Thanks to the generosity of dear friends, we were able to get a trip to Disneyland in before the boy's 3rd birthday. We spent the weekend in California on our first family vacation, having the time of our lives. The boys had a blast and we all came home exhausted, the signs of a successful trip. We can't wait to go again!
 |
We pulled in to the hotel around
4:00 on Saturday afternoon. |
 |
| Immediate pillow forts are a must. |
 |
| We decided on a trip to the Rainforest Cafe for dinner. |
 |
Aside from the frequent
thunderstorms, the boys
LOVED it. |
 |
We explored Downtown Disney for an hour or so after
dinner and although I didn't get any other pictures,
we did have a lot of fun browsing all of the shops. |
 |
| Sunday morning called for an Easter celebration. |
 |
| The boys loved their Easter egg hunt! |
 |
| Such happy, handsome, hunters. |
 |
| They would clap and cheer for every treat! |
 |
| Every egg was thrilling to open. |
 |
Candy was good, but four new cars? They could
hardly contain their excitement! |
 |
The boys and I (mostly me) were
getting restless in the hotel room,
so we went exploring. |
 |
But they were entertained for
a good hour or so! |
 |
Dipping our feet in quickly turned
into much more. |
 |
Sun bathing has never
been this much fun. |
 |
The boys got an early birthday present for
our day out in the sun. |
 |
| They loved them! |
 |
| We couldn't wait to get our toes wet. |
 |
Miles was brave and took some deeper steps
with Daddy. |
 |
But we might have changed our minds when the
waves were stronger than expected. |
The boys were a little nervous after the strong waves, so Josh and I picked them up and walked up to our knees in the water. The boys loved when the waves would crash into us. We had a few waves almost knock me over but the boys thought it was hilarious! I'm so glad we got to experience the ocean with them.
 |
| Sand castles at the beach are a must. |
 |
| Miles loved his new shovel. |
 |
| He took on the role of overseer instead of builder. |
 |
| And took his role very seriously. |
 |
After sandcastles in the sand
we set out on an exploration. |
 |
| Adventurous little Benji |
 |
| Fearless boys! |
 |
| The view from the top of the rocks. |
 |
I think Disneyland has some pretty stiff competition
for the happiest place on earth. |
 |
| One, two, three....GO! |
 |
| One, two, three..four...fi..GO! |
 |
| He makes those waves look good. |
 |
See that little black spot, just 20 yards
from us? It was a Seal/Sea Lion! |
 |
| Pretty awesome! |
 |
| Muscles at the beach! |
 |
| Three fingers for our big three year olds. |
 |
It was a perfect first trip to the beach and one
that we will never forget. |
