Our family vacation this year was to sunny California. We drove the exhausting 19 hours to San Diego with the whole crew in the truck. Considering how long the drive was the kids did pretty good. Thank heavens for electronic devices. What did we used to do in the old days? ( I know I slept on the floor or in the back window :) We did break up the trip by stopping in Payson on the way down. We met 4 of Tony's siblings and their families there. It is fun for the cousins to play together and to have help. Once we got to San Diego the kids wanted to swim. The hotel we stayed at has an awesome pool that is heated and great for the kiddos. They spent a lot of time there. We also hit several beaches, Mission, Coronado, and Ocean. It was fun to watch the kids play in the sand and the ocean. The babies weren't too sure about the water. Every time a wave would come in they would lose their balance and fall, but they still had fun. Especially when the seagulls attacked our snacks and we had to run them off, the girls wanted to chase the birds the rest of the day.
Yummy sand!
After San Diego we headed to Disneyland! We love Disneyland! We went on lots of rides, the twins liked most of them, Kinley would get a little nervous if it was loud. They got to meet Winnie the Pooh and Tigger and Mickey Mouse. We ate lots of good food, and the kids loved the parade. Kinley and Karter were dancing the whole time and waving at the characters. Several came over talk to them. It was really cute. We are so glad Aunt Kate went with us, she was a lot of help with the girls and lots of fun too.
The favorite treat was corn on the cob!
We had a great trip! Lots of good times and fun memories.
