California Dreamin' ...


The Davis County Batemans thoroughly enjoyed their trip to California this week. Here are some highlights...


We had high hopes that the beach would be so fun as to take up an entire day. Malia did enjoy it for about 15 minutes as she played with her mom and dad in the waves. The tears started when she came back to the towel and realized she was sandy and dirty and the more she moved or tried to clean herself off the dirtier and sandier she got. If anyone remembers her 1st birthday cake, it was like this. The girl does not like to be dirty! Her hair's covering her face in the picture, but there are some pretty big alligator tears...while Tessa is happy just being alive...so very typical! :)

Disneyland was by far the highlight! Malia loved Mickey and Minnie's houses. This was a chair in Mickey's house that Malia had a hard time leaving because she just wanted to sit and "watch a show with Tessa." (They had old Mickey movies playing on his little T.V.).

She may not like being dirty, but she does like making friends. This was a jumping "ride" at Knotts Berry Farm. She immediately found a friend to share in her glee.
Here's Darrin and the girls on the Safari ride at Disneyland...we were surprised how many rides we could actually take Tessa and Malia on. We had a great time!

I couldn't help but use the word "cute" about 73 times while looking at the pictures of your CUTE girls.
