Off to California

For the boy's Spring Break we decided to head to California for the kids' first visit to Disneyland and some time in Los Angeles.

We spend the first part of the vacation in Anaheim, CA staying at the Disneyland Hotel. The location allowed us to walk to the parks and take the monorail directly from the park back to the hotel. It also had several fun dining options and a pool which we enjoyed taking advantage of during mid-day park breaks.

Our hotel was directly adjacent to Downtown Disney which provided its own entertainment and food options.

For a short month, February always seems to pack in a lot... Oysterfest, Mimi's Birthday, Valentine's Day, Mom's Birthday, Winter Break and the Lovett Auction.

Avery (7 years, 6 months) - Avery is doing cheerleading after school and softball this Spring. After watching a few friends play in the Fall she decided to to give softball another shot this Spring and has enjoyed it so far. She is the youngest on the team but has been hanging in their and enjoying getting to know her teammates. Her team was able to pick their name and they are the "Thunder".

Parker (10 years, 3 months) - Parker's highlight of the month was definitely his baseball team winning their first Spring tournament. They only get to play a few in the Spring so they were excited to make this one count! Their prize was matching beanies which they were all amused by.
