We decided we needed a vacation! My good friend Vickie offered her house for us to stay, Todd gets free flights through his part time job and my good friend Chantel said her dad could get us into Disneyland. Why not take a vacation!?
We left on Wednesday and got into California around dinnertime. We picked up our rental van and headed to Vickie's! We must have been a sight for sore eyes when we first walked into her house. We ran out of warm water for Caroline's bottle so she was screaming the last 20 minutes of the drive. On the way walking in Nathan fell and skinned his knee and he was crying. So we walked into her house with 2/3 screaming kids! lol! Peter and John just looked at us like who ARE these people!? lol! We got all settled in. Vickie made us a delicious spaghetti dinner. We got the kids settled in bed. The boys slept upstairs in Peter and John's room. They were so excited for the sleepover!
Thursday (St. Patrick's Day) we relaxed all morning. Brayden and Nathan were SO excited to play outside and even more excited to wear shorts! We ended up taking a trip to the beach Thursday afternoon and played on a playground in the sand! That was really cool! Even better was the fact that trains went by every few minutes! The boys had a blast and Caroline had her first swing ride!
Look Mommy! My shoes are off!

Watching the trains!
Playing!
Running from the waves!
Playing with the dogs! We walked the pier and looked at the tunnel waves. We had such a great time that we wanted ice cream. We walked for the longest time and couldn't find a place to buy an ice cream cone! lol! We walked so long and the boys were tired. All we had was one stroller so Todd had to take turns carrying them. They were getting mad when they had to walk and were so overtired. Nathan ended up tripping and skinned his knee again. He was so tired and upset. This is what we ended up doing on the way back to the van...
Yep, Nathan is in the baby carrier holding the baby. LOL! He will LOVE this picture later in life!
