Jan. 1:

Surfing and checking out Belmont

Poor Eden wasn't feeling well.

KK and Blakely wanted to go for a walk with Nathan and me to check out the boardwalk. They still had Christmas decorations up.

We found my maiden name on one of the street signs!

Nathan and the kids pictured took surf lessons for four days! I signed up for two days but our second day got cut short due to the waves being too rough. I was hoping Dyer would want to do the last two days but he was upset we weren't going to Hawaii so he was determined to not have fun on this vacation. I guess it worked out because we needed someone to stay with Eden. He was more than happy to do that as long as he got to watch football the whole time! KK had to be in 2 wet suits because it was so cold! Her lips were turning blue and she was shivering so much. My toes were so numb by the end of our first lesson!

This is where she falls on her board.

Poor KK biffed it the last 20 minutes of her lesson and went nose first into her board. Needless to say the board won and KK got a bloody nose.

I was worried that she wouldn't want to go back out the next day but she did! You could tell she was a little timid though.

Blair got a hole in one on the last hole. She got a $5 arcade card.

Jan 3rd:

San Diego Zoo

Poor KK was ready to go. I really wanted to go on the gondola. I mean a trip to San Diego Zoo is not complete without going on the gondola. I figured we would have enough time to ride up and then turn around and ride back. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. We should have been fine but they closed the line down 2 minutes early so we had to walk all the way back. Lame!

On the bright side I was able to have Easton and Blair reenact a picture I took of them probably 13 years earlier. They are such good sports!

Jan 4: Legoland

We were only able to stay for a few hours because we needed to get to the airport for our return trip home.

Eden cracks me up!
