In September we drove down to Southern California for a family vacation. We spent four days in Disneyland. The first day we were there Doug's parents and brother David and his family were there celebrating our nephew, Jack's, fifth birthday. It was fun to be there with a lot of family! We had so much fun seeing the magic in our boys' eyes as they took in the wonders of Disneyland. They loved the Playhouse Disney show and some favorite rides were Buzz Lightyear, Pirates of the Caribbean, Dumbo, Small World and the carousel. The parades were fun, too. We had a special "Breakfast With Goofy" morning where we got to meet a lot of the characters and even dance with them! Chase especially liked meeting the princesses, he got all shy and blushed. It was really cute.
One night that we were there we escaped Disneyland and visited our friends Mark & Cherie and their daughter Cienna, who live in Long Beach. Cienna is only a couple months older than Cameron, so it was fun to watch them play together and Doug and I enjoyed visiting with our old friends that we don't get to see often enough.
After Disneyland we drove up to Idyllwild, where Doug's sister, Emily and her family live. They own the Idyllwild Inn and we stayed in one of their cozy cabins for a couple nights, then spent a night at their house. We got a couple babysitters for all our kids and were able to go out to a nice dinner with Emily and Josh (and complete a whole sentence without being interrupted!).
Overall it was a great vacation filled with lots of fun, family, friends and good memories! I took tons of pictures, but here are just a few.
