California Dreamin!

Quin had an interview in California so the kids and I packed up and headed down there with him (why not it's 70 degrees there). It was a long drive but well worth it. We got to swim in all the "hot" tubs at the hotels we stayed at (three in all - way too many!), we ate all the fast food we could handle, and we had fun together as a family!

While Quin interviewed in Fresno we swung by Hayley VanBeever's (med school friends) house and hung out with her and the kids. Trey and Luke had so much fun playing in the dirt, and Cohen and Ashie enjoyed fighting over toys to ride. (Thanks Hayley and Will!)


Then we headed down to Anaheim and Disneyland. Quin's sisters were already there hitting all the attractions and willingly changed all their plans to go to Disnleyland with us (thanks!).
We had so much fun and rode all the rides possible for a one day trip. Treydon was ready to go home around noon. He just wanted to go swimming at the hotel (to which I had to remind him this Disneyland adventure does not happen very often and he will get to swim in a pool many times). In the end our favorite ride was Space Mountain. We convinced Treydon we really went into space. After watching Space Dogs (the movie) he thought that was so cool.
On our ride home the kids ate their one souvenier from Disnleyland. This is all they wanted. Treydon has been wanting "a huge lollipop" for over a year now!

I love, love, LOVE Disneyland! I have no idea when we'll be able to take our kids there, but we are definitely planning on doing it a.s.a.p.; Tyler's never even been there and that makes me so sad. Did you ride on the Dumbo ride, and if you did, do remember riding it w/ me almost 10 years ago? :)
