Today we went to legoland, drove to the Mexico border and then tried to catch the sunset over the ocean just missed it starting we caught the last part of it.
Callie liked the rides and enjoyed the rollercoasters. She really loved being able to drive the car by yourself with no one else in it.(as a side note she wouldn't let anyone else pass her she kept swerving in front of the other kids).
Tommy d liked the Roller coasters and liked the airplane rides. He also like aquazone water rides. He really loved the 4d movie even though he didn't get sprayed. He liked the teacup thingy it goes alot faster than a traditional teacup ride. He liked being able to drive by himself even though it took me a minute to get the hang of it. he liked battle splash trying to spray everybody he could even innocent by standards. Hwe liked all tghe rides.
Nicki liked everything again a girl of a lot of words must be her dads child.Her favorite thing was the rollercoasters and water rides. She really enjoyed technix rollercoaster it was fast and turned alot. And she also liked the drivers course she driove all by herself. she got a drivers license from it.
Maddy liked everything especially these rides: Technix rollercoaster, big verision in teacups, the 4d movie, and the aquazone and the air[planes ace ride. The beetle bounce.
Paula enjoyed all the rollercoasters, she really liked the dragon rollercoaster, we got to ride it back to back due to no lines. Her favorite was miniland. All these cities formed in legos, she could have stayed there all day I think. She loved being able to do things with the whole family including the little ones they allowed smaller kids on all but two rides. that is pretty much it.
I enjoyed the rollercoasters. I really enjoyed listening to Callie laugh she wouldn't leave my side but everytime she got excited or scared she would just start laughing her head off, it was awesome. I really liked all the kids run to the rollercoasters and rides cause they were excited. My favorite ride would have to be the Dragon coaster though.

San Diego Day 5
Today we started with the Air and Space Museum, then we went and rented snorkeling gear and wet suits, and then we finished the day off at Boomers amusement park. we wanted to go to Belmont Park but it closed 2 hrs from the time we would have gotten there so we decided to go somewhere else where we could spend some time.
Callie enjoyed the beach and building sand castle. She loved going over and smashing Paula's while it was getting built.
Tommy D liked the Boomers and the going on the Go Cart rides even though he wasn't old enough to drive himself he enjoyed being able to ride and act like he was driving. The mini gold course. He also liked playing the arcade games. He liked the beach and building sand castles. He laughed at Callie sitting on Paula's castles and really liked it when Callie farted on it. He also liked the 4d movie. He liked it when the movie sprayed us with water from a monsters mouth and I said eww stinky you need to brush your teeth. He also liked the Childrens place in the air and space muesem. He liked going in the water at the beach. He liked watching Nicki getting 2 holes with one stroke. she hit a little hard.
Today Nicki liked when she hit the golf ball to hard and got the 2 holes with one stroke. Pretty much everything at the Boomers. She liked the beach and chasing the waves and running away from the waves when she wasn't so cold she didn't want to do anything. The soft sand was pretty cool to her. She also loved getting a broken seashell right off the beach. She also liked the air and space muesem the play area and the 4d movies.
This is Maddy and I liked the beach especially the water I spent the whole time [I don't know how. I also liked the mini golf and getting a hole in one which is my first hole in one and I have never played before. I loved the teacup except for two of the spinnings it felt like like I was the moon and I had to orbit around the earth. The farris wheel I was scared on when it was going down. I loved riding the go carts with my mom. I liked the 4d movies at the air and space muesum except when i got sprayed with water. I got to see Amelia airharts plane the lockheed vega 5b.I liked being able to go snorkeling with my dad. We went out about 100 yards or more from the shore. It was great.
Paula liked seeing the Red Baron plane at the muesem , the 4d movies, she liked going to the beach even though it was cold. she is thinking about getting a wet suit for everyday living. She liked racing the go carts until some little girl crashed into her.
I enjoyed listening to the kids laugh and giggle at lots of stuff. Callie seemed to really enjoy today and she let us know it by how she laughed and laughed and laughed. When we were on the go carts she didn't stop laughing the entire time. I also enjoyed throwing Paula into the water at the beach she wouldn't get her head wet so I gave her a little assistance. I got to take Maddy out and teach her how to Snorkel and with her life jacket on she seemed to really get the hang of it. I think the thing I have really liked about this trip is my frugal wife even on vacation she is watching the local sales and shopping accordingly. She also got us an awesome deal on a card that lets get into tons of places we got the card for $1,000 and have already used that much plus Legoland to go.

