Well, we were finally able to take a family trip to California - we've been trying to do it for a while now. Boy did I need it! We had the chance to spend lots of time with our great friend Pancho, and 5 days in Disneyland - I know, a lot! But, I loved it. I think the kids did too... :) Dusty on the other hand was done by day 1. But, he was a great sport and let us do what we wanted.

We drove down on Saturday and stayed in Vegas - which the kids hated for some reason. We didn't even do anything. Maybe it was the wind, I don't know. Then we continued to California on Sunday and met Pancho and Michael at their house for dinner. It was great - they cooked us an amazing meal and the kids LOVED playing with Wesley (their dog). I'm pretty sure Wesley slept well that night!

Monday was our first day in Disneyland. It was so much fun. The kids were in heaven and were even hugging each other - weird!! Pancho was able to go with us for a few hours and have lunch with us.

Tuesday was another day in Disneyland. We also met Pancho in Downtown Disney for lunch. On Wednesday, we spent half a day in California Adventures. It was fun, but not as exciting as Disneyland. They were doing a lot of work on that park so some rides were closed. We then went back to the hotel and let the kids swim. We went back to Disneyland that night.

On Thursday Dusty wanted to go to the beach. It was FREEZING! We thought it would be warm because the weather was great, but it was super windy. We only stayed for a few hours and then met our friend Lindsey for lunch (she works with Dusty and just moved to Huntington Beach - lucky!!). We had dinner that night at California Pizza Kitchen with Pancho! It was fun and the kids actually behaved themselves!

Friday we were again in Disneyland, but we did sleep in that morning!! On Saturday Bree, Myles and me went to Disneyland early to go to Mickey's Toon Town. Dusty and Jack met us for lunch and then we headed home. I was not ready to leave, but we had to get back to the real world.
We had a great time. I can't wait until we do it again! It was great being with just the family and spending so much time with Pancho - we love the time we have with him!

(here's a ton of pictures, sorry...) Oh, and you have to check out Myles' hair in his beach photo - classic!!
