We Went To Disneyland!!!

Waiting to get into Disneyland, We did arrive an hour early since the kids got up at 5:30am ready to go for the day.
We really loved California Adventure, Raegan, Kalli and I loved the "Screamin" roller coaster in the back ground.
They were like a bunch of monkeys at the front gate, eager and ready for their day in the park.
Chad not feeling so great on the teacups!!!

(notice it's him on this ride and not me)

The kids all got Disney hats for their suveniers.

Max hung out in the stroller most of the time

but didn't seem to mind to much. Tyler and Kalli seemed to be best buddies on this trip...I love that!!!

We just got back from a great little getaway for our family. We went to Disneyland!!!! This was our kids very first time going. Chad got asked to speak at a fireside about 10 minutes from Disneyland so we decided instead of him flying out to California all by himself we would drive out and get to go to Disneyland. It was kind of a last minute trip but well worth it. We had a blast. I love family vacations because it makes me remember why I have so many kids and why they are so close in age. They really do LIKE each other. They get along and they really have a great time together. It makes me love them that much more. We did a two day park hopper pass and went on Monday and Tuesday and then drove back Wednesday, so just a quick trip but well worth it. (unfortunately we didn't get the chance to hit the Riki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki room, sorry Kayola) The coolest things kept happening to us. On our first day there we were given by the Disney employees these special passes called "dream pass" and they let us get on every ride without waiting in line, I guess they only give out about 50 "dream passes" a day and we were lucky enough to get them. Cool things like that kept happening to us. My daughter Raegan turned to me and said "mom, disneyland really is a magical place isn't it." We really had a great time!!!!

For us, this week Disneyland really was the happiest place on earth!!!
