Surprises

After we spent time with family in Big Bear, California, Daddy decided we were so close that we should venture to the coast. We didn't tell the kids about this part of our trip. So they were super excited when we surprised them with a hotel, and then the beach. It was a perfect day at the beach. Warm weather, warm water, and the kids had so much fun playing in the ocean.

 

Then next morning we woke up bright and early to get ready to go home. But first, the kids wanted to ride the Disneyland Shuttle to the park and look around, since we were so close.

We got to the front gates and then told them our surprise.....

Haha.... like Little Man's reaction?

And here are some pictures from the day.

These next 2 pictures are a little blurry and poor quality, but I wanted to show the difference in their energy levels.  So at the begining of the day everyone was super excited about our days adventures.....

And since we stayed from 8am-midnight the kids were EXHAUSTED. I asked them to look at me and smile, and they couldn't even crack a smile. Daddy's not really pooped like them, he just did it for a fun picture. Several times throughout the day Little Man asked to go back to the hotel and rest. But then we would remind him of the next ride we were going on and he would perk back up and start skipping to the next place. They had a blast, and walked the whole day!
