Crazy Ducks and Matterhorn Rides

We are finally home after our long, but super fun California trip. We were there for about 10 days without Todd. I figured we would leave him alone with his finals so he could study and not worry about having to come home. We went to Disneyland, the Santa Ana Zoo, out to lunch, dinner with my BF, had card night, saw the entire family, made 3 Target trips, like always visited H&M, and got to sleep in while my mom woke up with the kids.

Disneyland was so much fun. It was even better than last time we went because Berkeley was just that much more into it. I took her on the Matterhorn for the first time! I cant believe that she is that old. I didn't know while we were on the ride how she was liking it until about half way through the ride I heard her cracking up....so she loved it. We went with my sister Danielle and her family of 5 kids, so Berkeley loved to go on the rides with her cousins. Once again, it was SO hot that day! It made the day that much more exhausting. Beckham added a little challenge to my day. He wouldn't really sleep at all, so he was fussy quite a bit, making my arms so tired. It definitely made me with Todd was with me. We loved it though. It was a special day for Berkeley and I.

First time on the Matterhorn!









Being the sweetest big sister
We also went to the Santa Ana Zoo. It is a really small zoo, but I had never been there, so it was fun to just see. We did have quite an adventure while we were there. While the kids were looking at the ducks, I wanted to get a better picture from a different angle, so I stepped into the duck habitat. Bad decision....the biggest duck looked at me curiously and started walking to me. I was all excited because he was coming close to me! Then he took a mad dash at me and started attacking my leg and biting it. It FREAKED me out! My sister started yelling for me to hand her my camera and I just told her to try and get a picture. Unfortunately she didn't get one. It was so scary. I had butterflies in my stomach for like a half hour later!
