Disneyland

 We haven't been to Disneyland since Kellan was two
so we had this planned since last summer since I knew the kids had
huge break for President's day. Well Kellan has pretty much been on breathing 
treatments for a month for his caugh but of course got a fever the day before we 
left and so we took him in just in case and he was testing for the flu and was positive for type B
so the whole family got to be on Tamiflu for 10 days, his fever broke and off we went with a medicine cabinet full of medicine that had to stay in the fridge, breathing machines, and the whole nine yards! BUT this guy was not happy about it one single bit! 
 since the prices went way up, we did 2 days instead of 3 and did 
one park a day. Kids had a blast! The longest we waited was maybe 20 minutes. 
Mia tortured me for missing a day of school though -- Valentine's day and I will never take her 
out of school again. She just gets too much anxiety about it which is silly but I can't blame her.
I didn't miss a day from Kinder- Graduation. INSANE. 
Kellan LOVED California Adventure and this ride especially and the Soaring over the World.





 We actually went on a few rides I've never been on. 
This Star Wars one was really fun.. 

end of first day happy with their gifts! 
 sums up Mia and Kellan- he's always hugging and she's not :) 
 Cars Ride- I love this because it looks like Kellan has ears 
and Rick is in the back smiling. Mia went on this 5 times, 
Kellan didn't like the way his stomach felt on the hills but loved the rest.








Kellan loved that he put his hand on his head. 










 Mia and dad 




Mia did the same thing as Kellan when we went to Disney 
OBSESSED with maps.. had to decide everywhere we went 


 We headed to the beach to Rubys by Crystal Cove 
the weather was amazing , warmer than it is in the summer
we couldn't get over it
 we went to Crystal Cove and then to Newport Beach 






 we thought this was was a perfect pic Mia took til we realized Mia chopped
Rick's head off haha

 we actually stayed at the Marriott  Bayview hotel in Newport
and even though it was a little farther from the beach it was really nice!

! Mia's favorite part was that the chef made her these every day so she was happy! 


 and we even got to go to the Crab Cooker!
We had a blast and everyone stayed healthy :)
I told Rick maybe we will go back to Disney when Kellan is 8!
It's just so expensive, kids had fun but loved the beach even more. 
Til Next time!! 



Iceskating


 I took the kids to Build a Bear with some 
giftcards I've had forever. It was Kellan's first time
He loved it of course!







 then we decided to take the kids to the top of 
the Cosmo hotel to iceskate. Mia demanded a helmet like
Kellan and was freaked out the whole time talking about safety haha
Kellan did really good for his first time and couldn't figure out why
he couldn't just let go and run around the ice and not fall...






they had these super cool pushing things for kids to learn on
Rick and I didn't fall so that was definitely a plus!!
