Family Vacation!

Last week we had such a fun time. We were able to go on a family vacation to Southern California. It was so much fun, and it was so nice to be together. Here are some pictures of our adventures.



Here we are on our first day of vacation. Levi went out on a 5 hr fishing trip, and I took the kids out on a 2 hour whale watching tour. Here we are waiting for our boats to leave.



Here is Levi waiting to go fishing. He ended up catching two fish and said it was a lot of fun and wants to go again one day.



This is the only picture we got when we were whale watching, and this was before we even left. The batteries in the camera died. We had a lot of fun though, we got to see lots of dolphins and sea lions. Tanna loved the sea lions. Tayton thought it was pretty silly that we didn't get to see any whales, he told me they should call it dolphin watching, not whale watching. I thought he made a good point. We just had a fun time going out in the ocean.



Mom look, it is a real pirate ship. This ship left the same time our whale watching boat left. Tayton thought it was so neat. He said the ship was going out to battle and he wanted to watch it battle. The rest of the day we just played at the beach.



End of day one, as you can tell Tayton was passed out, but Tanna was still having fun.


Day 2 was spent at Disneyland. It was super crowded but so much fun! We took Tayton on the Matterhorn first, not the smartest idea to take your kid on the scariest ride first. Tayton is not a big fan of the abominable snowman.


Tayton on the Buzz Lightyear ride, he loved it!


Tanna has been big into Mickey and Minnie Mouse. She was in awe when she saw Mickey. She loved it.


Tayton got a big kiss and hug from Mickey.


It was only a 45 minute wait in line for this picture. We decided we would just wave to Minnie Mouse and the rest of the characters during the parade.


Me and my princess.


Tayton had to get a picture with Jack Sparrow in the background.


Getting ready to ride Pirates of the Caribbean. That was by far Taytons favorite. He is still talking about it.


I am having so much fun even though I can barely keep my eyes open. She ended up falling asleep in my arms and slept why we waited in lines. It worked out pretty good.


These two boys keep getting into trouble. I wish I had this at home.



Finally, we get to get out of the line and on this fun boat.


Showing dad the hippos on the jungle cruise.


End of day 2, as you can tell we wore him out again.


Tanna after watching all the fireworks. She was so tired, but I know she loved it.


Day 3 we decided to go to China town. It was fun, we had some really good Chinese food, but driving in LA traffic was not the best. It was worth the drive though.


Tanna having a blast.


Tayton having fun in China town. He had a lot of fun looking through at all the toys to buy. He has been saving his $ and he picked out a toy machine gun that lights up. I like China towns prices alot better then Disneylands.


Tanna just looking so cute, like she always does.



Just a neat fountain in the background.


Then after China town, we all wanted to go back and play on the beach.


Levi and Tayton out playing in the waves.


Levi helping Tanna run in and out of the waves, she loved it.


Tayton had lots of fun building sand castles.


She looks so big in this picture. She loved playing in the sand.

We had such a great time, and can't wait to go again. Oh and I made my blog public again so hopefully creepy Malaysia man won't come back.
