Laguna Beach

Mike's relative or cousin, well we will just call him Uncle Tony; lives at Laguna Beach. So we went and stayed with him for a night and played on the beach. It was Alyssa and Makaley's first time to the beach. It was a foggy day and the water was cold. Even uncle tony didn't want to get in. But Mike braved the cold. He even took his shirt off for a minute. He tried out Tony's sand board and when he didn't go anywhere he decided to tryout the kayak. Alyssa was afraid of the waves but not when dad was there to lift her up when they came in. Makaley loved the sand, I couldn't get her to stop eating it. It was fun to go to the beach but we were even more excited to get in a nice hot shower to warm up. We will have to go back when the weather isn't so bad.

Disneyland

I think that I have finally recouped from our vacation.
It was a lot of fun to see Alyssa get so excited. She couldn't wait. We stopped in Vegas on our way to California and she saw the Excalibur and thought that we were at Disneyland. She was very disappointed that we were only half way there. She stayed awake the rest of the night, until two minutes before we got to the hotel.
Alyssa loved meeting the Princesses. She learned how to greet and bow to the Princesses. Alyssa got autographs and pictures with each one . It was a dream come true. She wants to dress up in her Belle dress everyday and she wants Makaley to be Snow White. They are going to be the same for Halloween. We thought that the 2 for 1 would save us some money. Maybe next time we go to Disneyland Mike and I might be able to do somethings we want.
