A Visit to the Behling's

San Diego & San Clemente

Ben was chosen to help with letting the pigeons out!

The butterfly exhibit at the Safari Park was beautiful!
Daphne and I went separate ways from the rest of the family for a little while, and she really wanted to go on this spinning ride. I was so happy to hear that she wouldn't mind riding it by herself, because there was no way I was getting on! I can thoroughly enjoy just about any big roller coaster, but these tea-cup type rides just make me sick!
The boys don't look too happy because they got SOAKED by the dolphins in the "Blue Horizons" show at SeaWorld. It wasn't a very warm day... Later in the afternoon we were all happy to sit a little farther back for the Shamu killer whale show.

Ben was a bit disappointed by the lack of roller coasters, but I guess the Elmo ride was better than nothing! He is SO ready for Magic Mountain!

After San Diego we spent the weekend in San Clemente with our good friends the Cranney family. They used to live in Clovis but moved a few years ago. We sure have missed them and it was such a treat to spend time with them again!

Cameron Turns 8!!

Cameron had such a special birthday this year! On the 12th of February he turned 8 and it just happened to work out that he could be baptized in Sacramento with his cousin Leah who also turned 8 that week. It was a real treat to have just family gathered for their baptism. Cameron was baptized by his Grandpa Fisher and confirmed by his Great-Grandpa Fisher. After the baptism we all celebrated Cameron and Leah's birthdays by having a little party in Folsom. Cameron had a blast and it was even more awesome because his best friend Reese came along with us!

Our 2010 Christmas Holiday

For Christmas we flew to South Carolina to spend the holiday with the Person Clan in Charleston. Flying with 3 children went quite a bit more smoothly than expected, and FYI, getting through security takes longer if you have Play-Doh in your carry-on. Our bag full of carefully packed Christmas gifts had to be unloaded so that the Play-Doh could be run through the scanner by itself and swabbed for explosive material. But don't you feel safer because of that?

We had such a good time Tom and Jenn and Connor's house, (which looked so pretty with all the lights!) We toured some of the Charleston sights, ate sticky finger BBQ, and simply enjoyed each others company, and I even took a little bit of time to myself for photography.
Many many thanks to Bill and Molly for making the whole trip possible!

Of course we had to spend some time with Fisher relatives in Folsom before going home. We bowled, we geocached, we rollerskated...
