California Vacation

We've been over in California this last week. It was great to escape the heat - everyday we enjoyed the beautiful outdoor weather. It was Madison's 1st vacation and overall, she was a pretty good traveler. These are some of our favorite moments and photos from the trip.
Getting ready to head out of town - this little girl is excited to go to Disneyland.
Sunday night we took the girls to Balboa Island Park. Madison quickly pointed out the carousel to us first thing when we got there.Look at that smile - having a good time so far.This princess chose to ride the little pony on the carousel.
Monday, we visited Newport Beach. The girls had a blast at the beach.Alexis' one wish was that she would find a starfish on the beach and her wish came true.Madison really liked the water and the sand. A look of surprise as the water touches her back.
On Tuesday, we headed over to Disneyland!Our first line of the day - Peter Pan! Our first ride was Snow White - but thankfully there was no line, which means no photo op :(Daddy & MadiOne of daddy's favorite rides "the tea cups" - apparently not one of Madi's favorites.having fun looking for Nemo in the submarineAlexis participated in the Royal Coronation with Snow White
Madison got her first set of Mickey Ears!
