The second week of spring break we drove down to Southern California to spend the week in Escondido, CA at our timeshare. It was beautiful and was right on the 17th hole of the golf course. It had about 5-6 pools and recreation centers with fun activities throughout the day. We spent some time at the pool, some time making sundaes and some time painting ceramic owls and cupcakes. We had fun.
We arrived Friday afternoon and just hung out since we had been in a car for 8-9 hours. (The girls did great). We didn't do much since we got there late, we had to stop at my parents house in see them since we were driving right by and hadn't seen them in a while. We went to dinner with the family and were lucky enough to be joined by Scott and Nicole, Tyler and Shalena. So happy to see all of them.
Saturday, we settled in some more, went grocery shopping and met my parents for a while. We went to the pool and played in the splash pad area and then eventually ended up in the pool. Evelyn still had her cast on but since it was waterproof it worked out fabulous.
Sunday was Easter so we headed to Riverside and celebrated with my mom and dad, brothers, sister-in law, girlfriend and grandparents. It was a fun occasion filled with laughter and love. The girls LOVED it all the great stuff they got in their baskets. We had dinner at my grandparents house and it was a really nice time. The highlight though, was my dad and grandpa competing to see who was better at golf. My grandfather beat out my dad. Sorry Dad!. We all got to hit some balls while the girls ran around in the grass playing. It was a beautiful day with family.
Monday was DISNEYLAND and the girls did not know anything about it. We got up, dressed them up in princess outfits and were on our way. We had a wonderful time and met lots of princesses and rode a couple of rides. The girls were great and LOVED going. They wanted to go back.
Thursday we headed off to the San Diego Zoo with both Yayas, which was a rare treat. The animals are phenomenal and the park is beautiful. There are some wonderful exhibits and the girls are in love with all things animal so it was the perfect time to go. We saw the new Elephant Odyssey exhibit which was great. The coolest thing we saw were two rhinos playing with each. One actually lifted the other off the ground. It was a fantastic moment. Too bad both girls were sleeping.
Friday we checked out and headed to my mom's work to celebrate my grandmother's retirement. It was neat to see her happy and surrounded by family and friends.
After the retirement party, my mom got to do something that is so rare it has only been done a couple times before. We got to get pedicures together with no kids. It was FABULOUS and just what I needed. I got alone time with my mom to talk in person. Thank you mom.
Saturday we headed home again. The girls were great the entire trip and I am so glad so many people could see us and the girls. I miss my family so much but times like these make them so much more special. I love you all.
Enjoy the Pics.
