The Happiest Place on Earth

Oh dear, I should have posted this weeks ago!

Over Fall Break, the Stringhams hopped on a plane from Miami to Phoenix, stayed over night at a friend's house in Arizona, then drove the rest of the way to Newport Beach, California. Meanwhile, Dad, Mom, Jeff, Me, Lindsay, and Josh drove from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas, and then in the morning we drove from Vegas to Newport where we met the Stringhams!  It was so fun to see them! 

We stayed in California for a whole week, during which we went to the beach, rode bikes around balboa island, and went to Disneyland! It was a very fun-filled exciting week. Sean and Andrea didn't get there until the fourth day, but we didn't go to Disneyland without them so it was okay!

I can't believe it was my third time in Newport this year...Oh how I LOVE LOVE LOVE that place! It is so fun to hang out on the beach, ride bikes on the boardwalk, play in the waves, and so much more!

The first day at Disneyland, we walked into the gates of California Adventure Park.  When we got through the gates we were all gathering each other together.  While we were distracted by planning what to do first, Andrea was able to sneak away for a minute to talk to a Disneyland employee.  No one noticed until the lady Andrea was talking to came over to us and asked if we wanted our picture taken.  Dad gave the woman her camera and we all got together, including Andrea.  To be honest, i was a little confused, we were taking our picture in front of the Disneyland bathroom! Then the lady started counting. "1.2.3, say cheese!"  she took the first picture and then said "Okay, ONE MORE!" we waited as she counted again. "1.2..." she stopped "ANDREA'S PREGNANT!"  She managed to snap a picture and capture everyone's reaction to the big news!  Yay Andrea and Sean!! I can't wait to be an Aunt again in May 2014!

So the trip was awesome! I think everyone had a really good time, a nice way to spend time over the long fall break.  Plus, it was the first time EVERYONE was together since the day Jeff left for the MTC in June of 2011! CRAZY!

Here are some pictures from the trip...

    

                                         

Those are just a few of my favorite pictures from the trip! There are so many more on my dad's camera that I don't have access too! Anyway, the trip was so much fun! I wish it never ended!
