Newport


Our week at Newport Beach this year was better than ever. The girls were angels on the car ride to Utah and the plane ride to California. The girls LOVED the ocean, playing in the sand, and the option of going to the pool too. My favorite part of the trip was going down to the beach after dinner when the sand was nice and cool and the hassle of sunscreen wasn't as necessary. It was lovely.
My grandpa came up for the day and it was fun to see him. We rented bikes with seats on the back and road to the wedge with my parents. We went on a lot of walks and ate a lot of soft serve and donuts beachside. I also got in a few runs that were glorious and gorgeous.











We took the girls to Disneyland and had a great day. It was overcast and the girls did pretty well. Evie was terrified of Mr. Toads Wild Ride and Pirates of the Carribean and Rosie had a rough time after not taking a long enough stroller nap. But the girls were crazy about meeting Minnie and were all over her. We went on a ton of rides and hardly waited in line at all. They also loved watching a band perform and the goats at the little petting zoo there that I had never noticed before.
Great day. Great trip.

  1. What a perfect trip. Connor told me the other day that we needed to spend more time at the beach. I couldn't agree more.
