Pettit Family Vacation 2

Here we are at the San Diego Animal Park which was really pretty awesome. I felt closer to the animals, and the animals seemed so much more lively. Well, all except for Liam who fell asleep at the end. We tried to wake him up enough for a carousel ride, but he was O-U-T. I was glad that he got to feed the animals in the petting zoo at the beginning of the visit.

We just had a wonderful visit with our family! With seeing Les Mis at Tuachan, playing and shopping in Provo, visiting Grandma and Grandpa Great in San Diego for the Fourth (alternatively names include Great-Ma and Great-Papa, Liam hasn't settled on names for them yet), going to the beach, and the wild animal park our time has been well spent.

It was especially fun to have Aubrey and Aria stay with us though N8 who was busily studying at home was sorely missed. Aubrey and I were amazed at how much better Liam and Aria acted together than they usually do alone, particularly when shopping. Grandma Julie had a lot to do with this too, I'm sure. It's too bad that we live so far apart now that we actually have time to play with each other.

Here's a cute picture of Liam and Aria in the bath. I suppose we can use it as blackmail later.

Liam looked so cute in his Fourth of July outfit. I just wish I'd gotten a picture of him with his Lightning McQueen shoes on too. (They were a gift from Grandma Julie, and Liam LOVES them. Convincing him that he has to wear Sunday shoes to church instead is quite the feat. Pun intended.)

Here's my favorite picture from the beach. It helps that my hindquarters in a bathing suit aren't featured!
