March 2010 - Spring Break - Disney and the Beach



O.K. I know it has been awhile!! I will try to do better!! Anyhow, we wanted to share some fun pictures from Spring Break. We had been planning for awhile to finally go to Disneyland!! Actually, we were going to go last year, but the contract fell through on selling our Utah house. After seeing the the disappointment last year on our kids faces, we didn't tell them our plans this year in case real estate issues would strike again (those of you that don't know we have been trying to buy the home we are currently living in for over 9 months now... that's a whole another story!!)

Anyways, we just told the kids we were going to visit G & G Vehar in Arizona, but were going to go another way to see if it was shorter. Needless to say, 16 hours later the kids all agreed that it was taking way longer than it should. We pulled up to the Disney Gate and said we are here. At first the kids didn't know what was going on and Phoenix started crying saying, "where is grandma and grandpa and what is Disneyland!" However, soon enough they were very excited and had a wonderful time the next two days in Disneyland! Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Shannon and cousins were able to come with us as well. Thanks to them for letting us in on some helpful Disney Tips!!!


Aspen and Phoenix were worn out!! Only 5 minutes in the car and they were sleeping!!
So Cute!!
















The next day we went to Huntington Beach. The kids loved it, not ever being at a beach before - at least that they could remember. I enjoyed it as well - it happened to be my birthday, it was a perfect way to celebrate it. Phoenix asked me "how the waves know he is there because they keep coming after him!" After we spent awhile there we drove 5 more hours to AZ and spent 3 days spending time with Grandma and Grandpa Vehar and cousins!! We had a wonderful time and the kids are asking when they get to go again.
