San Diego Adventures

Sock Bob's Adventures in San Diego began with a trip to the San Diego Temple with Harper and her Young Women friends to do baptisms for the dead. Of course he didn't go inside, but he had a fun time riding in the car and going to In-n-Out for dinner afterwards. 

The next day Sock Bob went school shopping with Harper. Tanner was gone to Safety Patrol Camp the whole week. He had a lot of fun too but Sock Bob wasn't allowed to go.  Harper did a great job shopping for modest, yet cute clothes and Sock Bob was a great help!

After a fun day of shopping!

Just goofing off in the parking lot while we were waiting to pick up Tanner from Safety Patrol Camp.

Once Tanner came home it was time to celebrate! It was the Fourth of July! Although you can't see Sock Bob, he loved all the barbecues and fireworks that came with the Fourth.

Sock Bob also got to help Tanner harvest some veggies from our garden. Look at this giant cucumber! We should have taken a picture with Sock Bob holding it  but he was too scared, because the cucumber was a little poky.

Sock Bob also brought with him a special pair of earrings so Harper took a picture with the earrings on. We don't know what Tanner is doing. . . .

The weekend after the Fourth Grandpa and Grandma came for a visit. They helped with Tanner's crazy birthday party and they were here for the special Sunday when Tanner was ordained a Deacon and received the Aaronic Priesthood.

It was fun to have Sock Bob here to share in these special adventures with us. We can't wait to hear about all the fun things Sock Bob gets to do with the rest of you. Sock Bob left here just in time though. We started school this week!

Miya at the fruit stand in Georgia

 We had a great time with SockBob early this summer, and we wrote all about it....then it somehow got deleted. So, here we go again! Thankfully SockBob was here when it was not quite so hot in Kansas. 
He joined us for a 10 day trip to Florida! The drive was 22 hours long, but he didn't complain even once!  He spent the majority of the ride hanging from a hook on the wall in a bag with his head poking out. One of the highlights of our trip was when we stopped in Alabama and had some real barbeque with some of the best biscuits we have ever tasted!  When the waitress found out how far we were traveling she sent us with an extra box of biscuits for the road.

Aaron, Meagan and Isaac playing in the ocean

Another favorite stop was in Georgia at a road side fruit stand.  After a really long day we were all ready to get out of the van! We all piled out and tried our first boiled peanuts (mixed reviews),  admired the wildflowers and bought some sweet potatoes, peaches and watermelon! Yum!
We spent a day at New Smyrna beach and thankfully SockBob remembered sun screen on his back, because Alisha and Isaac didn't!

We're pretty sure that SockBob's favorite part of Disney World was Animal Kingdom. We all had a great time on the Jungle Safari, watching the Lion King and Nemo shoes and riding some great rides like Expedition Everest!
Favorites:
Aaron: He loved Tower of Terror and after that he was hooked on "the big rides!"  His favorites were Rockin' Roller Coaster, and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
Isaac:
Meagan: Expedition Everest, Rockin' Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror
Miya: She loved the Tea Cups, "the Buzz Ride" and meeting her favorite "yellow princess" (Belle). She was also featured as Boo on the Monster's Inc. Laugh Floor.
Alisha: Holding the high score for Toy Story Adventures was definately a highlight, along with the night show in the Magic Kingdom.
Kip: He was the man when it came to getting fast passes and truly maximizing our time!  The first day at Hollywood Studios he walked/ran 26 miles!  I don't think he was planning for a third marathon this year!
We are all looking forward to hearing about your adventures with SockBob!!  We may update again soon with a story Meagan shared with him before he left, it was pretty exciting!

He's on his way!

After 2 weeks of recooperation from a long car drive and exciting trip to Disneyworld with the Crazy Kansas Kimballs, Sock Bob is off to the Moulton's house tommorow.  He is excited to share some pictures and details of his adventures soon, but just wanted to let you all know that he is on his way!
