Beach Day Number Two

 
 
We were able to go to the beach another day while we were there. We went to Torrance beach with everyone and the kids had a blast. The waves were a lot calmer here so it was nice and Brett got to boogie board and Analise played in the sand and the water.

The old homestead

 
One day we took a drive out to see our old house. It was raining so Didn't get to look to long. I kind of miss it but am glad not to have neighbors on top of us and it is a little quieter now.

Tired Girl

 
After the beach we rode the ferry across to Newport beach. Analise got tired from all the excitement. We met up with Uncle Brent and aunt Janice at fashion Island and walked around, saw all the fountains and the koi pond and ate at Red Robin.

Balboa Beach

 
One day we went to Balboa and Newport beach. Brenda used to live there so she wanted to see her old stomping grounds. The weather cooperated and so we got some lunch and ate it on the beach. the waves were pretty big and the current strong so we tried to keep the kids at the waters edge. Brett and Analise loved it.

Disneyland

 
What's a California vacation without Disneyland. It was Stephanies birthday so we all headed out to Disneyland for the day. Analise loved the rides and wanted to keep going on them. We got 2 fer tickets and so we went to Disneyland one day and California Adventure another day. Analise wasn't too sure of the characters though. It wasn't really crowded so we all had a good time and the kids were pooped both days so it made bedtime easier on me.

Southern California Vacation Day 1

 
The first week of June the kids and I went with Aunt Brenda to visit Aunt Janice in Torrance. The first day we went to the Cabrillo Marine museum and Brett was in heaven. We started out going to the tide pools but it was high tide so this was the next best thing. They got to see the aquarium and touch the tide pools there. It was a much safer place for Analise. Cousin Gena and Stephanie went with us also.

Children's Museum Of Denver

 
On the first day of summer vacation we went to the Children's Museum Of Denver. We went with my friend Karen Meacham and her girls Anna and Cameryn. It had a lot of hands on exhibits that the kids loved. They had a nature one where the kids could see how the forrest animals lived. this is them in a big birds nest. Analise thought it was pretty cool.
