Disney Vacay: Beach Day

You can't go to the California coast and not go to the beach.  It was suppose to be a very sunny hot day but it ended up being kind of cloudy and chilly.  Riley has never seen or touched the ocean.  The water was quite chilly but he loved wiggling his toes in the sand.

And you can't go to the beach with out getting buried in the sand. All the kids just had to bury Marc.

After crashing in the waves we went and had a bonfire cook out with some delicious s'mores. What a great day for the beach.

Disney Vacay

We just got back after spending a week at the Magic Kingdom.  It was such a fun trip and we were sad to come home.  All though it is always nice to be back sleeping in our own beds.  The main reason that brought us to Disney was the annual Families of SMA conference that was being held at the Disneyland Hotel.  The conference was Thursday to Sunday so we thought we would go a few days earlier to enjoy some other sites of California.  My cousin Aimee graciously opened her home for us to stay which was very fun.  Riley enjoyed being with all her kids.  Our first day was spent packing the car and driving.  My grandma lives in St. George so we stopped their for the night and packed up and did the rest of the drive the next day. 

Riley was so excited about this trip.  He had been up all day since 6:00 and once we got to grandma's he passed out in the bed only to wake up for a moment to get his bipap on.  We were able to get some good ones the next morning after we were all rested.

Riley did very well on the drive.  He really likes sitting up and looking outside.  Oh and the DVD player a huge life saver! And here we go...

First Summer Splash

Today was the first Grandma swim day of the summer.  This winter has been so long and so dreadfully cold this day couldn't have come soon enough.  Riley was all smiles as soon as he hit the water.  My mom bought this baby floater but Lexi couldn't sit up quite right in it so we lounged Riley in it.  Why didn't we think of this sooner?  This is the only way to lounge at the pool

We also like to swim the old fashion way too

baby Clayton came too. Didn't want mom to miss out on the first swim so we worked on our tan instead

This is what you get when 6 kids under 7 hit the pool together.

We all spent way more time in the pool than we thought we did so we're now bright red from head to toe. But it's all worth it in the end. Great way to start the Summer.
