California!

We just got back from a wonderful trip to California. Rob's parents had their 40th wedding anniversary on Wednesday and to celebrate they flew the family to Cali and rented a beach house. It was a lot of fun with a lot of great memories made.

This is the view of the ocean from the deck at the beach house. It was awesome to sit out there in the mornings and watch the surfers.

The house came with all kinds of toys for the beach and the kids loved playing with.

We went down to the beach the first night there just to check it out. Landen loved the sand, hated the water. The moving water scared him.

Disneyland was kind of busy and the crowds were everywhere. Rob's parents bought Landen this bubble gun and he had tons of fun with it.

This just about sums up every line that we were in. Carter just cried and the person holding him ended up wanting to pull their hair out.

The second night we watched World of Color which amazing but the wait was a little long. Here is Carter being entertained by a cousin and a blinking bracelet.

Landen was having a great time. Notice the bubble gun.

Here are all the kids playing a game to pass the time.

Landen was so tired that he completely passed out after the show. Grandpa was great to carry him to the car.

The second day we saw some characters which was really fun for the kids. Landen was so excited to see Goofy and gave him a great big hug.

Carter spent a lot of time in this thing!

We went to Mickey's house to visit. Landen was really really excited to meet Mickey Mouse. He also had to show him his bubble gun.

We were smart the second day and rented a stroller for Landen. Not only did we not have to carry him everywhere but he took a little nap.

The second night we watch Fantasmic. While waiting Landen played around with Aunt Arianne and ate a giant sucker. He was in heaven.

Waiting.....

On the way out of the park we saw Captain Hook. Landen loves Captain Hook and wanted to meet him.

The next several days were spent at the beach and on the docks at shops. We went to the wonderful restaurant with giant sandwiches. But they were DELICIOUS!

Chilling on the couch, watching a cartoon with cousins and grandma, eating a fudge popsicle. Can't get much better then that.

Landen enjoyed the flight home with a movie on the nook and headphones. Since then we have just been recooperating. It was a great trip but it is great to be home.
