Family Vacation

Okay, so there are a TONNNNNN of pictures on this post...I will try to keep explainations short and sweet. My bro got married in AZ last week. It was AWESOME! His wife Suzanne and him met at Picacho Peak and decided to have their wedding there in the beautiful desert. It was so great to see most of my family there...I miss them already!
Sooo, here's me and my beautiful mother in front of a beautiful Arizona sunset after the wedding...
Here is the bride taking her walk down the aisle...
I love this picture of my brother watching his bride-to-be coming...I can tell from behind that he is smiling...Love it!
Here they are right after the ceremony walking to the sides to greet everyone (or shall I say have everyone greet them!)
The Just Married Sweethearts walking...
Okay, so we left two days after the wedding and headed to California! Our first stop was Legoland. It was so great because they had a lot to do for little kids (our kids are not just young, they are short for their ages, so they wouldnt be able to ride much at Disneyland.) They had a blast and lets just say they both fell asleep many times in the car on our vacation in-between stops...
So this is Brayden and me playing around but he would not put his head up for a picture!
Cortney and Kyler on a helicopter ride...
Kyler racing a car...so much fun!
Keaton did a lot of watching from the shade of the car-seat, as well as in the stroller or snugglie...
Brayden raced a car too...
Day 2 was Sea World! It was awesome. The kids walked through the gates and were greeted by a penguin.
Shamu- What a great show! We saw the dolphin/seal show and the Shamu show and a bunch of others too, but there is just nothing like Shamu!!
Cort and the boys looking at stingrays and starfish, etc.
Another great Shamu action shot!
Stingray up close, you can touch them....
Day 3- the Beach! Okay, so day 3 was the coolest temperature wise of all the days, so I wished we could have had a cooler day at Sea World and a warmer day for the beach, but it was still incredibly beautiful!! We loved it!
Cort and his big boy Kyler!
This was seriously the best time to take a baby on a trip, cause he just slept and ate and played a little and looked around and slept some more!! I thought this pic was adorable because his neck was sooooo kinked- I could not believe it could be comfortable...he sure was out!
Another beautiful beach shot...
Va-Va-Voom...look at that sexy couple! We took this pic ourselves because there wasn't anyone around!

We stopped in Vegas for one night on our way home and stayed at the Rio in a super nice suite. The Rio has the most beautiful swimming pools and spas- we went there that night and the next morning and it was amazing. So much fun! Then we stopped in St. George to eat at our favorite resteraunt from Boise (Mongolian BBQ) and then made our way home last night. It was so fun and exhausting and exciting. And I am actually kinda sad to be back in the real world now...

It looks like you guys had a great vacation--I am jealous! I have heard good things about legoland and I am thinking we will have to try it out one of these days!

Your vacation looks like it was so much fun! I wish we could have joined you (though not with a 3 week old baby!). Maybe next time!

What a fun trip! I am glad the baby was good for you. Just the thought of it with our baby makes me shudder. And they are roughly the same age (due at the same time, anyway) She would have been a nightmare. Thanks for the wedding pics. It looks lovely. If a bit hot! How fun in Cali! We are going to the beach house in 2 weeks, and are trying to decide what parks to hit. Were you able to get a good deal somewhere?
