California!!

We spent an amazing week in Newport Beach, CA last week! My family rented a beach house about 150 yards from the beach and we got to spend the week on the beach and at Disneyland! It was so much fun! We spent one day in Disneyland and it was just as great as I always remember it to be. (I only had to remember back to November since we were just there it seems.) It's a little more fun when you don't have a 1 year old to take care of because you can hit more of the good rides but we still had lots of fun. And Kiley was a trooper. She hardly fussed at all about being in her stroller all day. She is a people watcher and had fun watching all the people go by as we walked 13 miles throughout the day. Yes that's right. Chad's phone has a pedometer in it and it showed we had walked just over 13 miles that day. Which made the next day at the beach that much more relaxing. We spent the rest of the week at the beach and had a great time. It was overcast most of the time which was a plus and minus. Chad was happy because we didn't have to worry about getting burned, but I wished it would have been a tiny bit warmer. The sun did, however, come out as we were leaving to come home.
Kiley loved loved loved the sand! So much that she actually ate a whole bunch of it. And yes! That means she had sandy poop! While at the beach, we learned she is a bully. Her cousin Asher is 7 months older than she and about 10 pounds heavier, but she managed to wrestle him to the ground on multiple occasions. She thought it was absolutely hilarious (as did we), but Asher was not so much a fan. She kept pinning him down and laughing about it. Poor kid might have some self-esteem issues if he sees the video of it when he's older! (Just kidding!) Well, the week was amazing and we had a blast. Kiley had so much fun with the sand and her cute cousin. I wish we were still there, but it's always good to get home too. Thanks family for a great time and thanks Mom and Dad for everything!!!

Beware there are a lot of pictures to follow.
