Mine and Logan's summer travels took another stop this past week. My family, all 21 of us, went to Newport Beach and had a great time! It doesn't happen often that we all get together at the same time, especially with one of my brothers and his family living in Minnesota. We went on this same trip a couple years ago and had a ton of fun so we've been looking forward to going again for quite a while. We spent a couple days in Disneyland/California Adventure and the rest of the week hanging out at the pool and on the beach. Rather than bore you with too many words, I'll let the pictures do the talking.
We love the condos we stay in! They are right by the beach, a short drive to Disneyland and offer this fantastic view from our balcony:
For those of you that aren't familiar with Big Thunder Ranch in Disneyland, it's an all-you-can-eat BBQ restaurant that most of us tried for the first time. Prepare to be messy when you're finished eating!
Goofy's Kitchen is always a good time, especially for the kiddos! The 7:00am reservation is a bit early but is definitely worth it! Unfortunately 3 people weren't able to make it for the picture.

| I could take pictures of this little peanut all day long! |
 |
| There aren't many better ways to entertain the kids than spending the day at the beach! |
 |
| Logan practically lived in the ice-cold water boogie boarding! He talked me into joining him for a mere few minutes each day. |
 |
| We love Crystal Cove Beach! (And most importantly, the Shake Shack!) |
 |
Two of our favorite rides! (I promise I wasn't really that scared on Splash Mountain) |

We had such a fun week and are so sad it's over! Many thanks to my parents for such a fabulous vacation!
Great pictures and it looks like you guys had a fun trip. The view from the condo balcony is so pretty, makes me wish I was at the beach!
ReplyDeleteI love your photo history and wish we could spend a week at the ocean once a month! I think that Eli loved watching his mom and dad laughing in the sunshine.
ReplyDeleteThat picture of you and Logan at Big Thunder Ranch with the napkins tucked in your shirts is adorable! And you two are suuuuper tan, jealous. Glad you had such a fun trip!
