Excitement after the Dinosaur Museum

It was a normal Friday that we started off with meeting the Denning's for a visit to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. The kids had a great time and as we were getting ready to leave, things became interesting........

Alesha had put Alexa in the car and Drake had mysteriously and unknowingly to the adults, locked the van doors and got out himself, leaving Alexa in the van. When Alesha went open the doors to get the kids in, they were locked, with the keys in the van. Alesha right away wanted to break the window, but I decided to call the police and they said that the would send someone out. Luckily it wasn't too hot that day and Alexa took a nap while waiting the the police to get the van open. After about 40 minutes we had success and Alexa was very happy to get out of her car seat and hang out for a minute. It ended up being a bit of a crazy day! 

The kids were very interested in what the police were doing

Dad's Best Helper

Kinley adores her dad and wants to help him with everything that he does. I am so thankful that Dusty chooses to spend time with her playing and teaching her . He is a great dad

Florida here we come

We had been planning a trip to Florida to go to Disney World and on a Disney Cruise for awhile. Kinley knew that it was after Christmas, so in January I did a countdown for her so that she could know how many days were left. 

She chose a Tinkerbell countdown

The day before we left, Kinley got a call from Mickey and Minnie saying that they were so excited that she was coming on the cruise and they couldn't wait to see her. She thought that was the coolest thing ever!

The morning we left, Kinley had Mickey pancakes to start off this Disney trip

At the airport and ready to go!

California Beach Lovers

With 2 days at Disneyland we took lots of relaxing days at the beach and even found a new place to explore. We went down to the tide pools. They were really cool and it was fun to see something new. 

The Pingel's came into California the day before we left so we made sure to meet up with them and play at the beach. Kinley loves having the boys to play with. 

Peter and Amber also came and hung out with us. We love being able to see them

More beach days 

Kinley is pretty fearless when it comes to the water. She wanted to keep going farther and farther out. She loves to be in and out of the water all day

Had to make a stop and eat at Fred's

 Dusty fell asleep while Kinley was burying him in the sand

I love this cute California Loving Girl!
