OUR CALIFORNIA TRIP!!

Make a Smilebox slideshow

Well after almost two weeks and too many hours of driving to count we have made it home safe and sound from our vacation to southern California. It was a very fun vacation for all of us. Here is a slideshow and some special pictures from our trip! Please comment!! ~I do want to give a send a big thanks to the Drews for letting us stay with them for a few days while we were in San Diego and to Nella for giving us free passes for Disneyland!~

Our Family at Sea World - We watched so many shows at Sea World plus we got to ride several rides! The boys and I also got to say hi to Elmo and Big Bird!

Ryan on His First Mini Roller Coaster~ I couldn't resist posting this picture because Ryan is so darn adorable. This was his first mini roller coaster at any of the theme parks and he went on it alone!! He was like an old pro... as soon as he got on and got buckled in he put his hands up. He yelled, giggled, and had his hands in the air for the entire ride. He must have learned it from his dad and aunt Liana because I don't ride roller coasters but either way it was so cute!

Us at Universal Studios Hollywood! There is so much to do at Universal, we weren't able to do it all. We saw lots of fun shows, took a tour of the backlot where we actually saw an actor (we just aren't sure what his name is,lol), and took lots of pictures with the characters.

Jason and the boys standing on the Malibu Beach~ The water was cold (like Navajo Lake) but that didn't stop the boys from running in to get wet. The first sorta big wave took Dylan and Aaron down so Liana and I had to run in and help them out of the water. Dylan didn't want much to do with the beach after that but Ryan couldn't get enough of it, he is a beach bum!

Character Breakfast ~ One of the highlights of our trip was eating breakfast in our hotel with Lilo, Stitch, Daisy, Donald, and Minnie. Every 15 minutes they would have games and dancing for the kids and all the characters came to your table to meet you and take pictures. The boys loved every minute of it.

Our Family in the Hotel Lobby with Goofy!! As I mentioned a little before we got to stay two nights in the Paradise Pier Disney Hotel. We could see California Adventure from the elevator and the awesome pool from our room. It was well worth staying in a Disney hotel. You get a VIP entrance into Disneyland plus the ammenities they offer were awesome. I think we all really enjoyed the hotel and Disneyland was the favorite stop on our trip!
