Summer is over

It's been about 2 weeks since my daughter went back to school but the weather here has been HOT HOT!  It's ok.  I love it!  I love the sunshine.  The happy people.  The places, things we go to and see.  This year has definitely been another busy summer.  I work every other weekend so I don't have too many weekends to get away but that didn't stop us from doing things.  With the many life changing challenges my family dealt with this year we learned to cherish and make every moment count together.  So the little things that doesn't really matter I try not to let it get to me.  This summer we went to SoCal.  We went to Magic Mountain which was my daughter's first time there.  Then we hit Universal Studios, Disneyland, Disney California and Santa Monica for some beach time.  Along with some family parties,  Birthday celebrations, family visiting from out of town,  beach time and just plain hanging out around town.  I think this year we watched a lot of movies...it was definitely, a Super Hero kinda summer.  I brought my DSLR and have my trusty iPHONE which I LOVE!  Here's a glimpse of our summer. Warning...photo heavy.


On the ROAD.

Here's an INSTAX  picture of my daughter and niece.  More on this printer in another post. These two are best Cousins!  When they're together they're in their own world and just laugh the whole time!  I kid you not.

Magic Mountain.  Now this park is for big kids.  They have BIG Roller coasters!  I mean your tummy will turn upside down!  Wet rides..well you might as well wear a swim suit.  You get that drenched! Haha!

Magic Mountain has a Super Hero theme.  Pretty cool!

OMG!  This ride was Craaazy!  You are faced down with your legs locked in place the whole time!

Here's me and my girl.  She's all grown up.  We get to go to a lot of places now that she's older like ride these big roller coasters!  

This Green Lantern ride looks crazy!  I passed this up.  It was the end of the day and I was roller coaster out!

This was the very last ride before closing and it was their favorite one of all!

Be prepared for HOT weather and LONG LINES!!  About an hour to an hour and a half wait!  

After an exhausting day and fun we headed to Anaheim to our hotel which was probably 45 min away.  Not too far.  If you know SoCal it was better to drive at night.  No traffic!

Next day...to the happiest place on earth!
