Disneyland trip

What a trip!!  We spent three days at Disneyland and we all had a really great time.  The weather was just perfect and even though there was a lot of people there, we made the most of it.  The boys loved watching the Jedi training and Owen's favorite ride was StarTours (of course).  His souvenir was a StarTours ship with Captain Rex and R2 on it.  He also got to talk to the sea turtle, Crush, from Finding Nemo.  Aidan and Jared talked to him too.  They thought it was pretty cool, especially Jared (he still talks about it).  Aidan's favorite rides were the trains.  We made it to all of them and one of them like 8-9 times (Casey Jr.'s train).  He hid from Zurg the first time he saw him, but warmed up pretty fast.  Of course, Jared and I loved the roller coasters.  The new Toy Story ride was pretty fun.  Unfortunately, our favorite ride, Screamin' California, we didn't get to go on--too long a line--always.  We stayed in the park until closing because then we could ride on all the rides that had long lines all day.  Taking a nap in the middle of the day did wonders for us all.  

I can't get the pictures to download, I'll keep trying!

We also made a trip to Balboa Beach in Newport.  It is a nice clean beach and the waves were huge.  Of course, Owen was all wet within minutes and the water was C-O-L-D.  I stuck my toes in a couple of times and that was enough for me.  There were bikinis all around me and I was in a jacket!  I'm turning into a wimp!  The boys loved chasing the waves and playing in the sand.  We will have to stay longer next time.  It was so nice to be together.  The boys were very good and we did most everything that we wanted to do.  It won't be our last trip, that's for sure.
