California trip!

Waiting for our flight in the airport.

This last week end we went to California for a little vacation. We got this pass that let us go everywhere. We had such a great time. It was also super nice to be able to hang out with all of Jaden's family. We stayed with his sister Kristen and her cute little family. We are so greatful to them and the hospitality that they showed us. We flew in on Friday and stayed until Wednesday. The flight there was pretty bad. We were delayed an hour and a half which was really bad for us because that meant we didn't even get there until 10:30. Poor little Kysa was soooo tired. When she gets soooo tired she gets super crabby and fights sleep! She finally fell asleep on the hour and a half drive to Kristen's house. The bad thing about that though was that when we got there we had to wake her up and get her ready for bed... well she got a second wind. Not so good. By time we got to Kristen's it was about 12 something and she didn't go back to sleep until 2:30! Very long night. The next morning we got up got ready and drove an hour to Universal Studios. We met Jesse, Kim, Keisha, and Brandon all there. Kristen and her family came too so that was great! We did some really fun rides! It was a pretty long day for Kysa though. All day it the sun + no nap = crabby little girl!! Poor Jaden's got sick on the last ride of the day (the new Simpsons ride). I think we were all glad that day was over. Then on the way home I got car sick and that made for a long night of not so good conversations with the toilet. So the first day was very eventful! LOL! Here are some pictures of our fun!

Going down the huge very steep escalators. Jesse was so sweet to carry Kysa around on his shoulders. She just thought it was great and kept rubbing his fuzzy head. LOL!
Poor tired Kysa.
On the cool tour of the back lot. This was how they did rain and a flood in the movies.
In the movie "War of the Worlds" there is a big plane crash... well here it is! It is a real plane that they totally ripped apart. It was pretty cool. Normally there aren't bodies hanging out of it but it is for Halloween.
Anyone that knows Jaden knows that his favorite tv show is the Simpsons so this was a pretty exciting place for him. This is just outside the famous Kwik-E-Mart. Jaden was in heaven.
No worries it isn't a beer it is an energy drink, LOL!
This is little Lucas, he didn't really like the shark so much so he just held its tooth. So cute!
Keegan on the other hand just jumped right in. No fear!
The mean things parents do to their children. Poor Kysa!!
The globe that everyone knows.

Wow, this place looks cool! I've never been to Universal Studios. Maybe some day. I would have done the same thing with the shark too. :)
