Cousin Valerie Visits for a week in July

Steve's niece Valerie (Allie's cousin) came to spend a week or so with us this summer.

We spent a very hot day at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Allie and Daddy playing in the water area.

Valerie and Allie get completely soaked. It felt good, it was SOOOOO hot.

We couldn't miss out on a picture with Sponge Bob Square Pants!

All of us at dinner on Universal City Walk.

Valerie locked in the stocks.

Christie, Valerie and Allie visited the San Diego Wild Animal Park.

Whoa, watch out for snakes.

Next on the agenda was the Orange County Fair.

Let's see if I can go on this ride.

Weeee, this is fun. Allie and Valerie on the Crazy Bus!

It goes way up high!

On the roller coaster with Daddy! She was constantly saying "Raise your hands Daddy, raise your hands."
