California!!!

We just got back from our super fun trip to California!  We had such a fun time and wish we could still be there.  We stayed in Newport Beach and went to Disneyland one day, Addie continues to ask when we are going again :)  I have so many pictures that I find it will be easier to show what we did then tell it...
We went swimming in our hotel pool once, it was a bit chilly!

We walked around the hotel grounds, complete with a golf course, volleyball sandpit, ping pong tables, and shuffleboard.  We were never bored :)

We went to the beach several times, Izze didn't love the water, but loved the sand.  Addie loved the water and sand.  I loved watching the waves and Andrew loved jumping into the waves.

 We ate at Ruby's Diner on the pier at Newport Beach.  It was so fun to sit there and watch the ocean while waiting for our food. 

We also enjoyed walking along the pier and watching all the fishermen.  Did I mention Izze is walking now???  Yep, she started a few weeks ago and is getting better each day!

We also went to Disneyland for a day.  Addie loved it, Izze loved it, I loved it, and I think Andrew just tolerated it :)  I thought Addie would be all for the rides since she loves Lagoon, but she was more about seeing Sleeping "Cutie" (this is what she calls Sleeping Beauty) and all the other princesses.  We started the day with the traditional picture...

 I was surprised at how many rides Izze could go on, her favorite one was the merry-go-round, of course.

Addie loved the parade and was excited to be able to dance in it too!  We enjoyed it so much we watched it twice :)

I thought all of the princesses would be in the parade, they were not.  Addie was very distraught that she had not seen her princesses by late afternoon.  We went on a princess search and after a princess show and waiting in line for princess photos we were able to see all of the princesses, except Jasmine.  (Luckily Jasmine was in the Fantasmic show later that night.)

Izze was just content to be able to get her hands on some merchandise!

We had a lot of fun at Disneyland and I personally can't wait to go again!

This was Izze trying to wake up the whole hotel on our final morning.  She was talking so loud and wandering around aimlessly, it was hilarious.
