We just got back from 8 awesome, yet exhausting days in California with
my sister and my parents. Vacations are fun but I think I came back more
tired than when we left. We (me and the kids) flew out on Saturday and
Jordan flew out the next afternoon because he HAD to go to the Utah vs.
BYU game the night before. So that first day we just chilled and went
to the beach; it was Marley's first time there and she loved it! I
think she loved being able to get as muddy as she wanted without getting in trouble!

On Monday we went to Disneyland! It was so freaking hot we almost melted. And Tate whined and threw so many fits I almost gave him away to a stranger. Each ride was his "favorite" and he only wanted to do that ride all day. He got a little better each day so by the end of the trip he wasn't too bad;)
The kids loved meeting the characters too. And for Halloween the park was all decorated, and some of the characters were dressed up.
On the rapids before getting soaked. Tate was in heaven because he could go on almost every ride. The only thing he couldn't do was the roller coaster in California Adventure. So he felt super cool being able to go on the "big" rides.
Waiting in line with our sweet glasses
On Wednesday we took a day off from the parks and went to the beach again. It was so nice to get away from crowds and relax.
yep, we are those parents that let their kids get their faces painted.
Marley just about died seeing Minnie Mouse. Minnie came up and gave her kisses and hugs, it made Marley's whole day!
The three amigos. They were so silly most of the time, they would hold hands and sing songs, and just act so wild and hyper. (By the end of each day we wanted to tape their mouths shut:)
Everybody went home a day earlier than us, so we drove to Sea World our last day. It was fun, but I think we were theme-parked out by then. So we only did that for a half day. It felt good to go home, but it was also a little depressing to get back to reality....and having to start cooking food again:(
But we all loved it and hope the next time we go it can be with my whole family!
