A Great Bookend to a Trip

Eventually we had to leave Disneyland.  Lindsey had a long layover in Pheonix so her grandparents picked her up and took her to brunch. She likes getting time with them.    Marcus, Aide, and Gordo joined them from brunch.  She was so tired that they took a short nap before they took her to the airport. Brian and Summer headed home while Jaime, me and the other three kids stayed at a resort in Newport Beach. We enjoyed food at the resort, table tennis, and walks around the grounds.  The view is just gorgeous!  I love the teal waters, blue blue skies, and palm tries with the sun shining bright.  We went to the pier and walked along the boardwalk and watched the sunset. We got acai bowls and headed back to the hotel to eat them.  It was a good way to close the trip before flying home the next morning.   

The Happiest Place

Exactly a year ago Jaime and I went to Disneyland with Brian's family. We just got back from another trip to Disneyland with them! It was fantastic! What made it so fantastic? *We took all our kids (last year we didn't) *We went with my brother's family  *We went on All. The. Rides! *We all tried and shared fun and yummy foods *The kids are all old enough that the trip was easy and just plain fun! Day 1, our crew heading in to Disneyland park! So fun being all together.  Our first ride was Big Thunder Mountain. It's one of my favorites.  Then we entered Star Wars, Galaxy Edge. My kids' first time seeing it. They were in awe.  Tyler and Maybrie Watching the video before going in to ride Smugglers Run. Lots of waiting in line for the ride but it's cool to go through the place and see such detail.  Star Wars Chess Smuggler's Run Mission ride! Olivia got a Coke but it's cute how they made it look like a container you'd see on a Star Wars movie. Disney pu
