San Diego November 2012

We took a trip to San Diego to visit Johnny's parents over the Thanksgiving break.  We drove down and so we stayed in Vegas on the way there and on the way back.  This was Kallen's first time in Vegas.  He loved all the lights.  We stayed at Circus Circus on the way down it is at the north end of the strip.  We wanted to walk the strip and ended up walking all the way to the M & M Store, about 3.5 miles.  Kallen was a trooper and walked the entire way there.  He got a piggy back ride for most of the trek back but was still a trooper.

 

While we were in town my friend Meagan from grad school was in Vegas getting married so we were able to meet up with her.

The three of us went to Sea Port Village and walked around.

 

 

The next day we drove to LA to take Johnny's sister to Chinatown.

On Thanksgiving we went back to Seaport Village to take Johnny's sister there.  She had never been there.  We also took the Ferry across the bay to Coronado.  Kallen was able to play in the sand a little bit.

 Some family pictures.

 

 

 On our way back to Utah we stayed in Vegas again at the Plaza, right on the end of Freemont St.  Kallen enjoyed all the "mascots" hanging around and enjoyed the light show on the big screen.  We also had $.99 hot dogs.  Kallen actually took a couple of the light show pictures.  He takes really good pictures on my phone but this trip was the first time he used a real camera.

 

 

 

 

Random Photos

Here are some random photos from the last month.

Kallen got to hang out at volleyball while I played and he thought it was funny to put on all my clothes.

 

Cuddling on the couch with Hobie.

Showing me the snowman that he made all by himself.  It was a gift from my friends Jan and Brock.

Hobie playing int he snow!

Kallen shoveling snow with his new snow shovel.  This was about the only snow he shoveled.

The two giant snowmen we built.  Not the most round snowmen I have ever seen.  We also don't have good rocks for the face because they are white and don't show up so we didn't even bother with the face.  Kallen just had fun making the giant balls.

After he was done he knocked them both down.

We had some discount tickets to Hollywood Connect that needed to be used by the end of December.  Since we are heading to Oregon it only left a couple of weeks to go so we went this last Sunday.  We love showing up when they open and have the place almost to ourselves.  We tried roller skating and it was harder than I thought it would be for Kallen.  It only lasted about 10 minutes.  They had these pvc pipe tri-pod thing on wheels that would have helped but we refused to pay $4 for the rental.  I took one lap around the rink for good memories down Skate Palace lane.
