Newport List

On our awesome trip to Newport I was able to learn quite a few things about the Lewis Girls (families included!). Feel free to add your two cents to make the list all the better.

1. It usually takes the three kids (Kate, Max & Spence) a few days to warm up to each other. At least 24 hours.
2. Spence enjoys morning cartoons.
3. Spence also enjoys afternoon cartoons.
4. Spence's daddy also enjoys cartoons.
5. Max lights up like Temple Square at Christmas at Disneyland.
6. Morgan lights up like Temple Square at Christmas at Disneyland.
7. Mom has turned us all into Crystal Light aholics.
8. She and Lindsay like their Crystal Light really rich. And FULL to the top of the pitcher!
9. Tracie is addicted to Diet Coke. With Lime.
10. Lindsay is addicted to Diet Coke with lime.
11. Tracie does not operate well while hungry and/or hot.
12. Lindsay has an accent. It's called "Valley Girl."
13. Mom wants to buy everything for us- but tries not to. (But she still wants to and she feels bad if she doesn't.)
14. Jenn is awesome.
15. Kate is the most well-behaved of all the grandchildren. (Max totally bit himself!)
16. Spence and Max look way too much alike.
17. Max has a lot of cool toys. And he's the best of the bunch at sharing.
18. Liz is a good shopper.
19. And a good traveler.
20. Mom has and always will have the best taste in clothes. (All the t-shirts she picked out for us were awesome!)
21. Jenn does way too much laundry.
22. Codye snores so loud he scared all of the people out of the ally. (Is this a complaint or an awesome secret?)
23. Bill & Mom need to live on a beach. In a house with a moat around it. So it isn't filled with sand.
24. On our next family vaca, Mom & Bill need a bed large enough to sleep themselves and their grandchildren.
25. The little kids need to sleep together next time. (I promise I'll drug Kate if need be.)
26. Spencer has flat feet. They make the coolest sound on the tile when he runs down the hall.
27. Hitting a parked car is an art form.
28. So is parallel parking.
29. Aaron and Codye succeeded in their experiment- "Does fat float?"
30. And how cool that they got to swim with dolphins!
31. Wall-E. One more movie to buy Spence toys for.
32. Jenn wears t-shirts that are too tight. She shouldn't.
33. Lindsay & Brooke always looked so dang cute- the fact that they're both prego didn't even matter. They look awesome.
34. Todd & Jeff & Kels all went running in the mornings. How cool is that.
35. The best part of the trip was visiting every morning with mom and sisters out on the beach before anyone woke up.
36. Johnny LOVED the pack-n-play Lindsay & Morgan brought. THANK YOU GUYS!!
37. Ice cream at Haagen Dazs was so fun. Kate was so thoughtful to share it with the boys- just to show them what they were missing.
38. Swimming in the fountain at Fashion Island.
39. Tracie is adorable with baby Johnny.
40. But gets easily annoyed when the topic of conversation is about breastfeeding.
41. Lindsay likes Disneyland.
42. Secretly we all wish we didn't have kids so we could have partied with our upstairs neighbors. Sigh.
43. Captain Jack on the boardwalk. (Is it possible that he was cuter than Johnny Depp? He had awesome muscles!)
44. Don't tell Kelsey, but, I peed in the ally, too. Only, I didn't use a cup...
