2013 Hernandez Family Camping

Hernandez Family Camping means gobs of food, gorgeous views, great company, and gusts of wind! Here are some pictures from this years camping adventure.

 It was too windy to kayak... well except for Michael and Nick. 
 Funky flames and glow stick fun.

Destination Babymoon

That's right... Babymoon! Michael and I are expecting a little boy in October and we are super excited. We decided to take a little vacation to California and celebrate our freedom from parental responsibility while we can.  We hit up San Diego first to check out Sea World and visit the San Diego LDS temple.  I loved Sea World.  Watching the shows and touching the sting rays was probably my favorite part.  I am so fascinated by the sting rays.  They are beautiful animals with interesting faces.Visiting the temple was awesome too.  It is so beautiful, inside and out.
Michael drove me around everywhere.  This is our first view of the ocean on our way to San Diego from L.A.

I wanted to go on this ride so badly, I forced Michael to go on it so I could live vicariously through him.
Touching the sting rays.  They are beautiful, soft, and slimy.

Sea turtles are so cool.

 We finished our fun night off by going to Downtown Disney for Dinner. 
 Disneyland

 Fast Passes are a genius idea... we went on the Indiana Jones ride a couple of times.

 We love the Buzz Lightyear ride.  We went on it several times too.  Lucky for us every time we went the wait was only 5-10 minutes.



 We went on Splash Mountain 2 times.  The first time we sat in the back and hardly got wet. 
 The second time we went (at 9:45pm) we got put right up front.  I was soaked.  Michael tried to protect his phone by holding it against his chest.  The picture is hilarious.  Splash Mountain has always been my favorite ride... still is. 
 At our locker to get a dry sweatshirt. 
 Disneyland is the greatest.  It's so fun and happy there.  We are looking forward to taking our little boy there someday.

Camping with the Newlyweds

We had planned on having another great Hernandez Cousin camping trip at Banbury this year, but the week of things came up and the cousins bailed on us.  So instead of canceling, Michael and I decided to camp out with Megan and Waldo at Lake Cleveland.  I really wanted to camp on the lake, but all the sites were taken.  So instead we pitched our tents at Twin Lakes camp site not too far from the lake.  Steve and Gloria joined us for foil dinners Friday night, and then Saturday we did some kayaking.  Cammy's family came up Saturday to kayak with us too.  Here are the pics from our adventures.
