California Vacation...

We had an awesome time on our vacation to California. We decided not to give Colton, Cannon, and Crew any presents for their birthdays this year and take a trip to Disneyland instead. It was definitely a fun way to celebrate and I know it is something they will always remember. We actually flew out on Cannon's birthday and had fun celebrating our first night there. We were able to stay at my sister Megan and her husband Todd's home and they were the perfect hosts. The kids favorite part was Disneyland, but we were able to do lots of fun things while we were there. Crew thought most of the rides were SCARY, but that never seemed to stop him from going on the rides again. I think his favorite part was meeting the characters and watching the parades. Colton was brave and conquered his fear of roller coasters and Screaming became his favorite at Disneyland. Cannon is our daredevil, but does not like spooky rides and still hated Tower of Terror, but was so excited about his Pluto souvenir hat and still hasn't taken it off except for school. The kids loved trading pins at Disneyland for the 2nd time and were so excited about the pins they came home with. It was so fun to see Crew experience his first beach. He loved the waves and sand and would love to run to the water and run away as the wave would come in. Colton and Cannon were in heaven seeing their favorite baseball team (the Colorado Rockies) play the Dodgers while we were there. We were excited because we scored $2.00 tickets on Stubhub for $40.00 seats. The boys also loved the swimming pool at Megan and Todd's apartment and spent many hours swimming. We got to eat at some yummy restaurants and enjoyed a couple relaxing days too. The weather was perfect the whole time we were there and was able to enjoy mid 70 temperatures each day. It was a perfect vacation even if Crew had a few meltdowns here and there ;) My Mom and Dad kept Creed, we missed him, but I think he had fun with Grandma and Grandpa.
