Disneyland!!!!!

We were able to go to California the week of Halloween.  We had so much fun.
We stopped at my dads cousins house in Vegas on the way out their, we go to go swimming in October and it was so fun - ok, I didn't really swim but the kids did and so did most everyone else (of course Dan, My parents, Brother RW and wife Vanessa and daughter Addi, and Sister Kali).















Our first day in California we went to the beach - it was ill planned on my part I thought that it would be to cold for anyone to go out into the water so I didn't bring towels and clothes to change into. I was so wrong, the water just called to them and even though it was cold they could not help themselves (well, not Kashy as soon as the first wave crashed into her shines she was done with the water, we played in the sand.)


The rest of the week we spent at Disneyland and it was so fun.  We were able to go to Mickeys Trick or Treat party, dress up and just spend time with each other.  I first day we spent all together, the next day we hung out with RW and his family. On wed we spend time with Kali and Grandma (they went back to the hotel in the afternoon and swam with the kids) Dan and I hung out in California adventure  with some good friends of ours (Jake and David) and had some awesome ice cream.  We then went to dinner with my cousins (who I had not seen in like 14 years) and their kids, such a blast.
We spent our next two days with them and we had so much fun.









 I was so sad that we had to leave. My kids and the cousins hit it off instantly it was like everyone had always known each other and it was just awesome.  It is easy to love people you are related to even if you have never met before.  One cousin told her dad that she had "new cousins" after she got home lol.  It was amazing:) I am so glad that everyone got to experience that.
