Newport Beach!

One of my favorite family traditions is the week my grandma takes all of us to Newport Beach. It really is a week in paradise where we get to hang out on the beach, play in the ocean, ride bikes, and hang out with the entire fam. It was a bit cooler this year making the water even more freezing cold. It felt colder than the ice water we were drinking! We all made it a goal to get in at least once a day even if we were freezing. It was always worth it when we got in because we had so much fun- but we didn’t last long!

The famous Wahoo Fish Tacos-we can't go to California without Jake wanting a smelly taco!We had a ton of fun riding our bikes to Huntington Beach and shopping the sidewalk sales so much fun in fact that when the boys went to the Angels vs. Boston game the girls headed back to Huntington. At night we would go to Balboa Island to ride the ferris wheel and hang out. On Wednesday we headed to DISNEYLAND- the happiest place on earth!! We had a blast going on all the rides. It was especially fun because it was Alexa’s first time to the best place ever. She loved the tea cups and It’s a Small World. She would dance to the music and point to the different dolls especially her favorite - Ariel. She loved it so much that when it was over Christian asked if we could go through again for her and they let us! It was an awesome week and we are already on count down for next summer!!
