California Here We Come!

We just returned from "the happiest place on earth" and
escaped the winter weather for sunny southern California.

The boys loved our time at Crystal Cove Beach, near Laguna Beach. The highlight was seeing dolphins swimming and jumping just out from where we were standing.





Our new favorite ride is Toy Story Mania at California Adventure. Gabe loved seeing Mickey's house and riding on Pirates, Nemo, and the Haunted Mansion. Prior to our trip, Gavin measured everyone to see what rides they could go on. He was so excited to go on The Tower of Terror, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Splash Mountain. He asked me, the 5 foot tall mother, if she was tall enough to go on all of the rides.

Because the lines were short~Ian, Isaac and I were able to go on Splash Mountain 4 times in a row without having to get off the ride!







Our dad really is Mr. Incredible!

We returned home to Utah just in time for one of our spring snow storms.

At least our memories of the trip can keep us warm!
