FAMILY TRIP TO CALIFORNIA!!!

We finally returned home after a two week vacation with the family! We go to Newport California every year and this year we invited Gary's parents and his sister Tami and husband Mike and their kids which was really fun. It started out on Saturday where we headed to Provo and watch BYU WOMP UNLV which was the perfect way to start a trip! Then we jumped in our cars and drove to St. George. We stayed the night then headed to Newport to our timeshare. The next morning we drove to Sea World which was fun and exhausting as we ran from one show to the next. Then that night we ate at Nati's, which is a must eat since Gary's family has been going there since his Dad was young. Then Tuesday, we stayed around our resort where the kids swam, played basketball, tennis and played in the sandbox. Then Gary's parents were so thoughtful and watched the kids so Gary, I, Mike and Tami could go to dinner at our favorite place The Cheesecake Factory. Wednesday was the day the kids had all been waiting for. We headed to DISNEYLAND!! We stayed from open to close and loved it!! Once they kicked us out we went to Downtown Disney and ate at the RAINFOREST CAFE. The kids literatly could hardly keep their eyes open but it was fun. Thursday was beach day. We went to Balboa Island and Huntington Beach. The kids had fun splashing in the waves and playing in the sand. Then we all headed to Cheesecake Factory again! You got to love it when you can walk right in and get a table for 12!! Friday was DISNEYLAND again and again stayed until it closed!! On Friday they had an awesome fireworks show with Tinkerbell flying over the castle the girls loved that!! Saturday, Gary's parents and Mike and Tami and kids left and our family headed over to our friends Bill and Cori Blodgett. The Blodgetts just moved to Calilfornia a month ago so it was fun to see their pretty home and the kids had fun playing in their pool. While the guys watched BYU again WOMP Wyoming!!! (GO COUGS!!). Then Sunday came and we headed back to St. George. We love St. George and since we have a little place there Gary stayed with us until Tuesday then flew home. Me and the kids stayed until Saturday. It is so relaxing and fun down there! We feel so blessed to have family so close that we can share these fun memories with! Thanks Mom and Dad and Tami and Mike for making this trip so fun and being with us even though you had to sleep on the horrible hide-a-bed!! We LOVE YOU GUYS!!
