We spent basicly a whole week in California so there are tons of pictures for me to blog. Sorry, but I have to get this all done before we move. Yes, I said move, to a house of our own, not renting but owning. I know you can't believe it, but more of that in my next blog.
We started off the third and last day in California Adventures.
The first few hours the boys went on big rides and we went to Bug Land with a few more photo opps.
Then we all got together and went to Cars Land again.
We stayed there almost all day riding the rides over and over again. They really do kinda kick.
Beckett really loves these guys. I love the middle one he is like having a moment with McQueen.
After Cars land and a quick couple of other rides, we ate dinner. We did a character dinner. Jason and I decided that Elleree was just at the right age for all the princesses at Ariel's Grotto. She liked them enough, but didn't seem too impressed, for that matter neither were the rest of us. So it was decided we didn't need to do that again. That night we went to the World of Color. Goodbye Disney.
Next day the boys headed to Universal Studios.
My aunt Carry came and drove me and the two munchkins to Ports of Call in San Pedro. We used to go here when I was a kid and I haven't been in a million years. It was funny to see things as an adult. It always felt huge, but it is not actually that big. Anyway it was a good relaxing day with no rushing to get anywhere and lots of resting.
Our last day we spent at the beach.
This is another thing I loved doing as a kid! Now I love body surfing and playing in the water with my kids. Elleree and Beckett didn't like it much.
Jason is always a sport about playing with them in the sand.
They buried Truman and found lots of seashells. I realized that I didn't get any pictures of Dillon at the beach I basically ROCK as a mom.
We drove home that day and decided to drive all night and just push through until we got home. About 3:00 a.m. as Jason says, an Elk hit us.
It was pretty scary because we were all sleeping and all I heard was
this huge Thud and Jason swore (which he never does) so I braced myself
to flip, or smash into something. All we did was stop. I was so relived that it was just an Elk. Jason was upset, but I was just happy
no one was hurt and we could still drive the car. I don't even think it did that much damage. Mostly I was upset about the smell. Elk really, really stink and we had to smell it all the way home yuck!

How fun (well not the hitting the elk part) but the rest of the vaction looks awesome. They are at a perfect age to go to Disneyland. Were you out of school or did you just skip? Looks like it was a great trip the older kids will always remember. Not sure how I missed the other posts. I think my computer is weird because Icheck all the time to see if there are new posts. Thanks for sharing!
Man oh man you guys really know how to get in on the action...Disney, elk, moving...You just never stop!
I too love that little moment with Beckett and "the car". ah childhood. It's the best!
Oh yeah, the smell of elk! Yum....SOOO glad you were all safe. Those elk are not little.
Can't wait to hear about the new abode!
New house.. not renting?
Is this still in Jerome?
I'm so curious.
Ok. Elleree is so cute with the giant bow that looks like Mickey Mouse ears. Too funny.
What a great vacation.
You can never post too much for my taste.
