We left for Disneyland on January 30, 2010. We went with our friends the Kotters. It was quite the adventure with seven kids ages 1 to 10! We stayed at the Homewood Suites and it was really nice! The free breakfast was awesome, but we needed to buy stuff for lunches in the park. So my nephew Brian and his wife Deb took us to the grocery store. Gwen and I were glad to have the luggage rack to carry all our groceries in! A million thanks go to my niece Tiffany for getting us in to Disneyland for free! And we got to ride in the Lilly Belle train car, where all the celebrities ride when they come to Disneyland. Pretty cool! Thanks Tiff! I'm not sure Josh would go if we didn't get in free...
This is our fabulous Conductor Tiffany in the Lilly Belle.
The seven dwarves!
Josh tried really hard not to talk on his cell phone. He made it through the first day, but by the second day he couldn't stand it anymore and had to check in at work!
Ally liked getting autographs from the characters. She and Katelyn were inseperable during our trip. It was fun for her to have a "sister" for a while. She liked California Screaming and Splash Mountain.
Logan had a lot of fun on all the roller coasters. He wasn't afraid to try anything and he loved them all. He especially liked California Screaming.
Jensen was very excited to get his own Mickey Mouse ears. His favorite rides were Mullholland Madness, Jumping Jellyfish, and Heimlich's Chew Chew Train. He did not like Splah Mountain!
Holden spent a lot of time in his stroller. His favorite part was when we let him get out and run around. He had fun chasing all the little birds around. He was determined to catch one!
We had so much fun! It was so sad to leave and come back to the cold and gray weather in Utah. It was so nice to spend time with our family and friends. My favorite funny moment was when we were in the SLC airport after flying home. Our friends were behind us, so it looked like Josh and I had six kids. Some older gentleman looked at all of us, walked up to Josh, patted him on the back and said "God bless you." So funny to watch Josh turn red so fast! It didn't take him long to explain they weren't all his-so funny!
My least favorite moment was when Holden got the stomach flu. He was sick all night before we flew home. But he did sleep almost all the way home on the plane so that probably made it easier for us all. Overall, it was so much fun and I can't wait for our next trip to Disneyland!
