Five for Fridays

Well this past week was Spring Break week, and we were jam packed with baseball games down in the OC.

1. Brady's West Ranch baseball team beat the no. 4 (or 5) team in California, Mater Dei in their Spring Break tournament.

2. We went down to San Diego for the second portion of Spring Break and went to Sea World. The weather was overcast and in the low 60's, so it wasn't super crowded there. Being a teacher in California we took Sea World up on their offer of a free annual pass for teachers. The only thing we paid for was parking and food! We saw all of the sights and attractions and shows.. the only thing we didn't do were the rides for obvious reasons...

The Sea Lions Live Show

The dolphin and pilot whale show.

Brady's favorite: the Beluga Whales... we bought Breslin a stuffed Beluga!!!

And of course... the Shamu show. It's definitely interesting to see how the show has changed ever since the trainer died in Sea World, Orlando; no trainer's go in the water with the orca's, and they do not pick an audience member to go up and pet Shamu anymore.

3. While down in San Diego we were able to visit Brady's good friends' Jeremy and Michelle Goodman and their almost 2 year old Cadence.

4. While down in Orange County for the baseball tournament, Casey and family, and us went down to Newport Beach and Balboa Island. We took an electric boat tour of the Island and then drove over there and looked at the beautiful houses and did a little shopping...

5. We bought two new rugs for our living rooms. (We have got to stop watching DIY and HGTV)
