~Newport Beach~

Newport Beach (Drew's first road trip)

In June (I am really getting behind) we went to Newport beach in CA for a week with Ted's whole family (minus one neice) and had a blast!!! We drove down so we were gone for 10 days and it flew by. Drew did awesome on the drive and it made us feel like we could do other small road trips with him. He was also a trooper the whole trip. I actually think that since we have been home he has been a little bored without his 15 cousins to entertain him.
We stayed in a beach house/condo and spent time at the beach and having fun with the family. Drew loved putting his feet in the ocean (even though it was pretty cold). We also went to Disneyland and again Drew was a trooper (he loves stroller rides, so I think it was a glorified stroller ride for him). We did take him on a couple rides including the Pirates ride and I felt like a horrible mom for doing that because it scared him; he would burry his head in my shoulder and kind of whimper, poor kid. It went by way too fast but was a ton of fun.

The cousins have all kinds of fun on the beach
