free vacation

This weekend we stayed at some friends' house while they were away. There is so much to do in Orange County, so it was nice to stay local and not make the trek back and forth. We had a wonderful weekend, topped off a great celebration of Cam's 4th birthday today.

Saturday we stopped by Chris's brother's family and hung out a while. Once we got to our house, we played at the nearby park and relaxed after the kids were in bed. Cam was so excited to sleep in his, "top bed" since it was his first experience with bunk beds.



On Sunday, we started out early at the park, then headed to The Grove after Kendall's nap. Chris had always wanted to go and it was fun to walk around and see the Farmer's Market. I couldn't resist taking a pic of my two, coordinating guys.



That evening we had one of my dearest friends, Karen, and her family over for dinner. We rarely get to see one another since our friendship is almost entirely through email, so it was fun to actually spend time with her and her family.



This morning I burst into Cam's room whooping and hollering about his 4th birthday. We walked to the store to get his special birthday donut. The rest of the day was spent at Disneyland, accompanied by both my parents. It was beautiful weather and the summer crowds were gone for the most part. Kendall hadn't been in a while so it was fun to see her enjoy It's a Small World. We were planning on spending another night, but decided to head home so Chris could get a full days' work in tomorrow since we are heading up to his parents' on Friday. It was a fun weekend and a great way to celebrate my little guy's birthday.

p.s. I just had to take a pic of Kendall when we arrived home. I was throwing food back at her left and right to keep the happiness going. There was food in crevices of that seat I didn't even know existed. What a MESS!!!!
