Californication...

How many pictures per blog post is considered poor form?
Because I'm about to blow that one clean outta the water and enter the "terrible form" category.
And I don't even care.
The smiles on these little dudes during our week in California - they were epic.  I've started calling this trip, "Californication" because it just seems like pure greed how happy and full of all the good stuff it was.  
For example:
Boone on carousels.  He was SO happy to be sitting in the saddle like a big boy.
Boone at the beach.  Timid turned dare devil and complete sand lover.
Ace with his Disney chocolates and treats.
Ace with the characters.
Ace on any ride with a drop -- (Terror)  Followed quickly by, "That was the best ever!"
Kael finding shells and sand crabs at the beach as if his life depended upon it.
Kael pulling at the photo op "Sword and the stone" with all his might.
Kael with his "I am GROOT" tattoo - proud as Pop Eye.
Dax at any and every shooting game.  Total concentration and proud as punch at his high scores.
Dax - or at least part of him.  Asking to be buried in the sand five million times at the beach.
Ryan and I would point and laugh and share "the look" dozens of times each day.  Then when they would fall asleep (in record time) we would stay up for a few minutes longer recounting our favorite parts or the funny things they all did or said.  It was so good.
And now just to put an exclamation point on the whole thing... 
I bring you - MORE PICTURES!
I'm telling you: Gluttony
Oh what a trip.  We will forever remember our time together in Summer 2017.
OK Boone might not - so we'll have to repeat in a few more years.  :)
