Trip to California

What a great vacation we had over Thanksgiving. We had so much fun at the beach, Disneyland and spending time with my brother and his family. My niece got baptized while we there and it made the trip extra special. Most of my family was able to go and it was great to see everyone in sunny California. I have to divide up my posts. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the pictures and blogging about the whole trip so I am going to break it up. We left on Friday the 18th as soon as Kevin got off work and stopped to stay in St. George. The next day we traveled to California and of course we always try to stop in Barstow for Mad greek. The kids got a kick out of all the statues and giggled at some of the ones that didn't have clothes on.




We wanted to stop and see the ocean before are Disneyland trip got under way so we headed for Newport Beach. It was about 65 degrees so I thought the kids would just want to put their feet in the water. Well after their pants were all soaked I decided we better get the swimsuits on and let them play. They didn't seem to mind and played in the sand and water for awhile. Maisey didn't remember the ocean and at first it was fun to watch her run away from the tide.











We had a great time and made lots of memories. I absolutely love the ocean and was thrilled that the kids got to have so much fun playing in the sand and water. After everyone was good and cold and wet we headed to our hotel room at The Desert Palms and hung out in the hot tub for awhile and then we got ready for bed and rested before out first day to Disneyland!
