Ayotte Family Vacation


This year we spent our Ayotte Family vacation in sunny Southern California. Everyone came except for Kim and Blair and they were very missed. We spent the first part of our trip in Oceanside. We pretty much spent most of the days at the beach. The kids could have played all day long in the sand and it was very relaxing.



We also had some fun times at the condo playing games or tennis and swimming. Tag and Maddie had so much fun with their cousins, Ada and Boston.

We spent one day at Laguna Beach, which is one of our most favorite beaches. We buried Tag in the sand and gave him a great beach bod! He loved it!

After Laguna, we headed to Anaheim to stay the next few days. We stayed at a great condo that was so close to Disneyland. We had a little balcony and could watch the Disney fireworks every night! It was great! When we weren't at Disneyland we were hanging at the pool. Here we are in the hot tub, I couldn't get my kids out of it!

After all the relaxing on the beach, we headed to Disneyland. Maddie loved all the characters. She would just run up to them and give them the biggest hugs. Tag, on the other hand, wasn't such a fan of them. But he had just as much fun going on most of the bigger rides with us. He went on Matahorn, Splash Mountain, and Thunder Mountain Railroad. We were so surprised that he was so brave and loved them!


My Mom and Claudia were awesome to take the kids when we went on the bigger rides. Here is Nana with the kiddos while we went on Matahorn. Look at those happy faces!


Here we all are with our glasses on for the Toy Story ride, which is one of our favorites!

Heres another crazy glasses shot, this time from Bug's Life. This really scared Maddie to death!


Maddie is sooo obsessed with Snow White, so she was thrilled to see her. She talked about it for days and kept saying, "No White." We also went to see Tinkerbell or as Maddie calls her "Pinkibell." I think seeing these two made her day! Oh, and let's not forget about Minnie. You can just tell she is beaming in this picture!



Heres a picture of all the girls. This was Jocelyn's first time to Disneyland!



It was one of the most fun vacations we have ever had! We are missing Disney and the Beach so bad already. We are also already missing our family! Thanks so much for such a fun vacation and we really missed you Kim and Blair!
