Girls Getaway!

It's time to finish up last September. My friend Kae and I got away from it all. We have the best husbands! They stayed behind and watched the girls while Kae and I went to southern California for a GIRLS GETAWAY!! And we had some fun. Before we left, we prepped. We planned on going to Disneyland so we made our own shirts. I think they turned out fantabulously!

After the prep was done, a couple days later we left. We stayed with Dave's Uncle Ron and Aunt Billie. They are the awesomest!

Our first full day was our Disneyland day. We hit all the major rides, watched the light show and fireworks, tried some tasty goodness, and of course got some awesome pics.

 Kae made fun of me for closing my eyes.

We naturally had to get the Dole Whip Floats.

It wouldn't be a Disneyland trip without the iconic castle picture.

I beat Kae!  That's all that needs to be said about the Buzz Lightyear ride.

Ha!  Now whose eyes are closed.

The next day we took it easy. We went to the beach and soaked up some much needed sun. I mean seriously, look at my legs, especially standing next to Kae. Note to self: get a tan.

Not far from the beach is the Newport Beach Temple. So we stopped to check it out.

Then we surprised my brother-in-law and his wife and baby by dropping by. I knew they lived nearby but I didn't realize just how close they were. It was fun to see them and to meet my nephew, Sammy, for the first time. He's the happiest baby ever!

That night we hung out with Ron and Billie. We watched a movie and they took us to get some shaved ice. It was delicious! And we just enjoyed chatting away.

The next day we went to church briefly and then headed home. We had a blast but were excited to get back home to our families who are the best!
