Spring Break!

We had a great spring break this year.  We convinced (it didn't take much) Kari and Jason to come down and join us in the OC for our break.  The kids and I left on the March 25th so that we could meet up with Kari and J and Steve joined us on the 26th (our anniversary - 11 years baby!) when he returned from a work trip. 

We spent time at the beach, shopping, swimming, Disneyland, the beach, shopping and just hanging out.  We had a great time and were so grateful to spend some much needed time with Kari and J and Jake and Maggie.  Jake and Josh are two peas in a pod and while Josh is a little bossy at times they had so much fun.  Maggie is a spit fire and so adorable, it was so fun to get to know her better. 

The beach was great, the shopping fun, the weather beautiful and really it was just great! 

Disneyland was the highlight. Jake was super excited to go and as we pulled into the parking structure started wishing everyone a HAPPY DISNEY DAY!  We were a little concerned about the overcast weather, but it turned out perfect and wasn't too hot.  Maggie and Noah were troopers and couldn't have been better the whole day.  Josh was also a super star and enjoyed all the rides including Space Mountain, but he says that Buzz and Pirates were his favorites.  He was even just fine with going to the Haunted Mansion and while his big Brother and Sister were being big wimps and crying in their cereal about it, he loved the Dancing Ghosts.

Sadly all great trips must come to an end.  Thankfully due to a delayed flight we got the added bonus of having Kari and J for an extra night/day.  It was wonderful and with the extra day we had we wandered around Laguna Beach and found a yummy little restaurant that overlooked the ocean.  Here are a few pictures for highlights.  I am not sure why I don't have any of J.
