California and Disneyland Trip

Our trip to California was so awesome. Our resort was so great!! This was the view from the deck of our condo. Nothing but trees and ocean. So beautiful.
The amentities there were so nice. The pools were awesome and the kids loved playing for hours . The hot tubs were pretty great too!

Out by the pool area they had a big game area with a giant checker board and pool tables. The kids went crazy over the checkerboard and we had to put in a couple of games there. It was just so beautiful we couldn't help but just have a good time.

Disneyland was a huge success!! The kids had so much fun and were such great ages to really enjoy it.

They loved meeting all the characters and going on all the rides.

The teacups are always a big hit. Tanner was tall enough to go on everything but Indiana Jones and he was so not afraid. He went on everything with no hesitation. He was so excited. It was so great. Kaya was a little hesitant on some of the bigger rides because she had some memory of the last time we went that they were scary. She did most of them though. Dave even took both Kaya and Tanner on Tower of Terror. They weren't so sure about that one when they got off. Tanner said his feet flew up so high when they dropped that they almost kicked him in the face. Too much fun!!

Cole's highlight was definitely meeting Woody. Soooo Cute!! He was a big fan of the Buzz Lightyear ride too and I think we rode it about 10 times throughout the week. The new Toy Story ride was also a big hit but a much longer line so we were only able to ride it once.

Of course we had to get them all new Mickey/Minnie ears. Here they are getting ready to watch the cute parade. They were able to go out on the street with the characters and dance during the parade. They loved it.

Kaya enjoying her giant Mickey Mouse pretzel.

We were definitely sad to see our days at Disneyland end. We had a great time!!!

We were able to get in a day at the beach for just a little bit. It was definitely too cold to be in the water but the kids enjoyed being able to build in the sand. It was the week after their huge storms so the beach was covered in seashells that had been washed up so they had fun gathering those up too.

It was such a great trip and the kids did such a good job travelling.

Can't wait until next time!!!
