California!

Jonathan had to be away for 2 weeks for a work training in California a few weeks ago and Aiden and I were lucky enough to get to go visit for the weekend and go to Sea World and Disneyland! It was a jam packed weekend but we had such a fun time! Not to mention how nice it was to get away from this yucky air and snow!

Aiden was SO excited to see Mickey! I thought he might be scared of him but he ran right to him and gave him a big hug! He was a lot happier about it then he looks in this picture.
Aiden even got a "first time" button to wear and we were given a "we're celebrating" button because it was Aidens first time. He thought they were pretty cool! (sorry I'm not sure how to rotate the picture)

We also went to the beach to watch the sunset and Aiden loved it! I wasn't sure if he would like it because sometimes he's weird about getting dirty but he wanted to take his shoes off and walk in the sand. The water was freezing but he loved running away from the waves, chasing the birds and letting the water touch his toes. He could have stayed for hours!
It was a short but sweet getaway and we experienced many "firsts" for Aiden which is always fun. Of course we were happy to see Jonathan to break up the long 2 weeks period he was away!
