California Dreamin'....CA trip 2009

How would you like to live 5 minutes away from this?  My grandparents live in San Clemente, CA.  We started our trip here.  We loved watching the fireworks off the ocean.
Here they are: Grandpa Paul and Grandma Billie.  This picture cracks me up.  Can't you just tell....they are sooooo much fun.  Thanks guys for letting us take over your home.  We loved every minute of it.  and thanks for cleaning out your office Grandpa...I'm sure it took awhile. 
We got to do so many things:
Play lots of ball!
We went to a petting zoo.
We got to see Allen's sister, Aunt Tiffany!
Oh yeah....did I mention the BEACH!!!!!!!?
Porter was in heaven...the beach and swings!
We got to see Aunt Gayle and Uncle Jim and swim in their pool!

Then we headed up to Orange County to see my other grandparents.  We had lots of fun visiting friends (sorry we forgot to take pics Damon and Becky) and family. 
here's a pic of me and my Grandma Bradford....and it's a picture even she likes.  It's a miracle!
We took the older 2 boys to Disneyland!  They loved it.  Thanks to Grandpa and Grandma Bradford for taking care of Porter for the day.
The 4 favorite rides: Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Monster's Inc., and Peter Pan.
Porter was happy we brought back suckers for everyone!

We had an amazing trip!! Thanks to everyone for letting us come and stay.  We loved it and the boys were so sad when it was time to come home.  But like all trips, it is sure nice to be home!

This must be Quincy's attempt to impersonate Micheal Jackson. We were in L.A. the week of the funeral, he must of picked it up from watching MJ footage on the news.
Sigh.

I noticed this too before I used it on the blog but the shot was so cute otherwise that I used it! It might not be MJ, Quincy does that a lot anyway! boys!

Looks like Cali was lots of fun! We would love to come over whenever you'll have us. But we are in Colorado for the next week but when we get back we ARE coming over!
