June 21st, we arrived in Newport Beach, CA. My Aunt Mary Anne and Uncle Steve picked us up at the airport and we were so excited to see them. When we arrived at the condo. Jordan was so excited to see Zack and Jake, her cousins.
Monday, my sister, brother-in-law, Zack and Jake went to the La Brea Tar Pits. We headed for the LA American Girl store at The Grove and then met the cousins in Hollywood for lunch. Here they are on the Hollywood Walk of Fame -- the El Capitan Theatre is in the background. Side note: It was weird that we were there on Monday looking at the various stars and then 3 days later Michael Jackson passed away as did Farrah Fawcett.
Disney's Soda Fountain and Studio Store Hollywood - We met my family at this Disney Soda shop for lunch. It was cute and the food was good. It was on the Walk of Fame.

CHH and Katelyn outside of the Disney Soda shop. I like how they have the new Disney "Up" movie cartoons drawn on the soda shop's windows.After visiting Hollywood, we drove down Sunset Blvd through Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, etc. We drove over Rodeo Drive, past The Beverly Hills Hotel (the "Pink Palace"), Bundy Dr., etc.
Tuesday, we went to Disney! Grandma went with the group and was thrilled to go with her grandkids to Disney.
Jordan and Katelyn were excited to see Minnie.
Jordan riding the Winnie the Pooh ride with her cousin, Jake.After Disneyland, we went over to Disney's California Adventure and went on rides in Bug's Land at that park. While there, Jordan made an amazing comment to CHH and I. She commented that all the big plants over our heads made it appear that we were the bugs. CHH and I had not thought about it that way but we think she is right. Disney has designed all these huge fake plants and we were indeed quite small compared to these plants, like bugs. I was amazed that she thought of it this way and probably is correct.
Wednesday, we hung out at the resort (Marriott's Newport Coast Villas timeshare resort) with my Aunt and Uncle. They are the ones who hosted us at this fabulous time share. We really appreciated it and they are always go good to us. Jordan took to Uncle Steve and you can see him carrying her!
The whole group eating at my Aunt and Uncle's favorite hole-in-the-wall place to eat while in Newport.
My girls back at the resort. We walked around and really enjoyed the view.
The girls holding hands with Jake and following the cousins around the resort.
Katelyn loved viewing the fish every day at the resort. She would get down on her stomach and get close to the water to see them.
Thursday, we went to Legoland. It was amazing to see all the various items built from legos. Here the girls are in front of the capital in Miniland USA. Miniland USA presents famous landmarks built entirely from Legos.
Standing in line in "Land of Adventure" to go on the "Lost Kingdom Adventure" ride at Legoland.

We did not see the “Bob the Builder" in 4-D show but when we were walking by we did see "Bob the Builder" so we got a picture with him.
Jordan was absolutely adorable on this ride in the Castle Hill portion of the park. The ride was so cute. It was the Royal Joust ride where kids could ride their very own LEGO horse through an enchanted forest, complete with jousting Lego knights. Katelyn was not allowed to go on it because you had to be at least 4 years old. The good thing was Katelyn was fast asleep in her stroller so she did not know otherwise -- thank goodness.
Both girls got their faces painted at Legoland. They love to have their faces painted. Katelyn woke up just in time to get hers done as well like her sister.
We also went to the Sea Life Aquarium at Legoland. It was great and the girls loved it. The aquarium is geared towards children and incorporated lego models in the various sea life exhibits.
Here CHH is helping Katelyn touch a star fish. Katelyn loved this!
The sisters back at the resort once again looking at the fish. 
Friday, CHH and I took the girls for lunch at the Shake Shack. It is a great place to get lunch and shakes. You sit on benches outside and overlook the ocean. It is a beautiful view and a great place to eat lunch.
Saturday we went to Laguna Beach. The girls had a great time running in the water and playing in the sand.
Jordan buried her lower body in the sand. She thought this was so funny. Katelyn helped her do so.

The last night in CA, Jordan and Jacob put on a show for everyone. They had been talking about it for days. They were so funny because they used the luggage cart as their stage. It was adorable and they had fun.
Katelyn with the cousins on the last night in CA. It was a wonderful vacation and we had so much fun. Thank you again to my wonderful Aunt and Uncle for having us out. We planned this trip over a year ago and we couldn't believe how quick it went while there. That is what happens when you have a great time!
