camping to city

Our time in the RV came to a end and we spent 4 days with Michelle in Los Angeles. Our trip was such a good combination of camping/amazing landscape and city/beach!

Michelle has a friend that works at Universal Studios and she let us in for free!! The park is more for a little older kids but since we didnt pay we enjoyed the experience and did the things that were appropriate for our family. :)
We took the tram ride around the entire park and got the tour (which Michelles friend took us to the front of line...and we were so thankful because the line was probably 2 hours long!!)
The above picture of Cadence is how she spent most of the day at Universal. She is so sensitive and was really scared, so hid in Daddys arm most of the time. :)

This is at the Shrek show.
The next day we spent at the beach. Oh, how I love relaxing at the beach!

I really love this picture because it captures a lot of Isabelles personality. She is so into details, finding little pieces around the house and throwing them away. She did it at beach...looking for tiny seashells

Dylan, Michelle and myself made a big sand castle...well Dylan decided how he wanted it to look and we filled the buckets with sand. :) It was impressive. About a half hour later we look over to see some random little kids kicking and jumping around on it with the mom running over saying no to the kids. :) Dylan said he didnt mind and hanled it great!

The next day we went to the LA zoo in Griffith Park. It was a really nice zoo, we didnt get to all of the areas so we will have to go back again another time. Dylan and Isabelle had fun in the petting zoo...but once again Cadence was too afraid to go in even being held.

Thank you Michelle for giving up your one bedroom apartment space to a family of 5.

I know it is a sacrafice!!

The trip had to come to a end...but it was so amazing. Hope to do it again soon!
