We have been wanting to go back to Disneyland since our last trip in 2008 so we finally bit the bullet and went again the first week in June. This time we drove and also used it as an excuse to hang in Vegas for a few days with the Francis Fam. It was a great vacation!
Hours and Hours in the car. Overall the kids did really well.
The first night in Cali we went to Midieval Times. It was so much fun as usual. Our Knight's horse got a little out of control and broke the protective glass in front of us which was pretty crazy.
First Day at Disneyland
I started to get nervous that Macy was going to ruin the trip because she was super grouchy at first. We took her on "It's a Small World" and she learned that the lines and crowds were worth the wait for the rides. (suckers also helped)
One of our favorites, the Jungle Boat Ride.
Train ride
Another ride
Getting ready for the firework show. (end of the day...can you tell?)
If you look really close you can see Tinkerbell flying through the sky. The fireworks were awesome!
The only character we took the time to take a picture with. The kids really didn't care too much about the characters which really surprised me.
On the new Little Mermaid ride. Macy was in such awe she had her hand over her mouth the whole time. It was pretty cute.
Macy played and played with her princess dolls. They came in handy while we were waiting for the kids to get off big rides and long line waits.
Waiting to watch the parade. She loved the parade.
Heading to Vegas. The temp got up to 105 but by the time I got my camera it was down to 99. This was taken while driving through Death Valley, how appropriate!
Downtown Vegas. It was crazy busy but we had to show the kids all the lights at night.
The Francis' took us to the Coke factory where we did Coke around the world. You taste different flavors of Coke that are actually drunk in different areas of the world. Some of those flavors are nasty! Macy was in a great mood and had a lot of fun tasting the drinks and making funny faces afterward.
Of course we had to go to the M&M factory.
Getting all the cousins to hold still for a picture is nearly impossible. They are such good buddies that I was happy to have them together for a few days. I don't think we saw Zack or Haylee the whole time, they buddied together and did their own thing.
Aunt Kliss taught Macy how to get some sun. She loved sitting there with her magazine. Kliss and I also got to get away and go to the Cirque du Soleel show Ka while Scott and Matt went to the Cake concert. It
was way too much fun to get away and see such an amazing show!
The trip was way too much fun. It went too fast and we can't wait for the Francis family to be in Rexburg next week.
