

Day 1 and 2:  Ocean side Beach and San Diego Zoo

Cute little beach bum.

Testing out the water.

Hayes would run to the water, throw in his rock, and run away before the wave came :)

Uncle Lant showing Hayes sand crabs.

Walking along the beach with Hayes.

Had to get a jumping picture on the beach right? Hurry before Hayes comes! Getting so sloppy with my arms :)

All ready for a day at the zoo.

Trolley ride.

Hayes and Lant the Lion.

Such a handsome little fella :)

4D Ice Age Movie with bampa.... Hayes was so scared he started crying when the dinosaur sneezed and mist came at us.
He and I had to leave a little early :)

Sometimes we make Hayes do poses like this. Such a cutie :)

I think Hayes's favorite part of the zoo was the playground.

Luckily the zoo is pretty shaded so we didn't die of heat!

Hayes made a friend.

Petting the goats.

I love this!
