What an impressive facility. Kids loved it and so did we. Definitely lived up to the hype it has been getting.

C.A.L.I.F.O.R.N.I.A.

Spring break is here! We decided to head to Cali for a visit to Grandma Barbara. We also decided to drive this time - wow, we've never been in a car for longer than a 5 hour drive, so we were put to the test. Between dvd's, ipad's, ipod's and ds's, it wasn't bad at all, and the kids were very patient. On the way down we stopped at Matt's Aunt Marylynn's to spend the night. She was so kind to us, like always, and it was nice to break up the drive. The hustle and bustle of California is always interesting. So many people!

The first thing the boys did after arriving was check the chickens to see if there were any fresh eggs to gather. The boys got brave and were able to pick up the hen.

Disneyland is always fun, but what makes it funner is when your children understand what is going on and can really enjoy it. Mackay was TOTALLY in to the trip and was loving every second. His favorite ride was the Nemo ride. He would go crazy everytime he saw a character.

We woke up at 5:30am to head to DL, we left the park at midnight and headed to Grandma's house. Yes it was a long day and though Maxwell swore he wouldn't sleep through it, he lasted till about 11:30 and then crashed.

Matt's favorite ride in the whole world - It's a small world. He always jokes that he needs to bring his shotgun for this ride as the figures would be great target practice...

Day 3 we headed to Newport Beach. We couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather...
