CALIFORNIA VACATION 2009



This past August we took a trip to California. We had a wonderful time and cannot wait to go back. My Mom also came with us and it was fun to have her. We flew from Salt Lake to Long Beach. The boys thought the airplane was pretty awesome. The looked adorable pulling their luggage through the airport.





We bought 3 day park hopper tickets for Disneyland and California Adventures. The boys had so much fun and they LOVED the roller coasters. Their favorite rides at Disneyland were Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, Indiana Jones (Brady wasn't tall enough) and the Matterhorn. Their favorite rides at California Adventures were Big Bear Rapids, Soain' California and Bugs Life. Broc really like Tower of Terror, but Brady hated it! Broc was disappointed when he was 1" to short to ride California Screamin. Next time he will be tall enough. We had a blast and can't wait to go back.































After we had had enough of "the happiest place on earth", we headed for long beach. We went to the queen Mary and the Aquarium of the Pacific. The Queen Mary was much to be desired. I think it was a waste of money and it was much cooler when I was a kid, but Brady really enjoyed it. The aquarium however was amazing and worth every penny. We spent hours in there and the boys loved every second of it!
























We spent several days enjoying the sun and surf at both Hunnington and Laguna Beach. The weather was perfect and the boys loved playing in the sand, searching for shells and playing in the ocean. It was absolutely beautiful and so relaxing. I am definitely ready to go back!


























We had a wonderful time in California. We kept very busy and we definitely wore our kids out.
