August full of 'A's'!

Our month of August has been brought to you by the letter "a". We had a lot of Anticipation for our Disneyland and beach house Adventure. We have been on vacation for almost a week now with over a week to go! We've hit Disneyland twice and had an Amazing time!! Also, we went to California Adventure (what an Adventure that was) We then packed up the car and headed toward Ventura, CA for a week at the beach house with the family. So far, the trip has been completely Awesome!! We're having a great time and are looking forward to more excitement. I'll post pictures later : )

We have passes to seven peaks water park. Here are some picutres of our first adventure

Hot Air ballooning

We are part of the ReMax balloon team. This was the kids first time (and Joel's) setting up a hot air balloon and they did great!

 Everyone got out of bed way before the normal time

 Cathy making a plan

 Alexanders is always the first to go up. They carry the American Flag

 The kiddos loved the pig balloon

 Seeing as I can't set up a balloon and take pictures at the same time...all you get is the end. The kids got to help pack the balloon back in the bag. Thanks Grandpa Jim and Uncle Paul for lifting them up

 Joel jumped right in.

 Such a big helper

 They loved being in the basket
