Abby was so exctied to go visit pixie hollow. She still talks about it.
We had a hard time finding a place to take a picture. There were people walking everywhere!!!!
Peyton loved Mickey. He couldn't take his eyes off him.
Uncle Kyle is so good. He got right in and played with the kids. He and Peyton built this cool sand castle. 
There was a school of dolphins that kept swimming along the beach. They were way close and I being the tourist I was-- started getting really excited and pointing them out. Other people just looked at me like I was a stupid tourist. Then some other people noticed too and finally there were tons of people standing by the water pointing. I felt vindicated!! I couldn't believe how close they got to the shore, but it was really fun to watch.
The kids were pretty happy just playing in the sand. The surf was really big and rough. It would have knocked the kids over and swept them away. So I was glad they were happy without getting in.
The kids play together so well on the beach. I wish they could get along that good all the time.
Before we left, Stockton and I went over to some tide pools and let some kind of plant things close around our fingers. I think they might have been sea urchins, but I could be totally wrong on the name. It was lots of fun. It makes me wish we lived a little closer to the beach.
Here we are leaving. They were tired and Abby was pouting about something, but it was a super fun day.
Kyle was taking Peyton for a horsey ride since he couldn't ride the real ride with the other kids.
Peyton and Abby were too little to ride the ride in the picture below, but they had little controls to make these explosions in the water and get us all wet.
Our first ride at Legoland. It was fun and wet!!
Bob the builder had a presence and Legoland. We got some pictures with the real thing later in the day.
Can you tell they are brothers? I'm not sure.
This ride was so fun. The kids loved it.
After that they took us to see the park we went to see the Redlands Temple. It was super pretty. It was closed, but we walked around and enjoyed the landscaping. Stockton saw a blue lizard in the parking lot and that was his favorite part of the trip (even better than Disneyland or Legoland). It was that magic sunset time when the lighting is awesome and I had lots of fun with the light and the fence. What can I say I am easily amused.
If I ever find some more spare minutes, I will post the rest of our trip. Hopefully soon..... 
I have walked past this fire hydrant alot. It is kind of random out here in the weeds. And for the past year or so I thought it would be fun to take some pics with it. I thought it would go so cute with the red in her dress.
I should have used my flash to make some fill light so that Abby's face is more clear here, but it is fun to know that I have forever and a willing model to keep practicing. 
Our crew at the baptism. We are lucky to have such a great family who always support us in everything we do. I am grateful to Andy's brothers and their wives for all the fun they make for our kids and always playing with them. And of course for the super wonderful grandma and grandpa!!!
Stockton and Maizey have played together since they were babies. Their birthdays are just 4 days apart. It was fun to have her get baptized on the same day.
For Stock's Birthday, we invited over all the boys in the neighborhood and a couple of school friends. He wanted to have and "army" party. We started out making paper airplanes which was a big hit. Then we shot nerf guns at targets and finished with a game of I spy with things I had hidden around the yard. This was the first party I have ever done where I felt like the kids were engaged and liked the games the whole time.
They raced all around the house with their airplanes.
The tank cake. Who knew homemade black frosting would really work?
