Ava loves to pose like this!! I think we may have a little Diva on our hands ;) 
This was too funny in person!! They were so excited to see the water so they kept getting closer and it finally came up and swept them away :)
We thought our toes looked cute ;)
Jade, seriously the cutest girl ever!!
Michael and Matt!! Too bad I was prego with Jaker boy, that looked like so much fun :)
Makayla could just watch the water all day!!
Little Matt! Big Matt's boy!!!
Matt and Michael headin out to catch some waves!!
Matt and Michael goin snorkeling at La Jolla Cove!! They said it was really cool!
Makayla and Jade were best friends the whole time we were there!!
SHAMU is coming!!!
Poor thing, she was so scared!!
K, so Ava saw this ride as we were coming into the park for the first time and she was dying to ride it and Michael was dying to take her :) So they get up there and they measure her and she is about 2 in. too short so Michael stretches her til her head almost pops off and she was still an inch too short but the lady saw how excited she was and let her in anyway!! So the are on the ride and they are going up really slow and it get s to the top and it has a small drop and Ava did NOT expect that, she was so scared Michael said. So they start to up slow again and this was the big one and she tried to put her head down but Michael being the teaser that he is, held her head up the whole time, she said she was scared but she totally wanted to do it again!
So, we have never gone on a vacation, ever! And we had the summer off this past year so we decided that we were gonna go to California. We were all super excited!! We stopped in Las Vegas on the way down and back and the girls loved seeing the lights! Instead of staying in a hotel out there we stayed with Michael's old Marine buddy and his family! They were awesome and they showed us a great time while we were there. We definitely can't wait to go back soon , we will do Disneyland next time!!
So these are not great pictures by any means but there were so many distractions that this was the best I could get. It didn't help that Makayla did not feel like having her picture taken either, she kept running from the camera ;) Their recital was too cute, I will have to upload a video soon. Ava did so great. It was funny, she was trying so hard to get it right and not mess up that she had a hard time remembering to smile, but that is ok cause she remembered all of her moves :) Makayla on the other hand got up on stage and just froze, but she looked beautiful doing it ;) Loves me some of my girls!!
