    No Comments

    We had a lazy morning playing with cousins and taking showers:

    And then off to the Sacramento temple! The sealing was really nice. President Weldon Papa was the sealer. The newly weds were very cute and happy. I am excited for them! Here we all are waiting for them to come out of the temple:

    And then straight to the reception! They did a ring ceremony and then dinner and chocolate fountain and dancing at the end!

    It was a beautiful day! We cleaned the church and then stayed up packing and playing cause we had to leave the next morning.

    Friday – Sacramento

    We woke up and got donuts and drove North all day. LA gas prices with an empty tank!! I drove so that Ben could jump on a few work meetings. The kids crashed out and played video games. We ate Tbell for lunch and then we got to Grandma’s/The Lewis’s at about 5:00. We said hi to everyone and then headed to the church to meet Renae’s family and set up for the reception!

    The boys carried Ryan off for a bachelors night!

    The girls put kids to bed and played some Funny Heads Up –

    Balboa Beach Thursday April 7

    No Comments

    After 3 days of Disney we went to relax at the beach. We slept in and packed up and headed off to the coast. The cousins had a place at Balboa so we went there this time! We brought sub sandwiches and snacks and boogie boards!

    And a few more shots. We really had a relaxing time. We tried to boogie board. Built sand castles. Took a nap. Flew a kite. Chill.

    We were craving milk shakes so we said goodbye to cousins and headed to dinner and our hotel for the night. We ordered dinner and LARGE shakes to go. The SHAKES were HUGE! We were all too full to touch our burgers and fries! We checked into our Suite and went to the swimming pool and fell asleep watching TV.

    Off to find whatever rides had short early morning lines!!

    4:00 Incredicoaster

    Maters Junkyard – 4:20

    Monsters Inc – 5:00

    Then we met up with the cousins! and all “slept” on the incredicaoster:

    Back to Goofy at 7:30 – where I got so mad that they let single riders on and messed up all of our cousin groups! and 9:00 Toy Story Mania!

    Then back to do one more COASTER!!

    And of course one more GUARDIANS – but I snuck over to Cars Land! 10:00pm

    Goodbye California Adventure!

    And we’ve got an hour and a half left at Disney! and Ben still needs to buy his helmet souvenir!

    California Adventure!

    No Comments

    April 5, Tuesday – California Adventure Park!

    And we raced with EVERYONE else over to Cars Land!! It’s such a good ride. No fast pass unless you pay extra. We waited 40 minutes but the rest of the day it’s closer to 80 minutes.

    And then the day unravels from there…

    INCREDI-COASTER! We all went on it! First time for Packer, Rose, Ray, Millie and Tiago!! and everyone LOVED it!

    and then we made our way around the “lake”. And we did Soarin over California at some point.

    And then the long awaited and much anticipated GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY!

    I was the only one that didn’t enjoy it! Tiago was holding on and shaking the whole time but he said he LOVED it and he went on it several more times! All of the kids and Ben were raving about it. I just felt claustrophobic and trapped and out of control. After that we met up with the cousins and did some of the smaller rides like Jelly Fish and Goofy… I don’t remember for sure but we ended up over at the IncrediCoaster again!

    Then we waited in line for the new Spider Man. It was our longest wait of the day. A solid hour. But its a new ride and we wanted to do it together and it was a pretty cool web shooting “experience”! Then we met up to do Guardians with ALL of the cousins.

    We were do for dinner or at least a snack so we got ice cream cones!

    And then back to the Incredicoaster – 8:30pm

    And then we finally did Toy Story Mania – 9:00pm. After that we only had an hour left so we did Goofys sky school and made our way out of the park.

    We debated on going over to Disney for an hour and a half but we decided to call it a day and get another early start on Wednesday. We had such a fun day but we were wiped out!
