I'll warn you right now that this post is picture overload, but we had an amazing summer vacation and I had to document all of our favorite parts of the trip, so enjoy!!!
The Amazing view from our room at the Wyndam Oceanside Pier Resort! Probably the nicest place we've ever stayed on vacation! Thanks to my Grandpa Dean and Grandma Jackie! My awesome grandparents paid for EVERYBODY's rooms (all of my Mom's sisters and brother and their families). There were tons of us and it was quite the family reunion! Oceanside is a perfect location because it's close to all the cool theme parks and to tons of outdoor stuff to do too. Our resort is literally right across the street from the beach and an amazing Pier that goes quite far out into the ocean. There is a lot of great shopping around and soo much to do. We could definitely live here....if we were millionaires! haha!
Jason with the kids on our way to eat at Joe's Crabshack! Bretten and Jason got to go on a pretty fun fishing excursion on one of those boats!
Jason enjoying the relaxing view!
And of course, I enjoyed the relaxing view too!
The kids on the awesome bike we rented. Rylan had enough by this point! haha
Jaylee is a total fish when she is around the water. She could spend hours and hours and hours playing in the water! She couldn't get enough of the ocean and the pool at our resort!
Kaysen loved the Ocean, but he was a little bit fearless, so I was so scared he was going to get swept out to sea by a big wave. Luckily, he survived the rough sea!
Bretten holding up some cool seaweed he found!
Rylan trying to get as dirty as he possibly can! He loved playing on the beach!
Jaylee was so excited to spend a week with her best cousins Brooke and Brinly!
My Mom and Dad taking a stroll on the Pier!
The kids eating breakfast in our amazing room!
Our family on the Oceanside Pier!
Jason and Rylan walking on the Pier! Rylan loved it and couldn't get enough of looking down at the Ocean. He wanted to jump in, so we had to watch him close!
Bretten, Jaylee and Kaysen looking in the buckets for fish that people had caught! This pier was so much fun to walk up and down because there are so many people fishing and you get quite an eye full. There are sting rays, sharks, and all sorts of fun things to see!
Our Family Bike Ride! The beach was right across the street from our resort and they had all sorts of neat things there. We chose to rent one of these bikes and went for a cruise up and down the beach. It was quite the workout! The kids thought it was soo cool!
Disneyland! The Happiest place on Earth!!!
Rylan loved the Merry Go Round. He cried and cried when we finally were to dizzy to keep taking him on it!
On the Tower of Terror ride in California Adventureland! I couldn't believe I talked Jaylee and Bretten into going on this with me. It was a pretty scary ride for them. It was funny because while we were waiting in line, there were all the teenagers and adults who were freaking out about it, and then they would look at Jaylee and Bretten and say "I can't believe I'm scared to go on this. There are 5 year olds doing this!" haha. They were definitely brave! We are in the bottom right hand corner!
The kids with Goofy! Rylan of course wasn't too crazy about getting his picture with such a goofball!
Taking a relaxing ride on the train at Disneyland!
The kids and I posing for a picture right before somebody came and yelled at us for letting our kids climb up there for a picture! haha
My boys and me on Pirate Island (or something like that) at Disneyland!
Bretten and Kaysen at Legoland!
Jaylee got chosen to go up on stage and do an Egyptian dance for one of the performances we attended at Legoland. She did awesome!
