California Love

{Wiest Family Reunion 2011}

Juli took us on such a fun trip to Cali this past week- we all had a ball!  22 of us were off for a weekend of Disneyland and the beach. Considering there were 10 children under 6, we all survived and had such a great time together.

{Driving:: Oreo's kept Aubree (and the rest of us) entertained.}

{We went to Disneyland and California Adventure Thursday and Friday. You'll notice most pictures of Aubree are of her either crying/yelling at us.. I promise she doesn't hate life, she just is such a busy body that being contained for the sake of a picture is torture.  We had so much fun, but I think we'll wait to take her back til she's about 4 ish :) This was her 3rd time going (I know we are pathetic) and this was by far the hardest, but still SO fun!}

{Abbie, Allie, Aubree}

{Matt thinks it's funny to do "feminine" poses.}

{You can't really tell but Matt got completely drenched on Splash Mountain! He was so mad haha.}

{Aubree saw this Pluto stuffed animal and started barking at it; Matt's such a sucker that he bought it for her :) It was pretty cute and she carried it around our whole trip.}

Day 2:: Disneyland and California Adventures

{Apparently not the "happiest place on earth....."}

{Some of our cute family:: Ry, Jack, Juli, Allie, Ellie, Joy, Amanda}

{Dinner at Rainforest Cafe}

{After we ate, we took her outside to this little water fountain.. probably the most fun she had the whole trip.}

Day 3:: Huntington Beach

{Beach Day:: Aubree LOVED the beach! I was so excited to go b/c I knew she'd have a blast. The kids loved playing in the sand and running from the big waves.. Matt and I will eventually live on the beach someday, we both completely love it!}

{Lainey Lou and Aubree}

{Allie and Abbie}

{"Make sure to get a picture of me flexing and being awesome." You got it, Matt...}

{Kels and Me}

{Juli and Ellie}

{Lou, Natalie, Carson, Me, Amanda, Joy, Aubree}

We really had the best time! Everyone was so helpful and laid back (at least what I saw anyways haha) and we enjoyed being together as a family. THANKS so much Juli for an awesome vacation!
