Disneyland & Newport Beach

This past Spring, Anton and I decided it would be fun to take our girls on a vacation - just the four of us. We decided upon Disneyland and the beach. It was the best trip I can remember!! I thought my heart would burst with happiness. Sounds cheesy, but the whole trip (with the exception of my dumb car breaking down) was perfect. The girls couldn't get enough of the beach, and Disneyland of course was so magical. We invited my parents to join us, so they flew down on a Monday and flew out on Wednesday. We had such a ball together. We laughed so hard playing games, and laughing about the girls! They joined us for one day in Disneyland, and the girls loved every minute of being there with them.
We were gone for 9 days, so we thought when the trip was going to end that we would be "so ready" to get home, but just the opposite. We were all a little melancholy that this trip we had been so excited for was over. We spent the last day at a little beach we found in Laguna Beach. It was amazing!! It was one of the  highlights of the trip for Anton (the other was when Brave took Claire by the hand and walked around with her). We stayed there all day long. The water was so warm, and clear that we could see fish, and even two little sharks. We went tide pooling, which the girls went insane over! And, we also saw hordes of star fish, and sea anemones...which were Lilly's favorite.
I will always remember this trip. I am sad it is over, but look so forward to many more trips with my little family! Life is certainly so sweet.
