Another trip tp Disney

Yep, we are planning another trip to Disney in the near future. Last Fall break we took the kids to Disneyland. After a few days there we enjoyed it so much that we decided to upgrade our tickets to annual passes. So being that we already have our tickets to the park we thought it was about time to return to the "happiest place on earth".

I am also looking forward to seeing the ocean. I LOVE the ocean! I look at the ocean and think of how truly awesome our God is!!

Newport Beach

While we were in California we headed out to enjoy some time at the beach. This time we decided to check out Newport Beach! Oh it was so nice! I could easily live on the beach!!! It was great.




More pics...

Wish I owned one of those beach houses in the back ground. ;)





Watching the waves and the sunset.

Finding the seashells.

Watching the surfers.

Back to school after fall break

Yep, that is right, we are back to the grind!

Being on a year round school schedule we get a 2 week fall break. It was a most needed and relaxing time. The first week we spent at home doing absolutely NOTHING! It was great. I actually went a full 2 weeks without filling the car up with gas. That has not happened in a long time.

The second week of break we decided to hit the road and travel to our usual vacation destination...Southern California. This time in CA we headed to Anaheim to see Mickey! Yep, Disneyland! It has been a few years since we were there last so we thought...oh what the heck! :) It was a great time. They have opened a couple new rides since we were there last. The boys have grown since then, too, so we ALL got to enjoy a few rides together as a family. No more height restrictions anymore. Yea!! The one ride with the tallest height restriction is the Maliboomer and I can not remember how many times we rode that thing. Whew! It was fun but there are only so many times that you can be shot straight up in the air.

Here are some pics...



It's Halloween time ALL over at Disneyland!


One of the favorite rides...


Waiting for Autopia.

The boys discovered Pin Trading while we were there. Here is Kyle with his first 2 pins that he traded. He had many more by the time the week was over. I have to admit, it is fun!


The boys in the dog pound.

The boys with one of their favorite characters. (Chip or Dale...not sure which one it is.)

In the "O" of "CALIFORNIA".

On another one of the favorite rides...Big Thunder Mountain Railroad! ...in the back of the train of course!
