Week in Review

Last week was a bit busy. Scott had a lot of extra vacation time left over for the year and could only carry so much over. He decided to take the week off. It worked out nice because we have/had all of these annual passes to places and wanted to get in our last visit. I don't think we are going to renew any of our passes this week. Money is tight and we are better at being mindful of that:) So it was the perfect opportunity to get that last visit in. Scott's parents also bought us season tickets to Six Flags Magic Mountain (Christmas present-thank you mom and dad Archer) so we look forward to making our field trips there this year. It's closer to our house and they have a huge Bug Bunny land that is fantastic for the boys. So here is what this week had to offer:
We went to SeaWorld San Diego Monday. If you are ever in California, this is a must go to. No matter how old you are, I promise you will enjoy SeaWorld. I think it has probably been my most favorite place in California. Since I have posted so many Shamu and Dolphin photos in the past, I will spare you and post different things from there.
We watched the animal show. It was really cute. We thought it was just a dog show but it ended up being a dog, cat, pig, bird, etc show. It was really cute. This guy really loved us and seriously put on a show. This is a Bengal Monitor and he came right up to the window and every time Harrison put his hand on the glass next to him, he would act like Harrison was scratching him. It was hard to pull the boys away as they really loved the interaction. I have to admit, it was pretty cool.

Onto the rest of the park.

The cool bridge overlooking the flamingos. We went to Knott's Berry Farm Tuesday. I think the highlight was watching Snoopy on Ice.

Friday we went to the Santa Barbara Zoo. This picture makes me laugh. He has one hand on the wheel and it looks like he is trying to pick up a girl with his posture the way it is.

Sunbathing.

Feeding the giraffes.

He really wanted me to take his picture while looking through this. And of-course he didn't want a boost to look through the hole :)

This guy was not shy this visit around. He came up close and just starred at us.

The boys feeding the pigs and goats at the zoo.

We rung in the New Year New York style. We let the boys stay up till 9pm our time to watch the ball drop on the East coast. Check out our little boys getting dressed up. William was so excited about it. He is still Mr. Christmas and is non-stop talk about it. He keeps asking when Christmas is coming back. I think New Years was a good little distraction for him :)

And right after the ball dropped...

In bed by 9:05pm. Ha.
