California Trip Day 3: Santa Monica Pier


What a fun trip this was! The day we went to the Santa Monica Pier was absolutely gorgeous! When we got there, we decided to just get day passes for all the rides. Since mom and I were just going to be watching kiddos most of the time we just bought tickets to a couple of our favorite rides. 




Addy loved the bumper cars, but couldn't figure out that it goes forward as well. 
She kept it in reverse the whole time.


Hailey, on the other hand loved the rides a little too much. 
Have you seen the roller coaster at the pier?
Well, all together, Hailey rode that thing 7 times!
Yep, you heard me.


Addy felt like such a big girl that she could ride
 the rides all by herself.




Hailey attempted the ladder, and she actually did really well.


We ate dinner at a place on the pier called
Bubba Gumps Shrimp House
(or something like that.)


Aiden and Nolan


Kristen and Regan



Addy couldn't get enough of Grandpa's Bread Pudding


Hailey and Addy just couldn't stop giggling on this ride. I think Regan was a little irritated by the girl sitting next to her.. she kept telling Regan what to do.




Such a fun day! We couldn't have asked for better weather, or better company. 

Beach pictures to come next!!

I love all the pictures. My favorite is of the frog ride (with your girls next to Reagan)-it's so cute that Addy and Hailey are totally laughing together. What a fun day! I was born and lived just off of Santa Monica and have never been to all that. That makes me want to go back.
