California

We bought season passes to Disneyland this year because we already had a few trips to California planned and we thought it would be fun. We went this time for my mom's Bday. We spent the first two days at the pool and beach then went over the Disneyland.  We normally go to Hungtington beach but we decided to try out Newport beach to walk around, find seashells and have dinner. When we were there we remember why we like Huntington Beach so much. The crowd at Newport is different a little more rough, the sand area is steep to the ocean. It was still a lot of fun to enjoy the nice weather. Alyssa collected 100+ little sea shells. I really need to do a craft with her with all the sea shells we have saved from the past 4 years. Kate is timid of the water but once she realized she could stay far enough away she loved running around finding sea shells with Alyssa. The beach brings me so much peace and joy. Just stepping on the the sand and feeling the ocean breeze is wonderful to me. Here are the beach pictures. I'll post Disneyland pictures later.
