Brian really enjoyed his first trip to Disneyland :o)

Brian's first time swimming

The water was too cold and it was nighttime, so he didn't last long in the water

Sunset in California

We had a great time down in California last week. We went to Disneyland and California Adventure the first 3 days we were there. It was really warm and sunny and tons of people were there (although they were saying they had about 30,000 less people than normal there- it sure didn't seem like it!). Brian liked all the rides we took him on. He didn't cry or get scared by Pirates of the Carribean like I thought he might. He slept a lot and we tried to keep him out of the sun as much as possible, so we don't have a ton of pictures at the park, at least not on our camera. We took him swimming for his first time at the hotel, but we went at night when it was colder, so he didn't like it much and only lasted a minute or so in the water. We stayed at a gorgeous beach house on Sunset Beach for the last part of the week. It was great waking up and seeing the ocean and beach right outside the window. We spent a day in Hollywood seeing the Walk of Fame and foot/hand prints in front of the Grohmen's Chinese Theater and Kodak Theater. We also drove up to Hollywood Hills to see some of the fance houses, but couldn't find our way to the really big ones. It was still fun to finally see Hollywood. Brian did pretty well on the flight down and back. Overall it was a great trip! Thanks Mom and Dad for inviting us!!
