Sunday, Apr 26, we flew down to LAX, rented a car, then drove to Lake Elsinore where we would be staying until our trip to Disneyland!
We stayed with long-time family friends, Mark and Janine Williams. They are some of the best people I've ever known! The moment we walked in their house and they started speaking it was like a weird flashback experience. It had been at least 16 years since I had seen/heard them but they were still so familiar to me. It was so great seeing them again!
Waiting at the gate! Can you tell by my face this was early morning? Haha!
About to take off!
Gemma napped most of the flight (as did Tyler). I was too excited to sleep though. And I can't remember if Maisy napped at all...I think she was probably too excited to nap.
The drive to the Williams' was longer than our flight, if you can believe it!
This was the moment the girls first met! They don't know it, but they're going to be great friends!
This picture cracks me up!
After getting a little settled, we changed into our swimsuits and left for Oceanside with Megan and Travis!

We got back from the beach to find this- a chocolate fountain!!
Mark and Janine had a seminary party at their house and this was the dessert! They had lots leftover so we ate a lot (or, at least I did). Sooooo good. Why don't I own a chocolate fountain? I should own a chocolate fountain. Haha!
I'm bummed this is the only picture I have of Janine!
We joked about bringing the chocolate fountain out to the hot tub, but I was scared it would be knocked into the water, so instead I just got the boys & Maisy a plate of treats!
Gemma and I got in the hot tub, but not for very long. Gemma was scared of it. Hahah! Megan and Josie didn't come in cause Josie had a little fever.
The next morning while I was in the shower I suddenly began to feel very nauseous. I got ready as fast as I could so I could just go sit on the couch and relax. By this point, Megan and Amanda, the oldest of the Williams kids, had arrived with their kids!
While sitting on the couch, chatting, it hit me. I made it to the bathroom just in time to throw up in the toilet! Then it dawned on me- I was dehydrated! The whole time at the beach I was good at reminding Maisy to drink lots of water, and having Gemma drink lots, but I didn't even think about myself getting enough! So dumb. Well, after I got that out of my system, I ate a little, and drank a lot of water and quickly began to feel better.
We all just hung out the remainder of the day and I took some pictures of the kids!
Got these babies matching outfits! I couldn't resist.
