San Diego

Day 1
Will's oldest brother got married! He's Canadian. She's Mexican. So it was only appropriate to marry in the States. Ya, I don't get it either but it was lucky for us because we don't have passports. And who wouldn't want a perfect excuse to visit San Diego?
As soon as we landed we met up with family for lunch and headed straight to play at the beach...but sadly not in our beach clothes. It was mostly just to let the little ones get out all the energy they held in while being so good on the airplane. And while the kids played the parents sat, relaxed and soaked in the beauty.

It was so fun to have the whole Ellingson family together. We swam, had a pizza party in the hotel, and hung out all night.

Day 2
This day was all about this sweet couple at this beautiful place.
Half of the cousins all ready for the big day.
Sometimes big days are just too big for the little ones.
Their big reception will be in Mexico so we had a small family luncheon. Good food. Great entertainment.
Hugs and smiles everywhere. Lots of love. Happiness.

All evening and night the kids played and the adults talked and laughed. We tried soaking up every minute. Our time together went too fast.

Luckily we had a surprise Disneyland trip to cure our sadness of leaving everyone!
And while it made for one excited princess, it took a little convincing (only to the part of mentioning rides and Star Wars) for this little guy.
P.S. Will, I think we have found the responsible party for Josh's talking hands. Is that not identical?
