DISNEYLAND

Our trip started out on an exciting note. For those of you who watch all the dance shows on t.v., if you look really close (under the t.v. on the left) you will see Zach from the t.v. show Dance Wars Bruno vs. Carrie Ann. Zach was on Bruno's team who won the show. He was my favorite dance mostly because I knew he was from Saratoga Springs where Kliss lives. We did talk to him also. He was really nice. That was just exciting for me... The real excitement began when we finally arrived at Disneyland. Luckily I have no horror stories to tell about our travels the trip was pretty laid back (I can say that now that a week has gone by) for the most part the kids were pretty good. I was really glad we brought Brigham too. Everyone said he would ruin the trip but he was actually pretty entertaining. See, here are the girls happy as can be getting a long. This was Ashtyn's Birthday so she was really having a good time. I only include this photo because we stood in line for 2 hours to get it. Mickey's house looks a lot smaller than it actually is. We thought the line wasn't very long but then we wound around all over the place in his house and stood there and stood there and stood there. We had invested too much time at this point so we stuck it out. We rode one more ride after this and then had to call it a day. We were all sick of waiting in lines. I am also very happy to have this photo. We were standing in line and they kept counting down the time until Goofy would have to leave. 3 minutes....we are 7 people behind...2 minutes about 5 people behind (darn those stinkin' autograph books) 1 minute...we made the last phote just barely. Thank heavens, the kids would have been really disappointed.

Disneyland

We wore the kids out every day. I have a picture of Brigham at the end of each day. He would just plop himself somewhere and lay down. Do you miss the days when you could pull that off? I felt like doing that several times throughout each day The girls will say their favorite ride was Splash Mountain. Brigham would tell you Space Blasters because it involved Buzz Lightyear and a gun. I couldn't get him to look at me, he was too busy shooting the targets. Lets just say when the ride was over he was not a happy camper. We also went to a dinner show called Mideaval Times. It was a lot of fun and very entertaining. The kids really enjoyed it too. They feed you while you are sitting around an arena (no utensils are used to eat) and you watch Knights joust and do tricks on their horses. I would love to go back and do it again. We also tried a Pirate dinner show. This one was not as good, but the kids got to participate in the show as Soldiers. They thought this was awesome and think they are stars now. We couldn't be in California and not hit Seaworld! Here is Shamu showin' his stuff. That was a lot of fun. The kids liked the Sea Lion and Otter shows the best. They were very funny. Nothing is better that to listen to your kids sit there and giggle. That made the trip for me.

Packing for Disneyland

I was packing for our Disneyland trip and walked away from the suitcase for literally two seconds. When I came back I found that Brigham was being a helper and had packed ALL of his clothes for me. He is not about packing lightly.... Here he is so proud of helping out. I hope he is a big helper in Disneyland too. I do not want a big hinderer. Good luck to us! We will be back March 21st and I will post all of our fun pictures.
