We found a chapel near Knotts Berry Farm where we were staying and went to church. After church we headed to a park to spend the afternoon.

The LARGE Legos were a big hit. All of the kids enjoyed building and playing in buildings that others had built:

We played on the playground and with the sidewalk chalk. When we’d chilled the afternoon away we left and headed for our Hotel across from DISNEYLAND!! We checked in and ordered pizza and got everything ready for an early Disney morning. And we all went to bed early.

It all started with a boring 9 hour car drive in our well packed and loaded 12 passenger van. We left the house about 4:45pm after school and work. We headed south on the I-15 and raced to California. We stopped at Wendy’s for dinner and the kids stayed up until 10 or 11pm and we got to the hotel at 2am which is really 1am local time.

SEAL BEACH, CALIFORNIA

We spent most of the day Saturday at the beach. Everyone loved it. The waves were magical. The temperature was perfect. We snacked, played soccer, went on a walk, read my book, and kept coming back to play in the water and sand. When we were all exhausted we drove to our next hotel and swam in the pool and changed before heading out for a late dinner.
