Disneyland






About 2 months ago,I hurried and earned our family a free day at Disneyland through the service program. We planned on going in the summer- But then Josh decided that he had had enough of the long hours and decided to plan our trip right away. He suprised me by booking the trip and telling me we would be leaving in 2 weeks....nice job babe- I needed a vacation.

We went last week and had such a blast and really enjoyed spending time with just our family. I think it was one of the first times that we really took a true family vacation with only us and the kids. It was a short trip over and back- but the kids loved every second of it-- and we did too of course!

Here are some great pictures of one fun day~

Our little pirate!

Hayden loved seeing all the characters! But the best part was trying to get the characters to sign the signature book. All we could find was a half broken green crayon. It was actually hillarious to see the "look" on the characters faces when Kayla would pull it out of her pocket. The cartoon ones with gloves couldn't even hold it! hahaha When we did have a pen- Kayla still wanted the crayon- sorry Goofy!

Both Kayla and hayden did such a great job and stayed happy and pleasant the entire day- We got there when the gates opened 8am( a must if you want to ride all 10 kids rides in the first 45min-with no wait, it was awesome!)- but we didn't leave until 10:30 that night- getting to bed at midnight ( due to the wrong bus route info and a 3 min ride turning into an hour- ugh)- but the kids pulled it off!
The longest wait was for the princesses- but it was well worth it. Kayla loved it!

What a fun time! Great Memories!
