DAY 1
As soon as we checked into our hotel, we immediately packed up our beach bag and headed straight to Huntington Beach. It was beautiful. We all had a great time getting wet and sandy. The weather was a bit chilly but that didn't keep us from enjoying our time together. We then went back to the hotel and swam in their indoor pool because apparently, we didn't do enough swimming at the beach:)
Day 2
We went to the Utah vs UCLA game held at the famous Rose Bowl Stadium. It was exciting to cheer on my little brother Tenny. He plays defensive tackle for the U and did an amazing job. It was too bad that they lost but it was still so fun to enjoy the game with my family. We met up with some of my family.

Day 3- The Happiest Place On Earth
It was finally time to experience Disneyland and this day could not have come fast enough. We brought along my little brother Tai and left Lincoln with my parents in Las Vegas. It was nice to have Tai with us. He helped out so much and the buddy system worked perfectly, no one was left out! Lincoln was happy to spend time with my parents and was totally spoiled!!! We missed him like crazy but we knew he was in good hands.

Day 4
The kids got into their costumes for the Halloween Bash in Disneyland. We had such a blast! We got loads of candy(8 bags to be exact) and rode every ride more than once and sometimes even three times. The park was at half capacity because of the party which allowed us to enjoy the rides so many times. The firework show was amazing and the workers were so happy and kind, some about poured their entire basket of candy into our bags. We just had so much fun and will probably go in October again.
 |
| Alyia- our sassy witch |
 |
| Tai- as Psy "Gangham Style"- Tai was asked by one of the Disney workers dressed as the scarecrow from Wizard of Oz to do the gangham style dance.The scarecrow had a microphone attached to him and so about everyone in the park heard him talking to Tai. Tai didn't disappoint, he busted out his moves and had everyone cheering. This happened right before the fire work show and so quite a big crowd witnessed this. |
 |
| Jordyn-our cute Dorothy |
 |
| Teni as Luigi |

Day 5
 |
| The kids with Minnie Mouse-Alyia was in heaven. Alyia and Jordyn had been waiting to meet Minnie our entire trip and couldn't stop talking about it. Jordyn unfortunately was out cold in the stroller and missed her opportunity. |
 |
| Alyia was asked by one of the Disney dancers to dance with her during Phineas and Ferbs concert. She didn't hesitate and danced right along. |
Ariel's Grotto
While the boys rode the roller coasters and ate turkey legs for lunch, I took the girls to Ariel's Grotto. The girls were in heaven! They met all their favorite classic princesses without having to wait in line. We also had a yummy lunch and dessert.

| relaxing on the train-we were pooped |
Everyday we arrived at the park at opening, walked back to our hotel for dinner at 4:00, took an hour and a half break at the hotel, and then by 5:30 walked back to Disneyland where we stayed till closing. Our one rule for our family was, everyone must ride all the rides at least once, scared or not. Jordyn braved Tower of Terror but refused to do it twice. If you ask her what her favorite ride was, surprisingly she will tell you, Tower of Terror...lol. Alyia was terrified to go on Space Mountain and Splash Mountain but by the end of the day they were her favorite rides. Our kids were great sports. At the end of our trip our legs were jello and we were exhausted! We were sad to leave California, some of the kids were even in tears, which is just confirmation of how much fun we had. It is good to know that our time and money wasn't wasted but greatly appreciated. We made wonderful memories and we can't wait to do it again.
Side Note: Lincoln decided to start walking while he was with my parents in Las Vegas...the little stinker couldn't wait for his mom and dad:(
