Family Vacation!

Once upon a time in October we went on a family vacation to California with the Hales clan! It was pretty exciting; the entire family got to come! We're up to a group of 14! Woot.

Jon, Torbin and I got to ride with my parents which was a nice break for us. Torbin loved the long ride and slept most of the way. First stop was Cedar City to see Megan!! Yay for Megan! It was fun to catch up for a minute- I miss her. (Don't you love how we're not looking at my camera?)

We got to Cali on Sunday. Monday the rest of the fam went to Disneyland, but we didn't want to brave the whole day with Torbin being so small, so we stayed at the condo which was right on the beach. Woot. We went to dinner at the Marina and just had fun relaxing.
Tuesday we went to Mickey's Halloween party. It was very wet. But we all looked good sportin our ponchos. :) Grandma and Grandpa were nice enough to watch Torbin while we went on some rides with Kolby and Cami, and some with Camron, Amy, and Bryscon.


To wait for the rain to go away we took a break on Wednesday from the parks and we went to the Newport Beach temple with Kolby and Cami. It was very nice.
Thursday we went to Seaworld!! (It was a much easier park with a baby because we could take him everywhere with us). Torbin watched the Sealion and Otter show... and that was about it. But he sure looked cute in his hat chillin in his stroller! We were seriously impressed with how they can train those animals! So cool.

This is the cutest smile in the world!!! Torbin was so excited to be talking to Amy! He seems to love his aunts the best so far.
We just had to cross the street to get to the beach. Torbin liked the wind... for a minute.
Mommy's little pumpkin for Halloween at Disney. He's so cute!
At the beach again. :) Yay for the Moby sling. It was chilly but a nice day so we had a picnic. We went to the "El Torito" restaurant on Monday and so Camron decided that Torbin would become El Torito!! I wish I could type in Camron's accent... it's pretty funny.

Saturday we drove back, stopped in Primm to go on the awesome rollercoaster!!! (Just me, Dad, and Camron went, everyone else cheered us on) then we went to the outlets in Vegas. After a poosplosion and a change of clothes Torbin got caught behind the wheel with Daddy! :)

We had so much fun hanging out with everyone!! It was a nice break for Jon and very nice for me to get to spend the whole week with Jon without work!! Yay. It's probably the last big family vacay we'll go on for a while since our numbers are always growing.
