Newport

Back in April we were able to go to Newport with my family. We got there on Friday and right away we had to go and check out the resort.

Our first day we spent getting settled buying groceries, etc. That night we went and ate at Ruby's, an old fashioned burger and shake joint.
After that we couldn't stay away from the beach any longer. Even though it was getting dark we had to go and check it out. Camree went back to the car with Neema because she was too cold. We forgot how chilly it could be in April.
Sunday we went to church right next to the Newport Temple.
The kids loved these flowers.


The sun was too bright for Camree so she had to wear Daddy's glasses.
That night the girlies wanted to take a bath in the giant tub. They had so much fun splashing and playing.

By Monday we were ready to swim!
The kids had to swim with Dad because I thought it was way too cold!
Drae and Camree loved playing in the kiddie pool.
Later we went to Huntington Beach for dinner and a walk down the pier.
The sister's and Mom. Breanne and Chris couldn't come we missed them.
The Girls
The boys
We saw this seal and Kyson was obsessed with trying to figure out if it was dead or not. It wouldn't swim it was just sitting there floating. I had to put this picture in for him for the book.
I love this picture of my two handsome men!
Tuesday we were off to Disneyland! First thing we saw when we got there was Goofy. The kids were so excited.
Kyson loved the Buzz Lightyear ride.

Camree, the chicken, even liked it too.
All of us with our glasses on for the Micheal Jackson tribute.
Kyson was so funny he kept trying to touch anything that seemed like it was right in front of your face. He liked it so much he wanted to watch the movie again.
All Camree wanted to do was find a princess. We waited in line for an hour! When we got to the front of the line Rob told Camree we had to wait another hour and she said,"That's ok I'll wait all night if I have to!" First was Belle.
Ariel
Their favorite princess was Tiana.

Kyson with Mikelle on It's a Small World. This was one of their favorite rides. An oldie but a goodie.


The kids couldn't wait to give Minnie a hug!

Next was Mickey.
Kyson loved the Tarzan tree house.

We had such a fun time at Disneyland. The kids loved it! It was the perfect time of year to go the longest we had to wait in line for a ride was 30 minutes and it was only on Neemo. Everything else was 10 minutes or less.
After a busy day at Disneyland we were ready to relax and play on the beach. The first thing Kyson did was chase after the seagulls.
Of course Camree followed her brother.

Camree was a little afraid of the moving water. She would go up to the ocean but as soon as a wave would come she would come running back to the beach.
Kyson loved popping the bubbles in the seaweed.


Kyson doing a "sand" angel.






The kids with Drae.
Camree with her Daddy. She is such a Daddy's girl right now.



That night the boys got some steak and we had a BBQ back at the resort.

Thursday was our last full day there so we decided to head to the pool
Kyson helping Drae walk with Neema.

This was the view off of our balcony. I loved to eat breakfast out there every morning and take it all in.
One last picture before we headed off for dinner. That night we ate at the Rusty Pelican that was right on the harbor. It was the perfect way to spend our last night in Newport. Yummy seafood with a great view!
We decided to split up the drive and stay Friday night in Vegas. We stopped at Buffalo Bills to ride the roller coaster. I couldn't go since I was prego so my Mom decided to stay with me and help me watch the kids. Stopping in Vegas was so nice, it made the drive not so bad and as a bonus we got to do some more shopping! Thanks Mom and Dad for the awesome vacation!

I haven't been to Disneyland for so long and California is always beautiful - gotta go sometime soon. Glad you had fun!
