OMG… Disney Videos Are The Best!!

I'm still sorting through the hundreds of pictures that I took while we were at Disneyland… it will probably be a few days before I get any posted here on the blog.  In the meantime, how about some videos!  Those are way more fun than pictures anyhow.  

Our group selfie before our ride on the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad began.  I got to sit with the two little girls… they were hilarious!!  I am so glad that I took video of them riding the ride.  Let me warn you, there is a lot of high pitched squealing… so maybe lower your volume.

The Radiator Racers ride in CARS Land was by far Ryder's favorite ride.  He almost did not get to ride it… technically he was not quite tall enough, but the worker did not really check well (lucky us).  Ryder had the biggest smile on his face the whole time he was on the ride.  Then when we got off the ride he kept telling us how awesome that ride was.

Texans Come West

Guess who popped in for a week while we were in San Diego… a whole bunch of Texas family!  We had a blast showing them around some of our favorite spots in SD.  We spent time at a couple different beaches, went paddle boarding, did some seal watching, did some seaport village shopping, and ate some awesome Mexican food.  We squeezed a lot into the four days they had in SD before we all headed up to Disneyland (pictures from that adventure later).  

Savannah and her cousin Cheridan at the beach (day #1).  Savannah had so much fun showing Cheridan how to boogie board and how to build sandcastles and jump waves.  

The whole gang digging tunnels for Ryder to drive his sand trucks through.

Paddle boarding in Mission Bay (day #2).  Everyone loved this activity!  The kids who got to hitch a ride on the front of the board especially.  Savannah, Ryder, and Cheridan were too little to paddle their own board, so they got to sit on the front of our boards and enjoy the ride.  

She wanted to do it on her own so badly… maybe next year.

Ryder was totally content and happy riding in the front.  He wasn't the least bit afraid and was really sad when his turn was over.  At one point a sail boat almost hit us (or we almost hit a sail boat) and I thought for sure he would start freaking out, but he just laughed and said "that was awesome!".

Seal watching at La Jolla Cove (day #2).

More beach time (day #3).  Cheridan and Uncle E burying Savannah and Ryder in the sand.
