A quick trip to SoCal

We took a quick but action-packed trip to Orange County a couple weekends ago for my 20 yr high school reunion. When I realized we would be there with less than 2 weeks before Max's 1st birthday, we decided to throw a little party. We enlisted help from my dad and Sharon. They were a huge help (reserving the park and buying food and supplies!), but then my poor dad ended up in the hospital with kidney stones! We still managed to throw together a great party with more help (thanks Tammy & Jeanne!!) but Dad and Sharon were missed. There are more pics from the camera and good ones other people took, but here's what I have for now.
This rainbow was the first thing we saw in the dusky sky as we got off the plane in Long Beach.




Friday we went to Disneyland! Thankfully my "cousin" Louis Broido works there and signed us in. Can you tell someone was excited??




Waiting in line for the Peter Pan ride. Riah is kinda obsessed with Peter Pan.




Riding the carousel with Bubbe Linda :)




Max enjoyed the Mickey Mouse ice cream.




Selfie of me and my boy :)

We tried to get another without the weird shadows. Fail. It was late and Moriah was exhausted. A brief meltdown ensued. Oh well. Such is life with little ones.




Saturday afternoon we took a quick trip to the beach to check out the tide pools and play a bit. Moriah was happy to be wrapped up in Mickey after our trip to DL.




Saturday night was the reunion. My step-sister Jeanne and her daughter were so amazing. They drove all the way down to my dad's house (where we were staying) to watch the kids so we could go!




So much fun seeing old friends!




I really loved getting to see my friend Shannon - one of my dearest friends from high school!!!




Our hubbies kept each other company :)




My funny girl getting ready for Max's party - posing in her super hero shirt and new fairy wreath. That's my moriah :)




So here's the birthday boy!! Sound asleep through his party... I finally had to wake him up for cake and presents :)




Moriah and her new BFF Julianna (my friend Joyce came worth her two kiddos!)




Max was much more interested in touching his cupcake than eating it. I'm figuring this was a sneak preview anyway and maybe he'll be more interested in a couple weeks for the real deal :)




He ended up eating a little :)


So fun spending time with some of my oldest and dearest!


Riah and Juju enjoying the treats!



Some silly play time after...








Finally in seattle! Rob on the lookout for the shuttle to our car...




Moriah was keeping an eye out. She was looking at the words on the shuttles to see which one started with A (aeropark).
