Fall Break!

We had a jam packed fall break! On Monday, we went to Scottsdale to jump at AirZone on our Pogo Pass. We invited some friends along, and the kids had a great time! Abby literally thought she was in heaven, she could've jumped all day long!

Our sweet neighbor always gets Abby a cute dress for her birthday. This year it came a little bit later than usual, which makes it even more fun! Such a cute dress!

On Tuesday, I spent the day cooking and we had a dinner at the park with the families that Rick home teaches. I made pulled pork, homemade rolls, carrot fries, potato fries, chips, soda, and gluten free brownies (one of the guys he home teaches has celiacs) and regular brownies. It was a busy day of cooking, but it turned out yummy. On Wednesday we went to the IDEA museum across from Ricks work and he met up with us for a bit. The kids love the IDEA museum. Haley was at the mall with her friends.

They have a cool light board that the kids loved.

Abby could've spent the whole time in the vet room, taking care of all of the animals. She loves to pretend and has the best imagination! I just love hearing her play and talking to her animals and pretend friends.

She also loved the kitchen area...

On Thursday we got up and drove to San Diego, poor Jacob wasn't feeling well but he was such a trooper the whole trip. He said that his mouth, gums and throat hurt, so he didn't eat hardly anything the whole trip. We took him to the dr. this morning and it turns out he had a mouth ulcer and strep throat! Poor buddy!! The first thing we did when we got to San Diego was go boogie boarding!

Ricks parents met up with us and they were very happy to escape the smokey air where they live. Several fires are up by them and they're letting a family stay in their RV who had been evacuated.

Abby thought the ocean was hilarious, she would run down to it and then the water would come up and she would laugh and run away from it. She thought it was hilarious!

That night we had dinner at P.F. Changs because we had a gift card and a coupon:)

Ashlyn tried some of Grandma and Grandpa's Calamari, which is fried squid! She's so brave!

On Friday we went to the San Diego Zoo, we were able to get discount tickets through Ricks brother in law who is an Air Force Reservist. Thanks Mike! The first thing we did was ride the bus that takes a tour of the outside of the zoo. It's a great way to see the zoo and not have to walk!

Poor Jacob, just wasn't feeling well the whole time but he stuck with us! We went on the Skyfari ride, which takes you across the park.

It was pretty scary being so high up, but pretty too!

Abby loved getting to pet the goats...

On Saturday we went back to the beach for a few hours and boogie boarded again and then traveled home. It was a great quick trip!

Ashlyn boogie boarded the whole time we were at the beach, on both days. She's hooked! Here she is riding a wave in...

Grandma Johnson was teaching Jacob how to boogie board, he caught a couple of waves. He's becoming braver and had fun!

We always drive by this space motel on the way to San Diego, so I finally caught a picture of it on our way home. It's so cool!!

Abby playing with the chopsticks we got at P.F. Changs on the drive home...

It was a great fall break!
