Family Get-Away

We had a fun four day family get away this past week. Our good friends, Beth and Dane, invited us to stay with them in their Newport Beach timeshare, and we thought it sounded like a great idea. We had lots of fun! We hung out on the beach, ate some great food and went to Disneyland. The kids all got along great and kept every moment quite lively! Here are (lots of) pics...

We were staying close to where Carly and Alyson live, so we went to church with them and stopped by to see the Newport Beach LDS Temple - very beautiful


This was too funny, we were hoping someone would have extra tickets to sell/giveaway, so we made this sign and Tucker & Dane swallowed their pride and walked around with it for a while (no such luck, we spent the small fortune to get into Disneyland for the day).

We were quite the "wide load" walking around the park!

Unfortunately it was too busy for us to meet the princesses, but we caught glimpse of a couple during a show - here's Belle in her beautiful dress!


Lexi's not so sure of Mickey :-)


Peyton was such a good baby all day (especially considering she was cutting her first tooth!)



Tucker's training her early on the Camelbak




Minnie Mouse! (Lexi keeps correcting me that it's just "Minnie" with NO "Mouse" attached)


Look how cute these girls are with their long ponytails. This is on It's a Small World.

I convinced Tucker to try the Mei Tai wrap for a while. He was a good sport :-) Looks good, huh? What a Dad!

It was great weather and the kids had a ton of fun on Balboa Beach!


Dane and Beth, Lindsay, Jacob and Luke

Jamie, HOW FUN! I'm so jealous! You got so many cute pictures of your family and it looks like the kids had such a great time! And on a side note, I can't believe how long the girls' hair is and you cut yours too! It looks sooo cute! I love it! Glad you had a great trip! And one other thing, do you like that carrier that you use with Peyton? I have seen you with it in some pictures and wondered about it. Gotta get filled in on all the "mommy goods"!

Sounds like such a fun get away. We are planning to go to Disneyland sometime in the fall.
Any suggestions on how to get discount passes?
You look really good and so does your family. We miss you

Hey look, it is beautful sunny California! We have some good stuff down here don't we. I think Tucker's "Need Tickets" sign is hilarious! Hope you all had a good time.

I am so jealous. We usually go to the beach once a year but this year is definitely out! You guys all look so cute!
