Disneyland

After our wonderful days at the beach we headed over to Anaheim and Disneyland! The kids were excited because we had been talking all about it but it far surpassed their wildest dreams.






Waiting in line for "It's A Smallworld". This was the kids favorite ride! We went on it several times. The first time we went on it Lily waived at all the dolls the ENTIRE time. She was just enthralled and waived and waived and waived. It was more fun watching her than the ride!








We saw lots of princesses! Lily loved them all. Ollie was not at all interested in having his picture with princesses but he did consent to have ONE taken. He wanted a picture of him with a knight instead. :)



Lily's favorite princess to see, was Snow White. She was super nice and spent extra time talking to Lily. Lily still talks about talking with Snow White.






Claire just enjoyed being held for three days. She was great the whole time. She was very easy to take.

Ollie watching a parade. Notice the nice calm unsmiling face.



Lily watching the same parade. Mouth open, hands wiggling, and whole body shaking with excitement.



Familiar friends.

Vacation 2011

We had a super fun vacation this summer! We started out by flying to Southern California. We met my Mom, Dad, and brother, Nate, there. We spent the first night at my cousins house. Then the next day we went to Laguana Beach. We spent two days on the beach basking in the sand, surf, and sun. We all had fun just romping around and relaxing! We especially enjoyed getting to spend time with my cousin and her wonderful family!! We don't get to see them very often so it was wonderful to get to know them better.




The kids buried Uncle Nate, who was a good sport!



Papa and Claire just chillin'.

Lots of playing in the water.
