Oh Arizona, How I loathe the!

This should be a happy cheery post about our great San Diego trip, don't get me wrong it was TONS OF FUN! Being back in AZ though has me so depressed, explanation: It's wayyy to hot here! This is Presley our first day back begging to go outside. She loves being outside, all weekend that's all we did was hang out in San Diego OUTSIDE. She stood at our back door watching the birds and dogs banging on the window saying " ah ah ah" that's what she does when she wants something. It really drives me mad that I can't take her outside for more than 5 minutes. Her face gets red and she sweats... It's just too darn hot! I would love to call California my home, its hot during the day but not deadly hot, seriously there is a extreme heat warning in this state everyday! It's so expensive to live there though and Manuel's job and our family is here :( I just don't want to stay in this state one more summer. On a happier note ( but still hating Arizona ;)) We left at 7:30 pm Friday night and decided instead of making the 6 hour drive all at once we would do 3 hours stay in Yuma and then the next morning drive 2 1/2 hours to San Diego. Here we are stopping on the way to Yuma for dinner. Mmm Panda, Presley even had some.
Of course she loved the fortune cookie, she only got a tiny piece but her fortune said " You will soon be the center of attention" LOL should have said " you are the center of attention"


Here we are in Yuma getting ready to drive to Sea World... (She was chewing on a piece of gum)

@ Sea world, her first show, Pets Rule! She didn't like the loud noises, but loved the animals.


Mama and baby taking a break...


So cute, we were watching the Mama shamu and her new baby swimming together. You can't see the baby because the mama is blocking her here. Aw and it was a girl baby.


Of course Presley loved this and had to have it ;)



Waiting to see the Shamu show...


There is the mama and baby( she was 400 pounds when she was born! and I thought 8 pounds was bad!)


Daddy, Presley and baby shamu snuggling in the comfiest bed every, I love the Hilton!



Ready to go to the beach...


At first she didn't know what to think & then we put her in the water and it was COLD so she didn't really like that but she did love...


Playing in the sand!

I learned a lesson on this trip, when with a baby at the beach come prepared! I forgot the beach towels and oh man there was sand everywhere. We had to strip Presley and give her a cold shower outside, she didn't like that too much, Manuel got soaked because he had to hold her, we had to dry her off on our clothes and quickly put a diaper on... Sand got everywhere :( My new car :( It was so worth it though. We had such a great time and are sad to be home, but only 72 days until our next trip to CA, and this time DISNEYLAND! Yes I sure am keeping count :) I love my little family and this was just what we needed a lil' vaca from home.
