Making Memories....

We started out our vacay in sunny California!! The first day we were able to go in short sleeve shirts. The second day we all needed jackets, but it still beats the freezing temperatures we were use to! We are so glad to have had Tyler's family and my dad there with us.

We went to Disneyland for two days and Sea World for one. I got in free to Disneyland because it was my birthday and the whole fam got in for free at Sea World because Tyler is in the military.

We got a vacation condo rental for the stay and it was perfect.

This was Gavin's preferred way of traveling.

This was Jordan's preferred way of traveling.

Why does Tyler get all the fun?

We did a lot of waiting in line! We only lost one kid....once.... and it was Jordan. We were all excited to see the Haunted Mansion with our "Fast Passes." We were all just weaving through the lines and when it finally stopped, the back of our crew asked the front if we had Jordan. No Jordan! We immediately ran back to our strollers and luckily we found our little guy there-- crying, but trying to be comforted by a teenage girl. We are lucky that we noticed he wasn't with us so soon and that he stayed put! The thought of losing him in Disneyland is sickening.
We, of course, still had to ride the carousel even though we can ride carousels anywhere outside of Disneyland.

Splash Mountain!! Makenzie loved it! I wish we would have taken her on Space Mountain, but we saved that ride for the "Adult Only" evening we did.


We waited 2 hours for these two little princesses (and one handsome prince) to meet their idols.
Jordan ended up with the BEST deal of the whole thing....

Of course, what is Sea World famous for???

Most of the family sat in the soak zone and here they are getting wet!

These guys put on a great show! They imitated many popular television shows.


All-in-all it was a great trip!! A very exhausting trip by the end, but it was great making a lifetime of memories with our family!