San Diego update
Today we had planned to go to Legoland but while enroute when Paula remembered reading a few days earlier that they were closed in the middle of the week. We changed plans and went to the Zoo instead. The kids seemed to have a lot of fun but lets get it straight from them.
Callie's favorite parts of today were Pandas she remembers that one of them was eating. She also liked Giraffes which we just missed seeing a new one born by less than an hour.
Tommy D liked the rats because of their home and all the tubes that connected it. he thinks there were three of them and maybe one was hidden. he also liked the rabbits in the petting zoo he just wishes he could have gotten closer to them. he also has decided he wants a pet rabbit because they look adorable(his words). He says the tortioses were pretty cool. He liked the baby hippo and the momma hippo. He liked the lions. He liked the elephants(surprisingly they have 11 of them here). He enjoyed riding the skytram across the park twice. He liked the snakes and monitors. Basically he loved the whole entire zoo.
Nicki walked over to me and said she liked the petting zoo and then walked away with nothing else to say. Guess cartoon withdrawls have set in.
as a side note nicki stated she liked the Koalas
Maddy liked the petting zoo, the okapis, and the all the babies.
Paula was excited cause tommy d finally showed some emotion and smiled alot. We had a large tortiose come over to us the thing was huge an easy three feet in diameter and she was impressed with their speed. Paula thinks she may be able to beat them in a race.
Tom enjoyed the sky tram rides the most partly cause they were free. The Pandas were pretty cool but it seemed liked we were getting rushed through. I thought watching the Callie in the petting zoo was cool she seemed to love all the little animals cause they were the same size as her. We went on a guided bus tour there which I would suggest not doing you really don't get much time to get to see the animals and you only see about half the zoo if that. They do give you alot of information about the animals you do see. I was impressed in how the kids were reading the signs and remembering what they had learned I was floored by some of things they told us. They started to read whether or not they were endangered.

Day 2:Midway and Harbor Tour
Callie stated the Midway was the best part of the whole day she liked the flight deck and she could see all the boats from there. She liked the sea too.
Tommy D liked listening to the self guided tour speakers on the Midway, he liked going around the Harbor and being able to see the seals and sealions on the docks.
Nicki didn't like anything on day 2.
Maddy really liked the historical part of the Midway and being able to see all the planes. She also liked seeing what it was like on the shi[ and what jobs they had. On the Harbor Tour she liked seeing the Top Secret Submarine Bay. They had Covers all over the top-secret propeller.
Paula and Tom both enjoyed seeing the kids locked up in the Brig.
Day 3:Sea World
Callie's favorite part of the day was seeing the Shamu show. and that is all.
TOmmy D really liked the water rides at Seaworld particularly Journey to Atlantis, seeing Shamu watching mom scream and yell and laugh at things, and watching the dolphins, seeing and playing with the starfish. He liked the Sea Lion show.
Nicki enjoyed everything today but she really liked the rides at Seaworld.
Maddy liked the rides although she didn't like them when she first got off the water rides cause she got cold. She loved the Dolphin show and just seeing Shamu. She thought the sea lion show was funny, especially the Dancing with the Sealions portion of the show they danced the tango, pop, and swing.
Paula enjoyed the sea lion show. She was upset that Shamu didn't get are area very well and she didn't get wet. She enjoyed beign with the kids and just being silly around them She liked the fact she could show them that mom and dad aren't always serious and can have a good time. She liked the rides and the smiles that came to the kids.
Tom's favorite part of the day was watching Paula just being herself witht the kids and not caring about what others thought. He loved watching his kids dancce and play. His favorite show was the Sea Lion show they seemed to get alot more packed into their 30 minute show than the others. The dolphin show was nonstop but they had more trainers and dancers than they did animals.

March 2011
I decided since I am so busy tonight at work I had no excuse to ignore writing and updating the blog. even though the majority of the people on here know what are going on cause you are part of my facebook network. I guess it is better to have multiple spots of history so if one goes down I still have the other.
Paula had scans done in Feb, they came back good I guess. The doctor stated that the brain tumors are still dying and not growing at all. as long as the tissues don't cause swelling nothing will have to be done.
the kids are doing good are excited to get swimming lessons this year, we missed softball signups so we are putting them in swimming.
We are getting ready for our vacation to San Diego and I will update on how that went next month.
