The Perham Gang ~ Party of 5: Our trip to California

A couple weeks ago the Perham Gang headed to California. In the past we have stayed in Carlsbad but this year we rented a beach condo in Oceanside. We loved our property, we loved that it was right on the beach, we loved that it was 2 bedrooms and we loved that we had a kitchen!!! Travelling with 3 kids is hard but it's so much easier when you have space and a kitchen...and a mom that comes with us!

We arrived on a wednesday afternoon and headed to carlsbad for dinner at our favorite pizza joint. It was just as good as we had remembered from last years visit.

Then on Thursday we hit Lego Land!!! This is our third trip there and it gets better every time we go. Why?? Because the boys get bigger and are able to do more things.

Cole was finally big enough to ride this roller coaster ride. Let me tell you...I went on it first with Cole and I have not been on a roller coaster in a LONG TIME. That drop was crazy. how we convinced Cole to go on it a second time is beyond me. We may of scarred him.

Carson loves airplanes so he was in heaven when he got to ride this.

But then he found out he wasn't old enough to drive the cars. That broke our hearts.

Miss Caylee girl was finally let out of the stroller and had a great time playing around. She really is a trooper.

Friday morning we headed to the san diego out of africa zoo. the zoo was amazing and we had such a great time. We scored some awesome weather during our trip.

Later that night we headed to the San Diego Padres game who just so happened to be playing the AZ Diamondbacks. My mom stayed back with Caylers and we headed to the game with just the boys. The boys had a lot of fun. they ate cracker jacks, cotton candy, hot dogs and lord knows what else. needless to say they had a great time and the stadium there is amazing.

the bridge outside of the stadium. the kids got a kick out of this as we were over all the choo choo train tracks. Heaven to my little carsie

Saturday was our last day. My brother and his family drove down to spend the day with us. We had such a fun time playing at the beach. Caylee loved the sand and of course wanted to eat it. So...i let her and eventually she got over and stopped eating it.....phew. The boys loved playing in the ocean with their cousins.
