No summer is complete without a vacation. I got to escape with my mom to California to see Brooke & Emma compete at LADM. I was the resident hair/makeup girl. I was also supposed to help out with Nick. Which I did sometimes, but I couldn't handle him for too long. Once, after he spilled root beer all over my pants at Disneyland, I told my mom every time I spend time with Nick I add another tick mark to the number of years I want to wait before I have children. He is a little devil, but we love him. It was awesome to get to see Brooke & Emma do their solos. I am so proud of them! We had a good time at Disneyland, & I was most excited when Steven got to come! It was his first time to Disneyland. We wore him out cramming absolutely all we could into one day!!
We all invaded my aunt & uncle's house in St. George for the weekend so we could attend my cousin Lindsay's farewell talk!
Then we packed everything up & drove to Arizona.
We spent a very relaxing, hot week on the Hakuna Matata house boat with our friends the Christensen's. It was really, really fun!!
After ripping his first frog crown he was happy to get another.
We all really enjoyed our balloon animals!
Super Hotdog & Super Batman
Nick LOVED jumping into the pool!
Crystal Cove was so beautiful!
He loves sand. The second we saw sand he ran & rolled in it.
I even caught him licking the sand off his hand once...
He can be so cute sometimes!
Then you remember he is a whiny little cuss.
(Also, I would just like to point out his face looks scarily similar to that of a Weeping Angel.)
Most of Disneyland was convincing Nick to go on the 'scary' rides so someone didn't have to sit out with him.
He ended up liking them all.
Pixies.
He couldn't eat anything without getting it all over his face.
We tried to get a picture with Mickey 3 times.
When we finally got one, the photo lady was NOT a good photographer.
All the pictures we got were blurry.
We didn't take too many pictures in Powell. I was certain I'd drop my camera in the lake.
Steven really enjoyed all the water sports though!!
We had a grand time & wish we didn't have to come back to real life.
(It's been a week & we still haven't unpacked. Shhh...)
