Newport Beach

For our real family vacation this year we took a trip with GG to Newport Beach, California. We traveled to a few different beaches, our hotel had some neat activities, had a birthday party for Brigitte, and got to go to Knott's Berry Farm!

The girls loved Knott's Berry Farm we decided to for go Disneyland because we are going to Disney World in December. Brigitte made her first stage appearance by helping Lucy go fishing. There weren't a ton of rides for the girls to ride but enough and they seemed to really enjoy it. Their favorite ride of course was a real life stage coach with real horses! Even got to talk to real cowboys!



Birthday's birthday was right in the middle of our vacation. All she requested was a frozen doll and a purple cake which of course she got both. She was very happy when she realized she got more presents too.


Gabriel and I went on a kayak adventure for two hours in the ocean. I told him 2 hours was a very long time but he said we would be fine! Well we had a lovely time going out and seeing all the different boats...however coming back going against the wind and waves was a little more challenging! We did see a real seal taking a nap on a boat. The pictures aren't that great because he wasn't moving by the time we got close enough he was tired and not moving. 
 So apparently people use there boats as storage units ...
 Here is a video of us getting up to the seal

We had a fun time on all the beaches! We built sand castles, body surfed, and looked for sea shells in the dark!




 And we couldn't leave Balboa Island without getting a frozen banana!
 Look at all those curls!!!
Here are just a few videos for your viewing pleasure!
