It's VACATION PICTURE TIME!

So we just got back from spending 9 days on vacation. We drove to San Diego, stopping in Las Vegas on the way. We stayed in the Excalibur - which Brynn LOVED since it was a castle - and saw some of the sights of the strip, went to the Las Vegas and San Diego Temples, went to the San Diego Zoo, Sea World, the Wild Animal Park, went to the beach at Mission Beach, visited the Point Loma Lighthouse and tide pools, walked the shorelike trail in La Jolla and spent time at the Seaport Village shopping center and Embarcadero Park.
My scenic pictures - the ones with no kids - can be found HERE. For family pictures, look out below!

A good time was had by all - in fact, probably too much of a good time as we are all worn out!

Walter Wick exhibit

My girls ALL love the "I Spy" and "Can You See What I See?" books. They are all photographed by Walter Wick, and when I heard that the BYU Art Museum was having an exhibit - had to take the kids!
They had many of the pictures from the various books in HUGE prints on the walls, and they had sets and things from a few of the books. Also short videos to watch about the making of the photos. It wasn't a huge exhibit, but it was very interesting.
The first picture shows Seymour, a character in the "Can You See What I See?" books who appears on every page and Brynn LOVES to find Seymour. When she saw the REAL Seymour at the museum, she talked to him, danced for him, and tried to kiss him through the glass.
