On Tuesday afternoon we drove to San Diego. We went to dinner at Schlotsky's across from the temple. It was so cool when we came out and we could see the temple across the highway with all the beautiful temple lights. We loved walking around the temple, it was our first time to see the Christmas lights there. On Wednesday we went to Sea World. It was pretty nice for the first 2 hours. Jonas took the kids on the Manta coaster a few times before the crowds came. It was pretty busy that day but we were able to see the shows and animals. It was cool to see it all decked out for Christmas and all the shows had a Christmas theme. We stayed for the 8:30 Shamu Christmas show and everyone was wiped out and cold but it was cool! Fun day! On Thursday (News Year's Eve) we went to Coronado Beach, loved it! The cold din't bother the kids one bit, they jumped in and had so much fun playing in the water and sand. Then it was time to drive home. Just past Yuma we lost our transmission on our van. :( We said a prayer and a nice family pulled up and towed us to their house. They also happened to be leaving for Mesa that evening. So they gave us a ride. 8 kids, 4 adults, and 3 dogs crammed into a minivan. It was interesting but we were so grateful! My Dad came and picked us up in Mesa. We donated our van and bought a new one! We took the older 3 kids to have a sleep over at my parents. They had so much fun. Jonas, Canyon, and I went to sleep at 9:30, we were wiped out. I also got pink eye that day. Oh adventures!! Happy New Year!!!
