Fall Break - Day 4 Disneyland

We convinced the Brauns to come with us to Disneyland and we ended up having the best time with them! We got park hopper passes and I have to say I was shocked that we were able to get everything done in both parks that we wanted to! It's nice not to have little kids so we were able to focus on all the rides that we knew we would want to go on. It was good to see that our family can now do Disneyland in one day if we wanted to and we don't need to plan a whole Disney vacation and spend all our time there. We will definitely remember that in the future as I have a feeling we will be coming to Newport a lot over the years. It really was the best day!

Fall Break - Day 3

Today we spent the day relaxing. We watched our home ward's sacrament meeting on zoom and enjoyed having nothing on the schedule. We ventured out with the Brauns and walked around the island. We got the kids all fed and settled at the beach houses then the adults went to dinner. It was such a pleasant day and the time to relax was very needed!

Fall Break - Day 2

We only stayed in Anaheim for the first 2 nights, which meant we had to check out this morning and we couldn't check into our beach house in Newport until this evening.  So we found a sports grill to stop at so Josh could watch the BYU game and we could hang out for the afternoon. They gave us the perfect spot in the restaurant on their covered patio so we had the whole end to ourselves to relax and watch the game. Unfortunately they didn't play very well so that was a bummer. But the girls had fun doing their diamond paintings. We met up with the Brauns after we checked into our beach house and immediately walked over to get frozen bananas! We played games for the evening and just enjoyed our time with the Brauns.
