Las Vegas

We left San Francisco and headed off to Las Vegas. Anyone that knows us, knows that Vegas is a huge part of our life. Dominic's family lives there and it is like a second home to us. We were there for a week and our good friends, The Ensleys, joined us. A great time was had by all but, like any other vacation, the time went by too quickly......

At Nine Fine Irishmen--our favorite

Heaven on Earth

Arts and Crafts with all the cousins

San Francisco

We started our vacation in San Francisco. Dominic's brother, Richard, lives there with his family and we were so excited to spend 5 days with them. We got to see so much of the city and we were really sad that our time there went by so fast......

Sea World

This weekend, we decided to take the girls to Sea World. Malia is getting to the age where she notices everything around her and I had forgotten how amazing it is to see the world through a child's eyes...She loved it! Alyssa has been a few times and still enjoys watching the shows and seeing all of the animals, her favorite thing this time was riding Shipwreck Rapids with her daddy!

Friday Fun

The weather was so nice this evening! So, while Dominic vacuumed the cars, the girls and I played in the front yard....

Malia wasn't sure about the bubbles popping in her face.

Alyssa had a great time running around.
