Summer Vacation!!

So we went on Vacation this summer with Bren's dad's family. 12 of us including 3 kids in car seats packed up in a 12 passenger van and started our journey to California!!
We drove halfway to Vegas the first day and spent sometime shopping and hanging out. Then we traveled the rest of the way to California! Bren got Blakely dressed that morning and decided to start a new fashion trend with the tag in front:)
 The next day we got up and went to Church and then headed to the beach to enjoy the rest of the afternoon. We went to Huntington Beach and had a great time. Mayz didnt like the ocean but she sure loved the sand. The boys did some boogie boarding while the girls watched and enjoyed the sunshine.
 Then it was time to go to Disneyland!!! We had talked about it so much with Mayz and she was so excited. But to our disappointment she did not love it so much. She was afraid of all the rides and did not want to meet the characters. She loved getting the princesses autographs but didn't want to get close for pictures. Stinking kid. She loved the parades because she could wave at them from a distance. Gotta love the girl. Most of us went back to the park around 10 and stayed till midnight when the park closed. We rode splash mountain 3 times in a row without even having to get off. It was great, we were soaked but had a blast!
 Our second day at Disneyland Mayz warmed up a little. But it wasn't until around 5 that we went on the Monster's Inc ride and she loved it and wanted to go again and then wanted to go ride all of the rides. So we only had a few hours to pack in as many rides as we could because we had to head back to Vegas that night. But we got a few in and she loved it so it was a sucess!!


We all slept in the next morning because we didnt get to Vegas till about 4 AM. We hung out at the pool because it was soooo hot and then headed home. It was a quick trip but we had an awesome time! Can't wait to take Mayz back to Disneyland, hopefully she wont be scared next time!!
