San Diego/4th of July!

I'm a little behind on my blogging but we have been having a busy summer with one little trip after another that now I have to break up my blogs to get it all posted. The week before the 4th of July most of my family all went to San Diego for the week to play on the beach, go to Sea World and relax. It was so fun to have all 7 of the cousins together, Evelyn loved playing with them all. First day in San Diego we went to Sea World. It was really fun, I haven't been there in a long time so it was awesome to take Evelyn and see her really enjoy seeing all the animals and all the shows.
The dolphin show, always a classic.
The best show is of course Shamu. The animals really are amazing to watch, though I do get a little creeped out when the trainers just jump in the water with these huge whales.

All the cousins had a fun time running around and being with each other.
In order (Zach, Chloe, Olivia, Juliet, Evelyn, Grace, Ricky)

Showing me she's 2.
Here's my niece Olivia, she really wanted to go on this ride so I waited in line with her.
It was a long day of walking around and enjoying the shows, so before we left we let the kids play in the splash pad Sea World has. Evelyn loved standing right on the hole and waiting for the fountain to squirt up.


She was shivering so much cause it got a little cold, so I let her wear my sweater.

Another little pose of hers.
For the 4th of July we were all at my parents house and hung out and later watched 3 different fireworks shows from my parents backyard. The cousins posing for a cute holiday picture.
Here's my sweet little girl. A popsicle was being held behind my head and when she smiled for me she would get the popsicle, boy did that work.
