California 2016 pt. 1

Yup... A Hawaii trip, a few camping/hiking trips, and a California and Disneyland trip all in the same summer. Remember how I said July and August were the best months ever?! Truth!
Gavin's parents found an awesome house on Air BNB about a mile away from Disneyland that accommodated all of us! They rented a 12 passenger van and took the whole family with them!

The first day we drove 6 hours and stayed the night in Nevada at Buffalo Bills. Of course we had to stop at the *Scipio petting zoo on the way. The boys spent the night *gambling and they did pretty well. For some reason we didn't ride the roller coaster this time. I think we were all just tired from travelling and ready for a break. Buffalo bills is where Owen started saying "To infinity and beyond," or "to iffy an neon!" then putting his arms out like wings and pretending to fly everywhere. It took us a while to figure out what he was doing and saying! He continued this activity throughout the whole trip, it was awesome!

We made it to California the next day and, like I said, our house was awesome! Go Sue for finding it! It was small, but it had a room for all of us. The whole house was Disney themed and Disney painted and very kid friendly! There was a pool in the back that was safe and gated off, thankfully, so the kids couldn't get in without an adult. The other part of the backyard was full of playhouses and kid toys. The three toddlers were in heaven! They could have played out there all day every day.

While in California we had a beach day, a zoo day, and three days of Disneyland. It was perfect. I'll cover the beach here, but the Zoo and Disneyland can get their own posts.

So, my family loovvees the beach. We have passed this love on to Gavin, but his family isn't as passionate about it as we are. I'm glad they agreed to a day in San Clemente so that we could share our love for the ocean with them. We brought our boogie boards, and the waves were bigger than I have ever seen before at this beach. There were some legit boogie boarders there! We also introduced the Scotts to Pedros Tacos which was, always has been, and always will be, a success. 
We checked out a couple beaches in San Clemente. Note to self: spend all your time at T-Street beach... it's the best one!

Yup... O is waist deep in sand right here!

Fish tacos people.

*Scipio is a town in between Salt Lake and St. George. There is nothing for a while before Scipio, and nothing for a while after. So... the people of Scipio have a perfectly placed gas station right off the freeway and at this gas station there is a petting zoo with goats, rabbits, and exotic animals. It is the most random thing but we always stop!
*The other day someone asked Gavin if he would gamble if he wasn't Mormon. He was like "umm, well, I do sometimes! haha maybe I shouldn't brag about that.
