Finally some FAMILY time!

After having Ryan gone all summer we were very excited to get to take a family vacation - just us! Ryan planned the whole thing! 3 days at the Naval Base Resort on Coronado Island, CA. It was such a great few days! The place was awesome! Beautiful private beach, great pool and playground.

 The view from our hotel room. It was so great being on the beach!

 After bringing all our luggage to the room we suited up and headed out to the beach!

 Mars insisted on walking on her own way across the beach, so we lagged pretty far behind the others.

 In awe of the big beautiful ocean!

 Getting ready to run on in. 1,2,3.....

 And out they come! They had SO much fun! I LOVED just sitting there and watching them.

 Watching this, being together as a family, literally the PERFECT evening and just what we needed!

 The sun was casting horrible shadows, but it was our one family photo!

 Breakfast with the sweetest 17 month old ever! The hard boiled eggs were her favorite part, who knew?

 Waking up to these 3 sweeties. Didn't take Brinley long to get her suit back on!

 My beach beauty! Marlee had fun playing in the water with us for a little, but it was cold and she enjoyed just playing in the sand and chasing birds.

 Cheering for Dad!

 Loving her Daddy!

 The 3rd day we headed to SeaWorld. We hit the Shamu show first and the kids had fun staning in the front!

 Pretty neat show. Just amazing what they can teach a killer whale! The show isn't what it used to be, without people getting in the water with them. But still pretty impressive!

 Soaked by a whale!

 The dolphin show was next! Pretty neat and exciting, kept the kids attention... except Marlee she was over tired and only interested in eating snacks :)

 Waiting for their turn on the Flying Fish ride

 The kids had fun watching the little Sesame Street show and waited in line 20 minutes to give them hugs. Casen was the most excited and Marlee was pretty hesitant.

 After waiting in line we found these two characters on our way out!

 Trying to pet the dolphins. Brinley was pretty disappointed that she didn't get to touch one.

Casen was too short to go on the big Atlantis roller coaster, so while Brinley got to go with Daddy, I let him get his much desired dolphin pretzel.
