Yay Family!

My WHOLE family was able to come down this last week to California to see my nephew's baptism. My mom was able to stay in a hotel close to Disneyland and my parents paid for a day pass to Disneyland on Monday for the whole family. It was so good to see my mom able to travel like that. I hope that she isn't suffering too much for the fun she had. She wasn't able to go into Disneyland but was able to hear all of our stories about our day. They made my Niece's and Nephew's day. They got to ride a new ride for them each: Max got to ride Screamin' California and Sadie got to ride Tower of Terror. I got to show my dad, Courtney and Mandi around California Adventure for their first time ever. Being pregnant in Disneyland is rather interesting. Usually I got the whole day without sitting down and only eat like two meals. This time I had to eat like every time we got a ride and walking to things made my hips hurt so I had to sit down. I guess luckily I couldn't ride the cool rides so standing for too long wasn't ever a real issue.


The day after I got to break in my new maternity swimsuit and visit the hotel pool. The weather here was very temperate for my mom which meant it was pretty cool out for swimming that day. Kids are so fearless about things like being FREEZING! It was fun to see Gwen try to drink the water while her mom was trying to keep her face out of the water. I also got to go to the beach with my sisters and the kids and have some fun there with the kids finding sea shells and digging big holes. Ryan finally got to join us Saturday and we went and visited Chinatown in LA. That was interesting. We felt very culturally uplifted and I came away with a couple really cute hats!
