What a Fun Vacation!

We finally took our kids to Disneyland! Justin and I were starting to feel negligent, after all Cole is 6 years old and hadn't been to Disneyland, EVER!! It's the shocking truth :) Justin and I went when we were both very young. Justin's memories needed to be replaced with fun, accurate ones because he remembered things like a clock, sitting under a tree eating an apple, the log ride and his parents forcing him to take a picture with Mary Poppins who had been out in the sun too long. Talk about the “happiest place on earth!”

We went to Disneyland for 5 glorious days, one with record breaking hot temperatures. The kids were ecstatic about everything they saw. They were great sports about waiting in lines and walking for what seemed like 14 miles a day. Cole was so brave and went on almost every single ride. Cole's favorite rides were California Screamin, Buzz Lightyear, Star Tours and Pirates of the Caribbean. Macie's were the rocket ships, Autopia and Winnie the Pooh.

We went to the Huntington Beach one afternoon and had a great time looking for shells and being chased by the waves. It was cool and windy but that didn't seem to put a damper on the outing!

Cole and Macie loved sharing a bed in the hotel, and loved staying at the hotel. When we left Macie kept saying she wanted to go back to the hotel. Not Disneyland! We could have saved a lot of money if we'd known the hotel would be the highlight!!
