Ready, Set, Splash

Here are some more pictures from the Shamu show. The boys wanted to sit in the "Splash Zone". Not me... so we sat up high and the boys went down and watched the show upfront!

The boys don't look soaking wet as they had dried off a little before I got the last picture. But they loved every minute of it!!

"Believe" - Shamu

Here is some of the pictures from the Shamu show called "Believe". It was totally amazing and I just love watching these magnificent animals interact with their trainers. The story behind this show was captivating.

Penguins!!

I've been in LOVE with penguins since I was 11 years old.. they are my life and there isn't one place in my house that you won't see a penguin somewhere! I love them so much that my whole wedding theme was based around penguins, from the cake topper to the tiara I wore, everything was penguins! :)

So.. when we hit Seaworld, I didn't care if we didn't see anything else but the penguins! This was definitely a highlight of my trip, we were so close we could almost touch them. I was sad that I couldn't get any pictures of them in the Arctic environment, as it was their winter time it was just too dark with my crappy little camera.

I bought this paper at Seaworld. So cute!

I really wish I could have my own penguin as a pet.

Angel's Baseball

One of the things we set up to do before we left was to purchase tickets to an Angel's Baseball game. Four tickets, in right field, cost us $28. Seriously, I can see why Baseball is America's game when it is this cheap to go. Heck, I could guarantee I would become a fan if I could take my family for less than $30. Now, the food on the other hand.. that was ridiculous. It cost us $80 for lunch. No, that isn't a typo... eighty dollars for 3 burgers, 1 chickenstrips, 4 fries, 4 drinks. It was so stinking hot (hottest day of our trip at 92F) .. we had to buy two drinks for everyone.. so food purchases was $100. OUCH!! But it was a nice, relaxing day and the boys and I got to experience something new.

We had one of the security guards take our picture outside of the stadium. The boys even surprised us... they had a chance to run on the bases, but didn't want to stand in line, in the heat, and they decided it that they were hot and ready to head back to the pool. Thank goodness!!

Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty

So here we are.... March is here.. can you believe it??

I'm back to photos from our trip to Southern California. Be on the lookout for more layouts from Disneyland, Anaheim Angels Baseball Game, and SeaWorld. Maybe by the end of the month I'll even be working on our Legoland pictures. You'll have to wait and see!

Here are the pics and autographs from Cinderella and Princess Aurora... Sleeping Beauty to us oldies!!

I absolutely love the picture of Carsyn looking up at Cinderella.... he thought she was pretty cute and was all flustered when she was talking to him. We loved the one on one interaction we got from all of the characters at Goofy's Kitchen!

Here is my project. These pictures were from our trip to San Diego's Sea World last summer. All of this paper is from my stash. The title was glittered using the "Warm" ultra fine glitter, I the camera seems to have picked up the "blue" tones, but "in real life" it is more orange/pink in colour. The font was cut with my Cricut - the Winnie the Pooh Font - Marker.
