California Trip

1st Stop, Meet with Grandma Van Der Hayden in the hotel. It was a happy reunion. Everyone was excited to see her for the first time in 2 1/2 to 3 years. Cathy was there but did not want to be photographed. I think it's because people are looking for her.

Disneyland with the kids

Jim and I took the kids to Disneyland. What a waste of money!

Kids in Frontier land.

Disney land/ Beach Day with the Down's

Beach day with a guest appearance by Bono. It was windy and cold, but it turned out to be a beautiful day and we even saw 3 dolphins swimming close to shore. This day was exciting and sad because our trip was coming to an end. It was just like old times and we got to spend the whole day together. After the beach we went to Trevor's to go swimming and have some cold Daddy's. Good Times, we'll never forget!

Trevor pulls Joshua out for his 1st boogie board ride.

Isaac and his best friend in the whole world boogie boardin.

I've never seen Isaac so happy. He had a blast with Collin.

Josh was in heaven, Trevor, his bestest buddy, showed him how to boogie board.

Collin looks on, as Bono gives Olivia a piggy back an Trevor shows Joshua how to handle the waves.

2 Of the same pics were put on here by accident. Oooops! Isn't she a cutie!

Trevor give Isaac his first boogie board lesson.

Little T.D. was soooo excited with the whole beach experience, until he put sand in his mouth and put his feet in the cold water.

Thea, Collin, Joshua, Trevor and Isaac having fun.

Bono and Joshua buried Isaac, Isaac got lots of sand in his mouth cuz of Bono's lack of focus.
