Banks Bunch

What cute parents. We love Alan and Sharon. Thanks for such an awesome vacation!

Here is Brett showing Brayden one of the inside of the planes. I'm sure soon Brayden will love planes. :)

We went to the USS Midway, which is a retired aircraft carrier. It was so neat to see everything inside, and the girls loved getting in all the planes.

I just wanted to say that I love this man. He is a great husband and a dad. He doesn't get alot of time to spend with us, but when he is with us it is soooo fun. I am thankful he was born. I can't believe he is 33 now. :)

Brett and Brynn had so much fun in the ocean with the family. Brynn is fearless in the water. We are so happy Brett had the day off for his birthday. Brynn and Aubrey are such dad's girls. They love it when he is around. He always makes them feel like princesses.

Brett turned 33 on Sunday. We had a Shrek party for him on the beach. We had a breakfast on the beach and then we had Brett's cake. It was great having his WHOLE family there for is birthday. ( ALL 15 of us).It was so cool because we stayed at the Navy Lodge for the 4 days they were here. We would just walk out our backdoor, and we were on the beach.

Here are the brothers celebrating Brett's birthday with him. They all went to the Padres game the night before with their dad. They had a great relaxing time, the girls and the other had quite a different night.

I love my cute little cuddly Brayden. He really didn't see any of the animals at the zoo, but he was a trooper none the less.

We went to the Wild Animal Zoo. It was an interesting day. For some reason we really didn't get to see alot of animals. We did however get LOT of exercise due to all of our walking.:)

It didn't really matter if the animals were out or not it is always fun when you are with family, especially our dad. Brett took 4 days leave, so he got to be with us for all of our activities.

Here are all my cute " animals". I love my cute kids. We sometimes tease them that we are going to send them to the zoo. It looks like they would like it there, but I would really miss them. They can be crazy at time, but they sure make life exciting.

Here are the cousins with grandpa. All the kids love grandpa so much. He makes each of them feel so special.

Brynn did so good on her driving course that she got a drivers license. She was so excited because she thought she would be able to drive home.:)

Aubrey loved all the Lego figurines. Brayden was pretty much just happy with whatever.

It was so fun having the all the Banks come down and visit us. It was a beautiful day at Sea World. My girls LOVED spending time with their grandparent. They truly are such good grandparents. :)

Everyone who last name was Banks got the privilege of wearing the green "Banks Bunch" Tshirts. It was so fun to look around at everyone at Sea World, because they would just stare at this big group of people wearing bright green shirts. I felt lucky to be apart of such a great bunch!

We really had such a wonderful vacation with all the Banks family. I can't believe we fit in Sea World, Legoland, Wild Animal Zoo, Padres game, beach day, and the USS Midway tour all in 4 days. Thanks to all of Brett's brothers and wives and his parents for making the trip out here. It was so fun being all together at the lodge. I am so thankful I married into such a great family. My girls keep asking when we get to see everyone again.
