This was our airbnb that we rented.  It was fun to have a shared place, even if it was in a bit of a sketchy part of the valley.

Wherever there is sand is a good place to get dirty.

Image

Image

After the tide pools we joined some friends of our friends at the timeshare in Newport.  It was fun to have access to the pool. 

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Look how nice that looks.  I'm typing this 2.5 years later in the dead of winter and I would love to be at a pool with palm trees right now!

Image

Image

Lyla was happy to have help brushing her hair. 

Tomorrow we visit the beach!

Ada giving the ol' sword in the stone a good yank.

Who doesn't love pictures of screens of pictures on rides? Here's a handful for you.

Image

I was looking for a kiss. 

Image

Rachel's a good sport to take the kids on the teacups. 

Image

Driving takes extreme concentration. 

Image

Image

Tigger likes Lyla's hair because it matches his fur. I wonder if Tigger has a soul. 

Image

Image

Eeyore. 

Image

Pooh.

Image

Image

Image

This crispy pork belly skewer from Bengal Barbecue was delicious. 

Image

Kate just missed her chance to ride on Kissimee Kate.

Next stop, Toontown.  My least favorite Disney lands.

We finally were able to try the grey stuff.  It was pretty delicious. 

Tomorrow we visit tide pools and a resort.
