Oceanside

Lucas' family planned a big trip to California. Here's a "few" pictures of our vacation. (it's kind of picture overload so beware)

We stayed in Las Vegas on our first night. We got to so see the aquarium at the Silverton Hotel...


We celebrated Mason's birthday that night too...

We went to the Mormon Battalion the first day we were in California. They've renovated it and it is very cool. The kids loved it!
Here's the grandkids in the covered wagon...



Dallin got to dress up as a soldier in the Mormon Battalion...

Here's our typical family picture...

The kids got to pan for gold...

We got to learn how they washed clothes...

Caden's on the lookout...

We were able to see the San Diego temple while we were there. I was kind of sad they were cleaning it so all the scaffolding was up. It's still a beautiful temple!


We stayed in Oceanside and our condo was right by the beach! We loved spending time there...


Halle likes to wear her glasses upside down...

Caden loves the ocean!!!


Lucas bought a body board which entertained him for days...


Caden was very daring in the water, Dallin had to hold him back...

At first Halle wouldn't touch the sand and the next thing you know, she's rubbing it all over herself...

Family picture by the sunset...


I was very excited that we were able to go to Disneyland for one day. You can't be that close and not go!

Riding Dumbo...


Me and Dumbo's bum...


The Tea Cups. I refuse to go on them. They make me sick.

It's a Small World! Halle sang that song the whole day.


Caden and Halle with Jessie and Woody!


Winnie the Pooh!

Caden got his drivers license!

Lucas and Caden driving in Autopia


The kids love toy story! Caden, Kylee, Mason, and Halle

We watched Captain EO. It brought back memories of my childhood. Halle insists on wearing her glasses upside down.

We rode the Merry Go Round A LOT. The kids loved that ride.




Caden was brave enough to ride the Matterhorn, Big Thunder, and Splash Mountain!


Caden driving the car in Bug's World.


It was a long day...
Poor Adam got stung by a sting ray while he was body boarding. Lots of people offered to urinate on him, but he declined.


Dallin was nice enough to let Caden sleep with his Mickey...


Chillin' at the condo...
Caden insisted that we go to Legoland. Since it's mainly for young kids, we thought we better go before our kids get too big. I was pleasantly surprised. I think we had more fun than we thought we would.

Caden was a pretty good driver!


Poor Halle and Neve spent a lot of time waiting while everyone else rode rides. Hopefully next time they will be tall enough.

Me and Caden on the Jumping Bean ride. I will not ride the Rocket at Lagoon, but I can handle the kid's version of it.

Hallle and Heather on the airplane ride. I think this was Halle's favorite ride.



Caden and Lucas on the giant slide...

Halle and the princess...




Ride 'em cowboy!


Caden the knight...


Heather, Dallin, and Logan on the Pirate ride. Everyone got soaked!

Caden loved this ride!


Caden, Gracie, Ella, Dallin, and Logan by the Lego pirate...

Halle was not very happy at Legoland. Luckily she took a much needed nap and was much happier after that...


I think the log ride was everyone's favorite. We waited an hour to ride it and it lasted like 10 seconds with 2 very small hills. We'll know better next time to stay away from it.

Sam, Caden, and Lucas...

Doesn't it look scary?!



Caden and Halle love Bob the Builder!


Lucas and Caden on Fairy Tale boat ride...
