TRIP TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

Chris has been doing some traveling for work this fall and Alex and I were happy to tag along with him to Southern California! We had a great time showing Alex where I grew up, visiting old friends and the best part for him- going to Disneyland!
















Laguna Beach-
unfortunately it was way too cold to get in the water
















Disneyland!! Can you tell how excited Alex is?!!!
















We went on the rides that usually have the longest lines first thing in the morning- Thunder Mountain, Matterhorn... Space Mountain. I couldn't believe Alex was big enough to go on Space Mountain! Alex loved the fast rides so much. I think it ended up spoiling him a little for the others. He didn't understand why the Haunted Mansion, etc.. were such slow rides.































One of Alex's favorite parts (and the one we waited longest for)...
meeting Mickey Mouse. He also loved the parade and meeting Goofy and the other characters.








































My closest friends from high school, Heather and Rhonda and their kids. It was so fun to get to spend time together and have our kids be together.
















Huntington Beach
















Nothing like a west coast sunset

I can't believe you went on all those fast and scarey rides, Alex. I'll bet papa had the best time too. Too bad the ocean was so cold...Good thing you kept mama out of the water. Love, Grammy

So Fun! I'm so glad we got to hang out just us girls and then with all of our kids! Howie is still asking about Alex and when we will see him again!
