Summer Vacation

Madelyn loved the beach a lot.

Samuel went to the beach for the 1st time and wasn't so sure of it. I think he liked it in the end.

The girls had a great time. But got some major sand wedgies.

Samuel was really not so sure about the beach and was very concerned about his sandy feet.

We went to Disneyland and had a blast! Maddi was so brave and went on almost all the rides that she could. Bailee had a great time too. They love Disneyland.

Maddi even got to fight that bad guy. And was trained to be a Jedi Knight!

Samuel really liked the Dumbo ride. I think that might have been his favorite part. At the very end of the day he kept yelling that he wanted to go home right now! Maybe it wasn't his most happiest place on earth.

This is the O from the CALIFORNIA in front of the California Disney park. Yup, pretty cool.

Bailee with the most sought after character in Disneyland. Mickey is one of Samuels favorites but was really done with the whole Disney experience so he didn't take his picture with him. But Bailee did and can you believe that she is almost as tall as Mickey? Crazy!

We had such a great time visiting with everyone. And even the kids were good in the car. It really was a great vacation.

The End to a Perfect Summer

A day full of fun always ends with a few sleeping kids. She had so much fun dancing and playing she passed out in the bus before we got back to our room.

Here is Sam and me. Those of you who don't know Sam, she is my best friend, we've known each other since High School and have remained BFF ever since. She looked so beautiful and the wedding was so amazing. She did a fantastic job. Congrats Sam and Jason!

Here's our happy family. We took so many photos of us and this was the only one that turned out half way decent. Look at us aren't we spiffy looking? Hahahaha!

We had an amazing experience. One of them was having our hair and makeup done for the big day. Bailee and Madelyn thought that was really fun. We all felt like princesses.
