Hotel California

 King children LOVE staying in hotels (don't all children?). They are fascinated with the maid service, they love looking through all the drawers and closets, they are overjoyed with the free breakfast, and they squeal in delight at the sight of the swimming pool:



And my favorite.....

For the record, Ben played one of the carnival-style games at the midway in Sea World and WON this cute Sea World bear for his brother. For $5 you get two tries to make an almost impossible basketball shot and if it goes in you win. Let's just say Ben's got some skillz......
The little lion lying on top of Sam was a treasure we got at the Wild Animal Park. Evidently we must collect stuffed animals wherever we go...


And one more random picture, because I only took this one:

We spent one fabulous evening in Old Town San Diego at the Mormon Battallion Visitors Center . If you have never been there, I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place! In the last year or so they have totally redone the entire building to be a sort of museum showcasing the Mormon Battallion and the amazing efforts of these early pioneers. They have this awesome interactive media presentation they do, and at one point they chose GARRETT to play the part of soldier and when they brought out this big gun for him to hold he could barely contain himself. It was such a moving, inspirational evening that all of us enjoyed. Promise me you'll go if you are ever in the area!
