We spent the first part of our trip in LA which was really cool. The trip started out great with Haylee losing her 2nd tooth!! So the tooth fairy visited us in California. We also got to see the LA Temple. That is where Grandma was sealed to her parents so that was really neat to be able to walk around the temple grounds. Then we went from the temple to Hollywood Blvd. How about that for experiencing it all? Anyway, our kids thought that was really cool. Maycee looked the whole time for Johnny Depps star. When we finally found it she was so excited. We ate a VERY overpriced meal at the Hard Rock Cafe but it was worth the experience. 
We went to Universal Studios this year and it was so much fun. We absolutely loved it. Our kids are old enough to go on a lot of rides and it was Halloween time so it was decked out with all sorts of stuff. It was just so nice to see something new. Our kids love all of the Nickelodeon and the Universal Studios movie characters so they had a blast.
We were able to go to SeaWorld and it was really fun. The kids loved the rides this time. We loved the Sea Turtle exhibit. It reminded Mark and I of swimming with them in Hawaii. It was fairly warm in the morning and luckily we did a lot while the weather was still good. We went on a ride that we thought we might get a LITTLE wet on. Haylee didn't want to go so she stayed back with Grandma and Grandpa. Grandpa was so nice to give Haylee several quarters to squirt people as they went by. Needless to say we got drenched and then it got overcast and was freezing the rest of the day!! We were so wet we looked like we had jumped in a pool. It was so freezing, but very fun.
