Weekend Vacation

For those of you who don't know, Dallen and I flew to California for the weekend to surprise my Mom for her 50th birthday!! It was Dallen's first time on an airplane and he did pretty good. He ate almost the whole way there (it's a short flight) and slept the whole way back. We had many big adventures on our mini-vacation and lots of pictures of our fun memories. EnjoY!!!

On Thursday night when we arrived we all went out to dinner for my Mom's birthday. Wouldn't you know that Dallen's Mimi chose Mimi's Cafe. Although the celebration was for Mimi, Dallen made the whole night about him!! He wouldn't sit still at dinner, he was playing with anything he could get his hands on (except his own toys). He even drank everyone's water at the table.
On Friday, Auntie Kellie took us to the beach. Let's just say it was quite an adventure and although it was challenging, we will definitely be doing it again. Dallen played in the sand and napped in the shade and what trip wouldn't be complete without tasting a little sand?!?! At least we got these ADORABLE pictures of my little surfer dude.
On Friday night we went to Uncle Scotty's lacrosse game. Great Grandma and Grandpa were there too. It was really bright when we first got there and then got pretty chilly (for CA) once the sun went down. I'd never been to a lacrosse game before and it was really exciting and tons of fun. Dana Hills won the game 9-8.
On Saturday we took Dallen swimming in the pool for the first time and he absolutely loved it!! He was so sad when we made him get out. We will definitely be playing in the pool more often, I just know our little man is gonna be a great swimmer.

All weekend long, Dallen loved playing with Kasey. Unfortunately Kasey wasn't as big a fan of Dallens. She was nice to him though. He would pet her face and she would lick his fingers and he would laugh.

I got some really good videos but can't get them to upload to blogger but I will keep trying. Thanks for the fun trip family and we are so excited to be home with Daddy again!!
