Lost Pictures

So I've been trying to catch up on this blog and I was doing pretty good. I figured out that I could download the Blogger app on my iPhone and then upload posts from there. It worked out great because most of my pictures have been from off of my phone. Well my phone needed to do a system update. Once the update was finished, I couldn't turn my phone back on. Long story short, I lost all but 50 pictures and videos that were on my phone as well as all my Zumba music and apps. Luckily, I was almost up to date because I still have all the pictures that I had posted on my blog but I'm so sad to lose all those videos. I was in the middle of writing our Thanksgiving post from last year so here's a quick summary...

We flew down to Oceanside and met the rest of my family there, everyone except Jocey. This was the first time we met Bria and Gage. The next day we went to Sea World. It was great! There wasn't anyone there and we pretty much had the park to ourselves. It was a little cold and rainy though. We went through the exhibits and saw a bunch of fish and turtles. We went through the shark exhibit where you walk through the glass tunnel. We saw polar bears (Gwen's favorite), whales (Balooga whales were another Gwen favortie), dolphins, and sting rays. My favorite part was feeding the seals and I uploaded that video to YouTube before my phone crashed luckily. We got to watch the trainers with the dolphins, we got to pet sting rays, we watched the seal and dolphin show as well as the Shamu show. Reese wanted to get wet during the Shamu show so we sat in front and got soaked! We went on the manta ray ride a bunch of times because it was such a great ride. It was lots of fun!

The next day we went to Disneyland. They were already getting ready for Christmas so it was really similar to the last time we went to Disneyworld. We had a blast and it was even more fun that Gwen was old enough to get excited and have fun on the rides. We started off in Tomorrow Land first. Reese was just an inch too short for most of the rides like Space Mountain and Star Wars so we did what Ryan's parents did for him when he was too short for the rides, we stuffed his shoes. It worked! He was able to go on most of the rides and we got some really funny pictures of his facial expressions!

The next morning we packed up the hotel room and walked down the boardwalk and spent some time on the beach. We left and drove over to Claremont. I had been there before but this was the first time the rest of my family had seen Jeff and Karpi's house. We played at the park and ate donuts. Jeff and Kapri took Ryan and I out to try Korean food. Then that night Jeff blessed the twins.

I ended up flying back to Firth with Mom and Dad but Ryan had to fly back home for work. He ended up driving back down for Thanksgiving though so all of us could be together. It was a busy and fun trip!!
