The Golden state

You can't take a trip to California and not make it to In-N-Out. I think this was the first stop after we left the airport...Can you tell how much we enjoyed the food?!!
So, this little trip was about a month ago...but we had to make sure to get record of Maycee's first trip to Disneyland. We headed to California with our friends the Taits, excited for warm weather, yummy food and fun with the little girls. On Saturday we hit up Santa Monica Pier...


Gracie found some new friends...I think she became the main attraction on the pier.

Maycee wasn't so sure about the sun in her eyes, but I thought it was a cute family pic...

That night we had some great mexican food at Mexi Casa-an old favorite of the Anderson family. KC is constantly craving the "chips with cheese and sauce".

On Sunday we mostly hung out at the really nice resort we stayed at down in Newport. That night we headed up to KC's cousin's house for some home cookin' (prime rib baby!!). Thanks again Jennifer and Taylor!

The view from our balcony...not too shabby.

Maycee loves seeing Bailey and Lindsey...they are always so excited to play with her!!

Bailey and Lindsey tried to sneak away with our shoes...

On Monday we hit the main attraction in southern California-Disneyland! It ended up being the day with the WORST weather! Maycee's first Disneyland experience ended up as the "Wettest Day on Earth", but I'm pretty sure she still loved it.

One of the few moments of sunshine during the day...the girls found the ducks. Probably one of the highlights of their day!

The classic photo at the front of the park...Too bad you can barely see Mickey.

We ended our trip with a visit to Balboa Pier and Newport Beach. You can't go to Balboa and not have a balboa bar or frozen banana. Brittany and I chose the chocolate covered banana....

SO GOOD!!

She's a natural beach bum...

Newport Beach - Perfect way to end our trip!

Thanks for all of the "Firsts"...first trip to see Mickey for our girls, First Cheese on a stick and Chocolate Covered Banana for me...Such good times!

I really like the picture of you and Maycee in the 3D glasses Sally. And KC looks "Magically Excited" in the bottom picture in the collage. Thanks again for the great trip!
