We drove up Thursday, checked into our hotel and went straight out to Dana Pointe. We took a two hour whale and dolphin tour. The boat ride was wild and our kids thought it was the best thing they ever did. I got it off Groupon and I can't say enough good things about it.
We saw three blue whales and a humpback. I was off on the pictures, but they were beautiful!
On Friday we got up early, ate a big breakfast, and were there when the park opened at 9:00!
Julianne wanted to see Chip and Dale the most, and they were waiting just inside the gate. She got their autographs in the book we bought her for her birthday.
Then we rode ALL of the rides and there was hardly any lines. Julianne was such a trooper! She rode all the roller coaster including Space Mountain at 9:00 at night!
Julianne loved the parade! They kept shouting happy birthday to her since she was wearing a her birthday button. She thought it was the greatest!
Julianne got a button necklace with a gift card granny and deac got her.
We stayed at the park until 10:30. Two minutes after we hit the car this is what we saw. It was honestly the best day! THe weather was perfect and our family created awesome memories!!!
After sleeping in we packed up and headed to Newport Beach for a relaxing day at the beach. We ate sandwiches, played in the water, and built sand castles all afternoon.
After a nap at the hotel we went to Jane and Richard's for a BBQ. THe kids loved playing with their cousins.

We got laughing about selfies, and we got silly with them! We love spending time with the Dolans and Snyders!
We left Sunday morning with a bundle of great memories.
