Laguna Beach

 I got up really early one morning and walked on the beach and the streets. It was so nice without anyone around. The next day we did family pictures and spent the morning on Laguna.

 I loved the litttle shops on PCH.

 Since Addie had to dump all of her seashells out we found a little shop selling them.

 We had lunch at a pizza place. It was soooo good!

Joe Crab Shack on the harbor

 We go to Joe's Crab Shack all of the time, but its funner when its right on the harbor!

 Addie was very concerned how to eat her crab

Seriously? She actually snuck this home to put on her shelf as a decoration.

Vegas

 We stayed in Vegas on the way there to break up the trip. The hotel we stayed at had a water slide. The kids had a ball!

 Thank-you weirdo in the back

The hotel also had a "beach" area where you could swim in the lake. Totally gross but it had cool views.

Balboa Island

 While everyone else took a break from our morning at the beach, Aubree and I jumped in the car to go sight see. We drove to Little Balboa Island and walked up and down the street and the harbor. Then later on that night we all took the faery across to the main island (its really a strip of land, its not that exotic!) We went on a boat tour around the harbor which was really fun. We were able to see some sea lions and since we were sitting on the roof of the boat we had great views. In the picture above you can see a sea lion off to your right. Afterwards we rode the ferris wheel and played on the beach

 Yup, theirs even some BYU fans along the harbor!

Beach Bums

 It was low tide on one of the times and we found 3 star fish.

 Cute picture but not the best memory. David was helping Addie collect seashells. She was having the best time filling up her bucket until someone came up to her and said that you couldn't collect on this beach and made her dump them out. She was so disappointed and David and I were soooo mad! So when the lady left we snuck some seashells into our pockets. (oops!)

We went to 3 different beaches. Our hotel was in Newport Beach and overlooked the beach from the pool. The kids said their favorite part about the trip was Disneyland but I think it was the beach.

Disneyland!

The long awaited trip has arrived!! We took the kids out of school and drove to California. This was Addie's 6th time, Austin's 2nd time, and Aubree's...(do I really need to count?!)

Even David was excited. He swore he was only going to do 1 day, but someone he was convinced to go 2 days. So then he said we were just going to do short days on both days and somehow we did 8 hours on both days.

 This was Austin's expression as he walked through Cars Land for the first time. LOve It!!

Austin has a thing for loud noises(Meaning he hates loud noises!). It drives me crazy!

Loved the smile, hate the ride. Not worth the long line

Okay. Not my best picture.
