Summer Vacation 2014

Last summer we took an amazing 10 day vacation starting in Phoenix with Nana and Pops.
The kids loved spending time hanging out with their Arizona grandparents.


Maeryn hanging out with Nana and Jack the cat

Quality puzzle time wth Pops.


This was the last time the kids would ever get to spend hanging with Pops at his house.
I'm so grateful that we were able to spend these precious moments together and that I have a few pictures to remember them by.


Pops was pretty tired most of the time but you can see how happy the three if them were just to get to be together.

Silly Johnny.

Maeryn LOVES swimming in Nana's pool.

Such a water baby!

Last visit with Pops before we left for Cailfornia.
We love you Pops and Nana!


After making the drive from Phoenix to LA we were ready for an awesome visit 
with our California family.

First stop, DISNEYLAND!
This is one of my most favorite places in the world.
I love love love everything Disney and getting to experience "The Happiest Place on Earth" with the kids is probably as much if not more fun for me than it is for them!


Angela was well-prepared with her sweet fanny-pack!

Tarzan's tree house!

Johnny checking out the river-boat cruise.

and Huck Finn's Island.

Waiting in line for the Thunder Railroad.

Entertaining ourselves in another line... It's a Small World.




Can you hear the annoying music in your head yet?


The BEST part of the day... Celebration Parade!
We LOVE watching the parade come by with all of our favorite characters, 
music and dancing routines. So, so awesome!
Ana, Elsa and Olaf

Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White


Cinderalla and Belle

Maeryn and Amy on the Dumbo ride.

Maeryn about to experience her first ever roller coaster...
Her words after she got off: "I HATED IT!  I HATED IT!" hahaha

Lunchtime at our favorite Disneyland restaurant!


Kevin's tradidional Monte' Cristo!

Toon Town!

Johnny didn't quite make it through the end of the day.

Just like his big sissy (a few years ago on our Disney trip)!

He perked up on our way to the car for a few pictures.



The were ZONKED out back at the hotel though!

Hollywood/Beverly Hills/Santa Monica Day.






Santa Monica Pier


Looking for dolphins...


Perfect day for the fun at the pier!

Had to take a picture of the Zoltar machine.

Lunch under the pier at a cool little outdoor sports bar!


On our way to play on Manhattan Beach!







Pretending she was a surfer chick!

Uncle Mal coming fashionably late.  ;-)


Johnny loved his first beach experience!


Playing football with Dad.


And soccer of course.


Boogie boarding with Uncle Mal.



Ahhh, so relaxing.  Yeah right.




Another Kenney Disney Day - this time, California Adventure!


Goofy was goofing around.


Disneyland is pretty cool but CARS LAND is the bomb!
