It seems like there are more pictures that need to be shared......

Just couldn't resist sharing more pictures from our trip
Who would have thought that they had these kinds of rides
at Sea World????
There are very few pictures of Kolton and Lexi from our trip (here's picture of their backs!). They had to leave a day earlier than the rest of us. They flew back to Salt Lake on Friday so they could be to their Drum Line state competition on Saturday.








Our three prego girls!!!!

California: Part two----Disneyland + 29 = fun!!!!


Yes, we actually made a trip to Disneyland with all 29 of our family. We arrived at different times, in different cars but all with a common goal and that was to create lasting family memories. After checking in to the motel we went to the beach, ready to play. The weather did not cooperate----it was windy and cold but we had fun anyway.




Next, after the beach was a jump into the motel swimming pool.
It was warm and clean and fun.
Friday morning could not arrive soon enough. We were up bright and early and were at the gates of Disneyland as soon as the park opened. Let the fun begin.........
How do you keep track of 29 people at Disneyland? You give them bright, personalized shirts! The girls (Kristi, Noelle and Stacy) designed and created theses shirts for everyone. Each family had their own color.
Here is Noelle's and Trent's family as they arrived at the park that morning. Their family color was blue.
The kids all love to hang out with Uncle Josh whenever possible. Josh's shirt color was yellow.

Stacy's and Taylor's color was green.
Here's Jeremy's and Heather's family (minus McCoy who stayed at Heather's friend's house for this first day). Their color was grey but they look sooo blue in this picture.
Marilyn's and Matt's family color was orange.
Jeremy's and Kristi's family were blue also, but they were a darker blue than the DeGroots.
Deco's and Kera's family color was coral (Deco preferred that it be called coral rather than pink)
Here we are all together. This is my awesome family. Mine and Jed's shirts were tie dyed with all of the colors of each family.

Following are a random assortment of the different things we did at Disneyland.






Riding the shuttle back to the motel at the end of the day. These are some exhausted people!!





The second day at Disneyland was just as much fun and just as tiring.

Livvy, Scout and Addi got to eat lunch with some of the princesses. These sweet, little girls were the most beautiful princesses ever.

Disneyland is a magical place. We loved every minute that we spent there with our family!!!!


California: Part One

Our family took on a very ambitious challenge as we decided to go on a family vacation together-----all 29 of us!!! The destination was Disneyland in Anaheim. We were to all meet up there on Thursday afternoon. Marilyn's and Matt's family graciously invited me to go with them a few days early and take in SeaWorld also. We spent all day Wednesday at SeaWorld. It was awesome!!!!
Our first adventure was on a ride called "Journey to Atlantis". It was splashy, wet and fun.
Next was the dolphin show. They are so cute and loveable.

Noelle, Trent, Maxon & Scout met up with us around noon.

The whale show was amazing as usual. How do you get a whale to jump and do flips and even come up on a platform out of the water?



The Sea Lions were full of personality.


Who ever knew you could actually play with star fish?

Thanks Roberts family for allowing me to crowd your car and your motel room. It was so much fun!!!!
