Jeff and I took the kids on yet another trip last week! We spent three nights at marriott's Newport Coast Villas. Our good friends, the Banners met us there, and it was so much fun to hang out with them again. We had perfect weather the whole time, so we spent quite a bit of time swimming and laying out by the pool, which overlooks the ocean. Loved it! :)My brother-in-law's cousins live about ten minutes from the Villas, so I was able to arrange babysitters for the kids for Wednesday and Thursday nights. It was so nice to go out without the kids! We went out to dinner and then stopped by a bakery/ice cream shop both nights. I think I'm still full from all of the food we ate!
Friday we decided to go to Disneyland. I hadn't been in ten years, and this was the first time our kids had been. Lexi thought most of the rides were scary at first, and I couldn't blame her! Even I thought that Whinnie the Pooh's crazy dream and the little dolls in It's a Small World were a bit creepy. Lexi has just discovered Princesses, so she loved the parade. In a classic Lexi moment, she ended up watching the entire parade from the lap of a stranger in her scooter chair! 
The kids did suprisingly well all day, and we had a great time, but we were EXHAUSTED by the time we got home that night!

We crashed their ward's BBQ at the park. They had a bunch of stickers for the kids, and Lexi thought they accessorized her dress perfectly!
Now we're home again...for at least a few weeks.

Glad you finally posted! Sooo cute! I want to go on vacation now! It looks beautiful there.
I am totally laughing right now at Lexi - watching the parade from the lap of a stranger. What a cutie. Makes me miss her. I'm glad you guys had a nice trip!
Looks like you guys had so much fun, Judy! Ah...Disneyland. We've almost recovered from our visit there. :) The funny thing is that Katelyn still remembers the highlights. She talks about seeing Goofy ride on the roller coaster at least every other day. So, don't be surprised if the memories stick with Lexi even though she's pretty young.
Very fun! I totally cracked up at Lexi sitting on a stranger's lap at the parade. That is so her, lol. The place you stayed looks divine.
Fun, Fun. We're heading to Disneyland in a few weeks. Your hotel looks gorgeous.
Wow. That picture of New Port beach makes me want to move there. It looks so nice and warm. What a fun trip! Awesome that you found some babysitters too!
How fun! Take all the trips you can before the kids start school! That's so funny about Lexi :)
Judy- I know there are so many friend and family to cram in when you are on trips but please give us a call some time we live 10 min South of Newport. Oh and are heading up to St George Thurs - Sunday. call my cell and maybe we can connect--I'll email it to you
Judy, So much fun! What a fun weekend. I'm glad you guys enjoyed Disneyland. That is hilarious to picture Lexi making new friends even in the crowd.
I'm glad you were able to have a fun family trip. Cute pictures.
That place looks amazing...was that the view from your room? Dang. We need to get down there!
