Cali Trip

Two weeks ago we went on a super fun Trip to Cali with Tyler's family. On the way there we stopped in St. George on the way there for one night. The kids did great on the drive. The house we stayed in had a fenced yard that was perfect for the kids to play in. There we some child-sized plastic chairs in the back yard that Addy loved. The next morning, which was Sunday, we managed to get some cute pictures of the kids sitting in the little chairs in their Sunday best.

They just melt my heart! They were being so perfect and sweet to each other, and then...... 

A little dose of brotherly love! I love how Dawson is like "Hmmm, I wonder how that happened?"

After church that day we were off to Anaheim, California. The drive felt looong, but once again the kids did great. They had their moments but definitely exceeded my expectations. We got to the Embassy Suites Hotel around 7:00 that night. Dawson loved the elevator, and the fact that you could get endless soda in the cafeteria. The next morning we went to Disneyland!! Dawson was in Heaven. The best part about being a parent at Disneyland is just watching how much fun your children have. 

Entering the magical world! 

It was drizzling a little when we got there, but the weather got better and stayed beautiful for the rest of our stay. 

The first ride! Dawson was getting so excited by this point. 

The Buzz Lightyear ride was Dawson's favorite by far, and we rode it again and again Addy loves Buzz and really enjoyed this ride too.

Holding hands:) P.s. this monkey back pack/leash was a life saver. Dawson hates holding onto one of us in public, but he doesn't mind the leash. And then I don't have to worry about him getting lost! 

The next day we went to California Adventure. Cars Land was amazing! It really did look like Radiator Springs! Dawson was so excited to see Lightning McQueen!

After a while of fun, we decided to take the kids back to the Hotel for naps because they were so cranky. Dawson cried all the way back to the bus. He was exhausted! 

We got back just in time for a parade. The kids were all about the Toy Story characters. 

Bumper Cars 

That turkey leg looked disgusting, but it was actually pretty good, Dawson loved it. 

Cotton Candy! 

This lego store was awesome!  

That night we saw World of Color which was amazing. I guess we were too busy enjoying it to get any pictures. After that we said goodbye to Disneyland and Cali Adventure.

We had one day left in California, so we went to the San Diego Temple. It was gorgeous!!!

We were supposed to go to the beach that afternoon, but it was way too windy. So we just went back to the Hotel and took it easy for the rest of the day. We were pretty tired by then anyway.

We had a blast in California! The next day we hit the road at 4 in the morning so Tyler could be back in time for one of his final classes. (Tyler graduated last Friday, there will be an update on that soon. Happy day!!!!!). It worked out well to leave at that time bc the kids slept a lot of the way. Goodbye Cali! Hope to see you soon!!
