Huntington Beach

The day after Disney Land we woke up and headed to the beach. The water was pretty cold but we still had a great time playing in the sand and water. 






 Jackson is always intrigued with the kelp. 









 

 So cold!



 They buried Javen alive!
 We were so salty and sandy we walked around till we found some showers to wash off in. 

 Then they laid out on the cement to try and warm up. 
 There was a big long pier that we walked out on but the kids were freezing so we didn't make it very far till they all laid out on the hot cement again.

Disney Land!!

Randy and I decided to take the kids to Disney Land. We loaded up 3 of his kids and my 3 kids Sunday after church and headed to California. 
 Anna wanted to be in Bailee's room with her but I talked her into staying with me. 



 We woke up early to walk do Disney Land when it opened at 8 am. 
 Javen and Jackson
 The first thing the boys saw were huge statues built out of Lego's and they thought that was the coolest thing. 


 We were waiting for Randy to go rent a couple strollers right inside the gate. 
 One of the favorite rides was Buzz Light Year - and you get to wear these cool 3D glasses.


 The longest line we waited in was probably an hour so we didn't think that was too bad. Most were about 30 - 45 minutes. 

 While Randy took Bailee, Javen and Isaac on Space Mountain I took Gage, Jackson and Anna on It's a Small World and this one where you go on a little boat through the mouth of that whale!
 It's a small world
 Mr. Toad's Wild Ride was super fun. 
 I had never been into Toon Town but there were lots of fun little rides in there. Anna's favorite was the roller coaster and Star Tours. 


 Taking turns in the strollers. 

 Pirates of the Caribbean is my favorite. 

 Anna is lucky that Bailee would hold her a lot. 



 When everyone was getting hungry we decided to wait for the big paddle wheel boat and eat our lunch we packed on it. 
 I was taking everyones picture when this funny guy came up and started telling us jokes and said he would take our picture and then he took a selfie. 


 This is the cool boat we rode on. 

 Tarzans Tree House. 




 Takin a little break. 
 I had never seen the parade. We got there early so we could get a spot on the curb and waited and waited. 

 But it was worth it. 
 Anna especially thought so when she got to see the princesses but she said, "Aren't they going to give me a little hug?"


 This one actually scared me a little bit but the kids loved it!

 We waited in line for Space Mountain for about 30 minutes and then they told us they had to work on it and they didn't know how long it would be so we gave up and went and got some dinner. 

 Next we waited in line to drive some little cars. Anna and Jackson giving thumbs up. 
 Anna and Bailee
 I rode with Jackson, he was a good driver!

 Anna was so excited when she got to get a little princes purse with gloves and clip on earrings. 

 Gage and Isaac got light sabers and Jackson got a bubble blower. 
 At about 8:30pm we found a spot to wait for the fireworks that they do at the castle at 9:20pm
 They were awesome!!
After that everyone was pretty much tired out. We had to wake Anna and Gage up so they could walk the half mile back to the hotel. We spent 14 straight hours at Disney Land and it was an amazing day!!
