California Part 3

Friday- One of our favorite days. We spent the entire day at the San Diego Zoo. It was so much fun to watch Sage girls excitement. The weather of course was perfect and our tickets included unlimited use of the bus and skyfari so we took advantage of that which helped with all the walking; not to mention Sage loved "flying" on the skyfari and loves the bus. Harper was an angel as always. She honestly did not cry once the entire day we dragged her along. She is such a good sport and just so happy. She would look around and when she was hungry she would hold her bottle and look around while she ate and when she was tired she would close her sweet eyes and take a nap in the stroller. We loved our days at the beach, but next year we will reserve a couple more days for San Diego. We picked up something to eat on the way back to Uncle Timmy's house, which Sage took a bite and was fast asleep. We carried her inside and got her ready for bed without her waking up. She did however wake up around midnight hungry. She ate and went right back to sleep. She seemed to love the giraffes the most, especially the baby giraffe, Penelope. However, if you ask her which was her favorite she will say the tiger and growl. 























Saturday- We spent the day with my Uncle Timmy and Aunt and their sweet family celebrating Nathan and Nicholas' birthdays. They are about 11 months apart. Nate just turned two and Nick will be turning one. We went back up to Orange County and stayed with the Sands Saturday night and enjoyed some  late night Sonic shakes.




Sunday- We went to church with the Sands again and then left early to visit Sabina and her little man Marley. My Uncle Danny & Aunt Ivy were also in town so we were also able to see them. Afterwards we went back and hung out with the Sands. We got the kids ready for bed and then hit the road! We were only planning on driving to St. George because the Karrens were nice enough to let us stay in their home there, but we couldn't find the key. We'll blame our stupidity on our exhaustion. We ended up driving the rest of he way home with a couple pit stops to take a few power naps. We got home around 9 am on Monday. We were all exhausted, but it was such a fun trip. We are so blessed with so many good friends and family that are so good to us and who absolutely love & adore our girls.
