Disneyland and California Again

I love blogging because it reminds me how blessed my life is. One great thing about living in Arizona is that we are only 5 1/2 hours from San Diego and Mike's parents, so we get to visit often. We are so glad that Chris and Cassy are always willing to interrupt their life to come see us too.

Our family was lucky enough to do the "Give a Day, Get a Day," Disneyland promotion so we headed down for spring break with 3 free tickets. It was our best trip yet! The weather was perfect, we got there early, the lines were pretty short, we rode every ride we wanted to, the dads had a good attitude, I ran our day like a sargent to maximize our fun, my boys were tall enough for most rides and brave enough for them all. It really was a magical trip!






















Jace and Chaz even got picked for Jedi training!





Parker adored Uncle Chris and Chris was so good to him. They even snuggled for The Princess and the Frog.

We of course had to hit the beach. It was warm, sunny and the kids even played in the water. James could spend hours and hours alone at the beach. The dad's played bocce ball, football and built sandcastles while the moms enjoyed a little chatting time. We all left with tired smiles and a bit of a suntan.







James really wanted to try boogie boarding



Jace, after a cool swim in the freezing ocean...


Thanks Mimi and Papa for another perfect weekend. We love you!

You guys are soooo lucky you live so close to your family! That is the biggest thing I miss being so far away. Love the Disney pictures---we just did Disney in Hong Kong as well. It truly is a magical place. Love reading your blog and keeping in touch with you guys!!

I LOVE that you can go see your family so often & they are on one of the greatest places on earth...SAN DIEGO!! You guys know how to live it up on a visit. We too did the give a day get a day & can't wait to go use our tickets this year as a family. I am so glad you had such a great time. It is a good day when the kids are tall enough AND brave enough.

PS: You hair looks sooo cute!!
