The Beach!

Our second day in California, we went to the beach! Anytime I can be near the ocean, I am happy. The weather was truly perfect this day and the beach was not very crowded at all. We rented a huge van to get there and also a bunch of beach stuff so that we didn't have to pack any. June was brave in the water and body surfed with Buck and she loved digging for sand crabs. Hazel loved rolling around in the shallow waves, digging, and chasing the birds. Rose was thrilled at running towards and away from waves and digging in the sand. And Johnny was kind of grumpy until he got to sit in the shallow water and splash around. The only down side was that we didn't get to stay there longer! (or move in.)
My favorite photos. She was laughing so much and so determined to chase them all.

DISNEYLAND! Part Four

Last chapter in the Disneyland trip! Our last full day we spent it again at California Adventure. This was a great day because the park was not crowded at all, whereas the other days it was PACKED. I will mention, however, that we had perfect weather most of the time. So you win some, you loose some, right? 

I've never had this place to myself before!

I thought this was funny....

Then we headed back to Disneyland

"Where's June?" Always lagging behind, day dreaming.
Sums it all up.

The next day was the last but not a full day, as we had to fly home that night. So we stayed half the day in Disneyland
Rose and I were on the train and then at one of the stops we found some people we knew haha
Hazel really loved seeing Mickey Mouse
Rose was so excited to go on this roller coaster...


Pirate Island!

And then we headed home, souvenirs in hand, or on our body... I got this wonderfully ugly sweatshirt.
We had the girls earn and save up their own money for the trip. It was a great idea! They didn't ask us to buy them ANYTHING (except for a few treats) and they waited until the last days to buy what they wanted after thinking it over. June got some crazy pet alien from Star Wars, a bubble gun, a huge sugary macaroon and some lolly pops for her friends. Hazel got a set of Toy Story figurines, a stuffed Forky, and a pirate sword. Rose got a Buzz, Woody, and Forky and an Ariel bubble gun. I just wanted to remember those little details. 💖

Over all, as you can see, it was a fun and magical time. The kids really didn't throw too many fits, so that was nice. But it was still exhausting to keep track of four kids and keep them well fed and happy. But they ate their weight in macaroni and cheese, rode rides, smiled and hugged characters, had time with family, tried new things and hopefully made memories they will never forget. 🌟
