We may have seen it all...

Here is one last picture from our trip to Cali. We took it at LAX as we were waiting to board the plane.



Yes, folks, that is indeed Captain America helping unload luggage from a plane...

Sea World San Diego

While we enjoyed seeing all the animals at the San Diego Zoo, I think Sea World was the family favorite. Lately, Noah has been obsessed with dolphins (and whales and sharks, which he thinks are dolphins, too, haha) so Sea World was a huge hit for him. Noah also had a great time on the kiddie rides :) Thanks to Grandma J and Aunt Sara, Ely and I actually got to go on a couple of rides together, too! We had to do the solo riding thing when we went to Disney World, and it's much more fun riding together!

We also owe a huge thanks to Anheuser-Busch and their "Here's to the Hero's" program which gets us free admission to Sea World once a year!!!

There's Shamu!

San Diego Zoo

After the Nebraska game, we drove down to San Diego and met Grandma J and Aunt Sara for some family time. Our first stop was the San Diego Zoo! I have TONS of photos from the zoo on our camera that haven't been uploaded yet, but here are a few from my iPhone.

You can't really tell from this photo, but there is an elephant being groomed in the cage

Pandas!

Family photo ; - )

Trying to ride on the goat...

Meerkats

We were having some snacks at one of these tables, but Noah decided he wanted to sit at his own table

Waving to us from his "own" table

Go Big Red!!!

***I am ridiculously behind on my blog posts so these next few entries might seem a little weird since they happened a couple of weeks ago, but I'm going to try and get all the photos up from our Cali trip before I start on the most recent activities!***

Ely and I were sooooo excited to take Noah to his very first Husker football game! We took the 5+ hour flight from Kauai to LAX to watch Nebraska take on UCLA.  Unfortunately, the game itself didn't go so well...and since this was the second time I've seen the Huskers lose in the Rose Bowl Stadium I'm thinking maybe it will be the last time I watch them there...haha. But we still had a great time at the game and Noah loved all the activity and all the people! He also had a great time mimicking Daddy :-) Hopefully this is the first of many Husker games we will get to attend together!

"Why do you keep trying to take my picture, I thought we were supposed to be watching some football!"

At the start of the game we had this entire section to ourselves! It worked out perfectly because Noah had lots of room to run around!

"Seriously people, enough with the pictures!"

The Huskers running out onto the field!

These people had stick figures drawn on their sign and Noah was giving them high-fives, haha!

Shoe!!! 

You have to have sat in the student section in Memorial Stadium to understand this one ;) I was actually there the year the "Shoe Crew" got started!

My friend Erica flew over from Phoenix (she and I actually went to the game together the last time the Huskers played in Rose Bowl Stadium!) maybe she's the jinx and it's not me after all...haha!

Touchdown!

Ely had been cupping his hands and yelling for the defense, so Noah decided to do it, too!

This is Noah's new "cheese" face...I have no idea where this came from!

Trying to motivate Nebraska!

Chicken dance?

Looking a little worried at this point...

Noah was making this crazy face for some reason...

and then I figured out he must be growling at the scoreboard!
