First Flight

On June 8, the Lents family boarded an airplane for Addison's first flight! We flew out of DSM, along with Grandma Rita & Grandpa Ron on our way to Anaheim, CA. Kelly was turning 40 and decided we needed a family vacation! Addison was AMAZING on the plane, She slept 2.5 of the 3 hour flight to Vegas. Then ran around the airport and laughed and "said hi" to each and every person. Then for the 2nd flight, she took another short snooze. Ryan wanted to take away the pacifier about a month before our trip but I convinced him we needed to keep it. It was a blessing, that pacifier helped a ton throughout the whole vacation!

The first day, we went to Knotts Berry Farm, an amusement park. None of us are in the picture above, but this was a great roller coaster. We had never been on a roller coaster that you sat on rather than in. It was pretty fun! Addison watched from the sideline with Grandma and Grandpa. 

Conner and Ryan on the roller coaster. Yes Conner's hair looked like that prior to the ride :) 

Addison and I took a couple rides on the carousel - we don't have great pictures but she loved it. Grandma, Grandpa, and Dad stood on the side and waved every time we went around. Addison loved it!

 Addison had a lot of first this vacation, she also had her first trip to the beach and ocean. It was a chilly day. CA definitely disappointed on the weather front. The Julius family didn't pack warm enough clothes! I threw this sweatshirt in for Addison last minute, glad I did! The water was FREEZING. But Addison still let me put her toes in it :)

Addison wrote her name all by herself :) ha!
