You know I realized I haven't really mentioned the Cali trip we took had which is so odd, because we had the best time. I think its because we hit the ground running when we got home and I haven't had a chance to reflect.
When we got in, we headed to Auntie Patti's house and then went to Ruby's on the pier for lunch and the kids insisted on going into the ocean with their clothes on!! Typical! We spent some more time with Auntie Patti and Unc Ric's and then headed to our hotel near Disneyland.
The next day, Scott went golfing with Lance and Patty, Ric, and the kids and I went to the Long Beach Aquarium which was a ton of fun. The kids then spent the evening with Patty and Ric and Scott and I went off to the Rehearsal Dinner for our friends Lance and Suzanne (Suzance) wedding. We sat with Chip and Michelle, old friend's from Tucson. 
We picked up the kids and went back to the hotel. The next day, we dropped off the kids at Aunt Patti's once again. Auntie Jennifer and Little Jen came from Tucson as well. Scott had to go get pics taken with the wedding party. I went and got ready for the wedding and met Scott at the hotel where the wedding was. What a great hotel it was too. Very Tuscan feel to it.
The wedding was beautiful. Suzanne looked so pretty and I loved that she added a deep purple sash to her dress. They are so happy and in love. It was also our wedding anniversary so what a more fitting way to celebrate for us but at a wedding. Lance was at our wedding 11 years ago! We had such a great time it was sad to see it come to an end. Thanks Lance and Suzanne for letting us celebrate your happiness with you! Best wishes and may you be as happy as Scott and I!!
The next day, we went to California Adventures for a bit and then back to the Jones's to meet up with more Mahaffey family! Yeah! We had fun meeting Unc Mike's wonderful lady and seeing Allysen and Chris, Kimberly and their new baby McKenzie. What a nice way to spend an evening. 
The next day we went to Disneyland! Yeah! We had a super fun time going on all the rides. We did make the mistake of taking Nate on Space Mountain and he came off the thing crying his head off. So lesson learned: he is tall enough but may not be old enough to ride on something like that.
We did of course have a blast.
This was Nate's first time at the Dland and we tried to make it special - but for the Hoaglund's, anything Disney is just special by default. We are talking about Scotty here! Scott took them on Star Tours, which for him, made his favorite ride even more now that he can share it with both kids. We all sent on Soarin' which was so cool. ! 
In the evening, we met up with the Jones's and Mahaffey's once again and this time got to see Kristin! Yay
I am leaving out a ton of stuff because we packed in so much in the 5 short days we were there. The kids got to go to the beach, swimming, an Angel's game, the park, ride in the convertible, spend a ton of time with our family, Eat at In-n-Out burger. It was such a great trip, but man we packed so much in there, that it's hard to remember it all.
