Behind the scenes at Sea World!

Here's the short version of the long story- Sarah's BFF, Lindsay, asked her friend, Mike, if he would show us all around behind the scenes at Sea World. Mike is a researcher there and has full access to pretty much everywhere. We saw, and interacted with, Beluga whales, dolphins, baby sea turtles, a pilot whale, a walrus, bamboo sharks, a fur seal, a HUGE polar bear, and the list goes on. It was completely EPIC! Here are some pictures and a video:

Cold Day at the Beach and Random Photos

Our family day at La Jolla Shores turned out to be a cold one. Being the stalwart family that we are, we found a way get to the beach, set up our stuff and then gripe all day long. What can I say... we're troopers. Actually, all things considered, we had a good time, but we're hoping for better weather and warmer water next time. Also pictured are the surfboard racks Ced built out on the porch which he's really proud of, and a picture of Scout and Baxter being cute. Also, Sarah got to go up to Burbank and ride some Olympic caliber horses right down the road from Warner Brothers Studios. Very cool stuff.

Life in San Diego

San Diego has been good to us so far. It's taking a little while to get used to the obvious differences between Utah Valley and San Diego (especially since we live right by the gay district... not "happy" gay... gay gay). As the photos below will tell you, we've been having a blast while getting settled. Scout has been learning how to surf, and also got her nails painted by the fabulous Lindsay Danger (Sarah's BFF). Some super-buddies (Adam Davis and his lovely lady, Angie) came down from Redondo Beach to help us move in our stuff, and Baxter is continuing to be cute. We also got a zoo pass and have gone a few times (not pictured) and have gone to Balboa Park many times (not pictured) and Cedric won a muscle contest at a local beach (also not pictured). Cool... we'll keep you posted on new happenings as they are happening.
