California Trip Days 4 & 5: YANKEES GAMES

We always have such a good time at the Yankees games win or lose, and we were lucky enough this year to see them win at least one.  Whenever we go they seem to lose!  Dawson, Lisa, Abby and Lex came with us to the games.  We had a very successful trip getting autographs as well.  We got Derek Jeter, A-Rod (twice), Johnny Damon (twice), Mariano Rivera, Reggie Jackson and others.




Dallin and Frank Robinson



Derek Jeter through Dallin a ball during batting practice and he and Abby were calling their other cousin Griffen to tell him about it.





Yes, I do know that 3+ hours is a bit long for little kids at a baseball game so I brought our portable DVD player for them.



The kids waiting happily for more autos after the game!





Johnny Damon, Dallin and Camden and I!!

The kids swam every morning at our hotel while Garrett worked befor the games.  It was a very fun trip.  It is our once a year tradition to go see the Yankees.  We love it, Garrett actually got us tickets to two games of the ALCS in Angel Stadium.  We can't wait.  And we are leaving kids home (all but Camden).

California Trip Day 3: DAVE & JENNY'S

Whenever we take our annual trip down to So. Cal.  We cannot leave without seeing Dave and Jenny, even if it is for only a few hours for dinner on Sunday afternoon. 





California Trip Day 2: DISNEYLAND



We had a great day at Disneyland.  It is really hard to get through everything in one dayl, but we did our best.  The kids thought it was awesome so that is all that matters!!  Kennedy loves Mickey and Minnie Mouse right now so she was excited to see them in real life.  Even Dallin still thinks the Characters are real.

California Vacation Day 1: NEWPORT BEACH

We left Friday morning and drove straight into Newport Beach. We had a fun filled afternoon. The kids love the beach. They played and played in the sand and water. Both kids swam in the cold water. I however refrained from swimming and stayed behind with Camden.






















Dallin says he looks like "The Sandman" from Spiderman.




They loved trying to build a sand castle. More just like mounds really, its a good thing kids have good imaginations.
