Zion National Park...Gwynn was too tired to walk.
Super Dad!!!
After we departed with Park City the vacation continues to be a great time. On Saturday it was off to Zion National Park were we went on a hike and took some beautiful pictures. On Saturday night we traveled to Bolder City and spent the nite in a hotel and visited the cute down town and had dinner at a brewery with live music were Gwynn and Charlie danced. Gwynn as usual charmed everyone with her dance moves and smile. The next day we visited the Hover Dam and went on a little walk to view the Dam from different angles. On our walk back to the car Gwynn got her worst nose bleed to date.... Charlie had to carry her back to the car.
Then it was off to California to visit my family. We stayed with my aunt in Red lands were the kids got spoiled rotten. Gwynn had a blast with my uncle Dennis (in my family everyone refers to him as the baby whisper..babies and kids just plain love him!!). My aunt and uncle took us out to Lake Havasu on there boat/yacht. Gwynn and Payton both had an absolute blast. Gwynn was jumping off the boat and swimming. Gwynn also had her first ride on an tube were she said "whooho, wow!!!", and "wee". She had such a great time and defiantly is our little water baby. Charlie, Reagan and I all did some wake boarding also. Charlie and Reagan did some cliff jumping....Gwynn was in the boat watching saying me too, Me TOO! She really wanted to jump off the big rocks. Gwynn seriously has no fear!! We had lunch at an amazing Mexican restaurant they frequent in Havasu. It has the best Mexican food we all agreed. I can see why they drive three hours for it and and some quite time on the river . We all then pilled back into the car for the long trip home were everyone fell asleep instantly. It was one of our favorite parts of the trip. It was so nice to be outside on a sunny day and watch our two babies have such a wonderful time. Gwynn's big bright eyes and smiles made Charlie and I melt.
On Tuesday we went to Disney Land were Gwynn and Payton were amazing we stayed from eleven until nine. Gwynn was bright eyed once again and looked around taking everything in. She was very quite at first just looking around in amazement. Gwynn went on all the kiddy rides...tea cups, dumbo, Mr.Toads wild ride, and many more. Payton also got to go on a few rides including the Pirates of the Caribbean, Winnie the Pooh and Jungle Cruz. It was nice because the first half of the day it was just our little family then Dennis and Reagan meet up with us.. Charlie, Reagan and I went on some big rides while the kiddo's crashed in the strollers. Dennis was our baby sitter and he played the kids to sleep. Dennis also had to spoil Gwynn with a special dress up outfit and some cool toys. We are defiantly getting loaded down on our ride home. We plan to make Disney Land at Lake Havasu a yearly family vacation. Until its not cool anymore to Payton and Gwynn.
On Wednesday we headed for Santa Cruz, we took the 101 for the scenic views and it was a pretty drive. We visited with my Mom and sister Ali in Santa Cruz. They have an amazing place right in town were you can walk to the old down town. We went on a walk with my mom on Thursday morning and she showed us around. She also took us out for some coffee and breakfast at a cute coffee shop called Lu Lu's. It was so good to see her and Gwynn kept calling her Banana instead of Grandma or Nana she is banana. It was a great visit and now were back in the car and headed for Oregon for a couple more stops on our way home.
More photos will be posted after my camera is charged up....stay tuned in....for part 4 and the vacation final post!!!
