California Fun

We spent a week in Newport Beach with some of my family. We stayed in a beach house that was beautiful. We walked out the front door and our feet hit the sand. My 2 cousins have kids also and our kids had a ball together. It was such a great week. Thanks to all that we shared it with. We went to Medieval Times for the dinner show and the kids cheered hard for our blue knight. We had a great dinner that we had to eat with our hands. Here are all the kids together.

It is nice to travel with other people so that you can have a picture of your whole family too!


We also went deep sea fishing. There were a lot of fish being caught on the boat and only one sickness from our party. We all had a great time.



There is Natalee's long fish, but it was not fat enough to keep. But it was a beauty.




Here is Carson's prize winning fish. I don't know why but they made us throw that one back too. My uncle cooked the ones up that we were able to keep and that was some seriously good fish.





One guy caught this starfish and then let the kids all take pictures with it. They loved it.






This guy was right out front of Disneyland and this is the team that Carson played for in Baseball. He thought that was pretty cool.







Here is 10 of the 14 people we were with at Disneyland. We had a great time.








After 16 days on the road Matt was missing work so we stopped by the Post Office in Toon Town.









This was at the Discovery Science Center in California. Who wouldn't want a picture of their kids in a nostril?










Here is Natalee and Hailee on the beach in Newport. They played with all this wonderful ocean stuff. The beach was a little piece of heaven.











Here we are at Lego Land. We didn't even get through half of it in one day. The kids loved every minute of it.












We went on this ride over 4 times in a row. It was hilarious. You had to pump the truck back and forth and then get to the water pumps and jump out and pump those also until you put the fire out. Then you jumped back in and pumped it back to the beginning. There were major bets on the winners of each round.
