California/Disneyland

With the annual Dental Convention in Disneyland, the girls and I have tagged along and get to enjoy the perks.  We spent the good part of the week in California, Disneyland, California Adventure, and the beach.  It was beautiful, warmer than usual, but wonderful!

My brother, Taylor, had just gotten home from his mission and joined us in our fantastic adventures. It was so nice to have another adult to help with the kids and make it so we could enjoy all the rides too!

My settings were way off on the lighting here.  Oops. 

The three princesses... Elsa, Snow White, and Rapunzel.

 Splash Mountain. 

Ariel 

 Goofy

 Aurora

 Jessy

The petting zoo was one of Kensie's highlights... that and the tea cups.  

Snow White 

 Mulan

 Belle

Merida 

 Syd's first love... Doc McStuffins (but was scared to death for some reason to see her). 

 Macy's favorite line.... "Mom takes a picture of me."

In line to see the Monster's Inc Ride.  

Even though we had fast passes to see Elsa and Anna, we still had to wait in line for 45 minutes.  It was definitely worth it in the end.   

 Kensie rode the carousel at least six times while Macy rode Scream.  They still talk about it 3... 2... 1... Scream.  Macy loved every single ride in Disneyland and California Adventure.  

Tim joined us in California Adventure the second day after he finished up at his Convention.  

 Olaf and Arendelle were amazing.  Syd loves Olaf and wants to dress up as Olaf for Halloween this year. They had real snow and we even had a little snowball fight. 

Newport Beach, CA 

 We love the ocean and the beach, the sand between our toes, and the freeze of the ocean water.  The day we spent at the beach was chilly enough they didn't swim for long but it still felt great. 

The whole reason we went to California.  The CDA convention for this handsome Dentist.
