On our way to Southern Cali, we stopped in Vegas and saw...
...of the Opera. LOVED it!!!!!!!!!!!
We then went to Sea World and...
...saw the dolphin show,
the killer whale show,
and many other attractions such as the turtle reef,
Baluga whales,
and the Arctic. (Matt got a really bad sunburn and was cooling his skin a bit on the ice wall.)
We attended a session at the San Diego Temple,
Went to the beach,
generously applied sunblock,
and froze our toes almost right off. (For me - literally - thank you Raynaud's.)
Brrrr...
We played at Six Flags,
Rode the X2 2 times, (We had to. It's implied in its name.)
then saw the attractions at Universal Studios.
Waiting in line. (We did a lot of this, and small town girls are just not used to long lines.)
Whoville
Major Flash Flood. (Good thing we were on a tour bus and quickly drove away.)
In all, it was a fantabulous vacation. I loved having fun with my Matty. :)
The Sign-In Table
A few of my past kindergarten students came. It was sooooo fun to see them again and to see how big they've grown!
A friend of mine made these yummy strawberries.
Water Fountain
Matt designed the cake and his brother, Jeremy, made it - cake stand and all!
Susan and Alexis at the Candy Table. Matt promised them 3 bags of candy if they helped out at the reception. Needless to say, they were thrilled - especially Susan. ;)
Landon and Louie
Matt's aunt and sisters-in-law made the cheesecake.
Carl - looking as stunning as ever.
Grandma, Aunt Debbie, and Shirece
The Receiving Line
Noah
Gifts
Cheesy grins with Grandma and Grandpa Herriges.
Nanny and Me
Cutting the Cake
Louie making her grand entry when it was time to throw the bouquet. She started strong, but didn't finish strong because...
...Shirece caught the bouquet!!!
I love my Matty-Bear.
