The girls loved the lego Star Wars area.

Leia and Luke
Boba Fett
Yoda!
The mini Star Wars set ups were awesome!

It was a hot day and the girls (with Daddy and Charlotte) cooled off in the big splash zone park.
We were not prepared for this - no towels, no change of clothes.
Thankfully they had giant size dryers so everyone dried off a bit.

The next day was going to be hot so we thought an indoor adventure might be good.
So we went to The Natural History Museum in Balboa Park.
Outside there was a gigantic tree! Beautiful!
We came for the dinosaurs - we saw a 3D movie about dinosaurs then we went to the exhibits.
Cara loves ammonites and she saw a great display!
Lots of great exhibits here.

So it was very very hot...like 100 degrees!
So the kids cooled off in a fountain.
Then we got some ice cream.
And rode on a very old carousel!
It was super cool.
One of the girls favourite things from the trip - story time with Uncle Mark!
The next day we went to Oceanside Harbour to walk around and explore a bit.
On the way we went to lunch at Chipotle!
Yummy!
Back to Oceanside Harbour - this guy was making giant bubbles it was cool!
The girls got to pop some and they loved that.
We walked out to the beach and had some fun exploring.
The girls found lots of shells and pieces of shells.
