Kids favorite Sea World ride, 'Atlantis'.
Happy Birthday Canada and America!
This week I am sharing with all of you pictures from San Diego! This is the most beautiful, American city I have ever imagined. Ted had to work for a few days so went along with him for a mini vacation and to take the kids to Sea World. The kids were very inspired that they could possibly work in a place like this one day training animals. Every show we went to we left saying how happy we were we made the effort to see it. Word of warning if you have never been and one day will go, the soak zone means you are going to get soaked, not just wet, soaked. We ended the forth of July with Sea Worlds fire works and a 'Shamu Rocks' show.
Petting sharks on a tour that also included feeding turtles.
While dining with Shamu we watched the trainer and whale interact and practice a few tricks.
Just to show how close you actually get to Shamu while 'Dining with Shamu'.After a few amazing days we went up to Bear Lake, CA, to hang out with Ted's boss and friend Eiad Abunimeh and his family at their beautiful cabin. We must have been 9,000 feet up (the last sign we noticed said 7,000 with still a long way to go) and very much feeling a little odd.
Along with all the great stuff we had a little bad luck. We worked very hard to get all our green card information in before the end of June because something big was rumored to happen. We did our job but the lawyers didn't send off our application in time. Sure enough, the new Amnesty bill that tried to pass was rejected causing even those of us trying to work legally to have our green card process dropped. We are not sure what is going to happen now. I would much rather have had our application get rejected than lose the green card because of some idiot lawyers who couldn't use the mail.
On the brighter side, Isi's new saying is "all right". I love it! She can also say cool, cute, sis, moon and mine. I am sure there are more but those are the best.
Well, that about covers things for now.

Ted insisted I had to add this photo because Isi is just too cute. She is posing with her favorite toy and baby in the world.
Love The Sfikas Family.
