SoCal










We were lucky enough to be in SoCal during their little 80 degree warm up so we hit the beach and just enjoyed being outside while we could. We had two beautiful days in Disneyland but on the third day we had to leave early because of the stupid rain and we have been in that same storm ever since! ...Anyway the kids had a blast as usual. Maddy got up the guts to ride every fast, scary ride at California Adventure and I had fun watching her conquer her fears. She still hates anyone dressed as a character though. Alex finally got to do the Jedi training and defeated Darth Vader, we were so proud :).  They collected cool seashells and starfish from the beach and then left them in the back of the car to stink the whole place up the next morning! Gross!! 
I was able to get my Sprinkles cupcake fix and we all loved the Newport Marriott resort we stayed at.
I just loved being with my family and our good friends the Hairs.

Looks like you had a blast! We are trying to get up the courage to take six kids to Disneyland, we are heading to Mexico first for Jason's graduation at the end of the year! I can't wait!

The fact that you landed the 80 degree weather that we were hoping for... JEALOUS. But I'm so happy for you too. You guys deserve it. Looks like you guys had fun! Someday we'll have to be down there at the same time instead of overlapping or just missing each other! And no, you didn't miss anything on the Tower of Terror! However, you do need to try it someday. Eeewwww... So scary. Go on it with your kids.
