Just like home...but better!!

On our super fun filled, 2 week long, 4th of July, California vacation, you could find Dallen doing many of the things he does at home but it was so much better...

At home Dallen plays basketball with a plastic hoop and baseball with a mini foam bat; this was better...

At home Dallen eats a few sweets, but this was better...



At home Dallen plays in the sandbox and in the water, but this was better...




At home Dallen flirts with the ladies, but seeing his future wife was better...

At home Dallen sees boats in pictures or in the bathtub, this was better...
At home Dallen has a stuffed dog, this was better...

At home Dallen sees the zoo animals in cages and on foot, this was better...


At home Dallen goes to happy places, but the happiest place on earth was better...





At home Dallen gets to spend little time with family, so this was better...






Life at home is fun, but vacation is better!!

Such a cute post! You are SO right - vacations are always better. I don't know how you can ever get yourself to drive away from that beautiful place back to the scorching heat! :) AH.

Really cute post! Dallen is such a great picture poser:) Those pictures of him and Siena are adorable at the pool...if only we had more time! It looks like you guys had a lot of fun down here though. Next time hopefully we won't have a bunch of people staying with us and we can play more!

Having weather that stays under 110 IS better!

I love that you were able to escape this heat and go play elsewhere! California is the best place to play!
