Newport Beach

 Mia and I were able to got to Disneyland with Nicole's family

We were in Carsland for half the day almost. It's so cool! 

 Luigi's tires

 It honestly looks just like Radiator Springs, so awesome with

cars just going down the rode.

 We met up with Nicole, Kevin, and the kids and they convinced

Mia to go on a little canoe ride aka Splash Mt. I was able to get 

a picture. Look at her face, she's right behind Nicole!

 Buzz lightyear

 Autopia

 We spent every day besides Disneyland day at the beach.

We ended up having to buy Mia a rash guard long sleeve to wear

because she gets so burned in the Cali sun.. She LOVED the beach this

year, and so did all the other cousins especially Marlee.

 Bre came for a few days and was saying that Kyse didn't like the water,

so Brooke took him in and he loved it. I guess it just took someone besides his mom.

 Rick and Mia

 Kellan wasn't sure about the water, he would make 

a really sad cry when the waves came or his toes got wet...

 cousin Laith: he is still in his cast so he couldn't get wet,

just a few more weeks!!

 moms and babies.. Minus Marlee she was napping

 these pics are out of order but this is at the condo

 
 Rick and I

 
 Chris, Brooke, and Marlee

 Hailey, Scott, Mia, and Ari

 back to the beach...

 attempt at a grandkid pic- pretty sure Kyse was crying in the last one

haha . That's him in the sand..

 Crystal Cove- these two are like an old married couple. They hold

hands 99% of the time, it's the cutest thing ever. Mia even sat on his lap while 

eating her dinner a few times. She LOVED Scott so much and he puts up with her

constant affection. She was so concerned about him when he was boogie boarding and afterwards

ran up and told him he did such a great job and was patting his back. Too cute!

 Looking for creatures with grandma

 Mia and Hailey

 what do you think they are talking about? haha

 dancing on the beach. What is this going to be like when they are 15?

 sorry Disney again

 Mia was really mad at Rick because he dunked her head

in the water, she couldn't keep a mad face though..

2 of us just had babies...

 mom and sisters.

 holding hands again

 and again

 look how cute these four are!

 getting yummy icecream in Laguna

 and of course candy at the candy store

 this is a funny story: she saw this lobster in the candy store

and wanted it because it had a baby attached and everything.

I said no.. She talked about it the rest of the week and so I finally

said if you can't find anything at Disneyland , we can come see if it's still

there ( there was only one left) Well she obviously really wanted it because 

she walked away from Disney with a $5 car in hopes that we could find this lobster, so 

we went back and got it. ugh another stuffed animal. Maybe my house can just house every stuffed

animal in the city. 

 this is the face I had to deal with..

 Scott and Mia

 finding sand crabs

 Kevin and Nicole taking a 5 minute breather: the beach is 

ALOT of work with little kids . ALOT

 these two...

 tons of shells

 Since Kellan stayed home with dad, we thought we would put some ears on him the next day.. 

 It was a great week, sun EVERY day which is unusual.. Tons

of beach time and sister/family time. Kellan will be older next year and hopefully

wanting to play in the sand. Super fun trip!!!
