Last week we went to California to spend a few days in Disneyland and a little visit to the beach with my sister's family. It was a surprising 100 degrees at Disneyland our first two days and in the 90's the other days! It was nice to be in the sun coming from cold, rainy Oregon, but it was a little too hot for a theme park. However, it was a perfect time to go since it wasn't crowded and there were short lines everyday. It was Matthew and the girls' first time to Disneyland and we all had a blast. The girls were very brave and went on every ride they were tall enough for. Emily and Angela's favorites were Tower of Terror and Space Mountain! I think I was more scared on Tower of Terror than they were. On Friday, we took Nicole and Ashley to my sister's house and spent the day at Disneyland with Emily and Angela. It was so fun that we could go on all the rides together. My sister and her family spent some time with us at Disneyland also which made it even more fun!
You can tell how hot it is from all the sweat on our faces!
Our first ride had to be Dumbo of course!
Ashley was not happy she couldn't go on this ride.
As we entered the park one day, I heard someone call my name and it was one of my college roommates, Tiffany! I couldn't believe it. I hadn't seen her since her wedding, so it was so fun to see her and her kids. She was meeting another friend that lived above us, so I got to see Nora too.
Teacups were a favorite and since there was never a line for it, we did it many times. Matthew and the girls would spin as fast as they could while Ashley and I rode another tea cup and tried to keep it from spinning.
Ashley spent lots of time in the stroller!
This little kids roller coaster was Nicole's favorite ride. We did it 4 times in a row one day since there was no line.
Nicole and I are in the back. She was so cute how she would hold her arms up the whole ride (which is only like 30 seconds).
The girls really liked this ride, but I opted out and took pictures instead.
It was a lot cooler our last day when we went to the beach, but it was fun to see the beach near my sister's house and there were huge crashing waves that were fun to watch.
We're already looking forward to going again someday!

How funny that you ran into Tiff. Especially at such a big, busy place. Looks like such a fun trip.
What a fun time! The boys keep asking when they can go to Mickey's house--I think we still have a few more years before we attempt it with all of them. Although I don't think we will be standing in line to see the princesses.
Glad you had fun with your sister.
