They had a real mexican pinata that everyone beat as hard as they could and it still didn't break! They really know how to make them strong in Mexico! Finally they just pierced a hole and ripped it open and everyone grabbed candy.
We lit off fireworks...sparklers and lots of loud popping ones.
We went down to San Carlos Mexico with our family and my sister Jenna who just returned from her mission. 
We went to the "happiest place on earth" Disneyland! Alana and Adalynn were tall enough to ride all the rides and they did great walking all day from 10am to 10pm! Brett's parents stayed in a rental home with us 2 miles from Disneyland and kept the baby so we could enjoy the day. They dropped off Allden in the early afternoon so he could experience Disneyland too. Around 8pm they had an amazing fireworks show above the skies at Disneyland. 
Here is the relaxing boat cruise we took.
The kids enjoyed seeing Woody from Toy Story.
The Matterhorn was the kids favorite ride. We did this ride twice. 
Brett was having fun with the new camera taking pictures of the kids. Allden will be 3 this month! Adalynn will be 5 in January and Alana is 6yrs old! They are getting big fast!
We went to the Children's Beach in La Jolla for a relaxing afternoon. We found these cool looking pelicans catching fish.
We saw several Harbor Seals and were able to get up pretty close to them and watch them. This one barked at us a little to make sure we didn't get too close. It's funny to watch them flop around on the sand like a big caterpillar.
A nice lady took a family picture for us. It was a beautiful sunny day. Brett asked why wouldn't you want to live here? The only reason I could think of is that it's too expensive!
We grabbed some Subway sandwiches and tried to have a nice picnic lunch out on the grass but were bullied by a flock of seagulls trying to get our food. Alana and Brett had to chase them off but they kept trying to come back and attack our food!
Whenever we go to San Diego we love to see the temple! It's like a beautiful white castle.
This was the rapids ride which we got pretty soaked on. Good thing we had rain poncho's!
We went to Elmo's playland and they had a fun little tunnel that Alydia had fun crawling through.
Brett took the kids on the spinning sea stars. I get sick on those spinning rides!
We enjoyed looking at all the fish in the aquarium. Alydia really liked seeing all the fish up close!
We got to wear these funky 3-D glasses for the Elmo 3-D show. It was funny to watch the kids reaching out and trying to grab things that were popping out of the screen. Allden even said "I can't get it!"
We went to the Artic exhibit and saw a polar bear, beluga whale, and a huge walrus! We also went on the wild Arctic ride that simulates being in a helicopter flying through the Arctic, it was pretty cool!
We enjoyed the Sea Lion show with a little Halloween theme. They danced to "Thriller"
We found a Halloween scene to take some pictures, the boys were matching and the girls were matching, we were asked a couple times if the girls were twins.
Check out my gun! This one had a pretty good kick!
Alana is aiming for the target with Papa's help
Alydia is Papa's pal especially when he has pens in his pockets. She didn't mind the gun shooting too much.
Brett is practicing his shooting skills to go hunting for elk with his Dad next month
Allden had to have a turn shooting the chipmunk too!
We were trying wings on Alydia. She is 10 months old now and has 4 teeth. She is so fun!
Alana and Adalynn just finished up a dance class through the City of Chandler it was a 9 week class and at the end they did a little dance for the parents it was cute.
I can’t believe Alana is starting school and summer is over! She is going to be a big first grader! We met her teacher her name is Mrs. Farkus, she seems nice. She doesn’t have anybody from her Kindergarten class with her. I think they divided them all up and there were only like 6 kids from her class that were staying at Weinberg. At least she’ll get to see them at recess. She does know 2 boys from church in her class and she chose to sit at a table with all boys. Funny that my little girl likes to play with the boys more than playing with the girls. She loves the things they love like Star Wars, racing, competition etc. So it will be so weird to have her gone to school from 8:30 till 3:00, I’m loosing my baby girl! Addy still has to wait another year before she gets to start Kindergarten but I’ll put her in preschool 2 days a week.
