California Vaca

After my dad received his terminal diagnosis we immediately started planning one last family vacation. The plan was to go to Disneyland to make some lifelong memories before he was too sick to travel. Unfortunately his health declined so quickly the trip never happened. In April we decided to go to Disneyland in his memory. We had a great time but I was horrible at taking pictures in the park. Ryder is one of the most charming kids in history of the world but the terrible twos are in full force and he was all too happy to provide distractions galore. Here are some pictures we managed to get.

Ryder loved going on rides but HATED waiting in line.

I had no idea there were goats at Disneyland. It was by far one of the favorite parts of the trip. Goats are hilarious. If they didn't stink so bad I might consider getting one as a family pet.

One afternoon we took a trip to Laguna beach. We had a blast and got some fun pictures.

Alex, Ryder, and Tony. This is one of my favorite pictures of the trip.

Cute Brady. He LOVED the ocean.

Ryder ADORES his aunt Katie.

This is another favorite of the trip.  I love this little guy.
