"The Happiest Place on Earth"

Last week, we finally took the kids to Disneyland. Our trip started with a stop at the beach since none of them have ever seen the ocean. Here are their reactions...

LOGAN: "Look! I found a sea shell!"

CARLY: "I'm kinda cold, but it's totally worth it to look this cute in a swimsuit!"

CHASE: "I wanna go home!"

I have to admit it was a bit cold for my taste. We were only there long enough to snap these photo's then we were off the the place where "dreams come true"!

I can't tell you how many times we had to remind them that they were at the "happiest place on earth". They had a good time, but still managed to complain that they didn't get to swim at the hotel enough. On our way to California, we stayed the night in St. George with my friend Steph. Then, we drove to the beach, then checked into the hotel. The next few days were spent at Disneyland where Carly met the princesses, Logan participated in Jedi training, and Chase ate cotton candy. We also ran into my brother's family a few times - it was fun to see them!

Thanks to the swich passes, Frank and I were able to ride on a bunch of rides too. Most of our money was spent on bribes to get Logan to go on the scarier rides with us. He didn't want to, but he'll do anything for money. We also had to pay them to smile in the picture of them below at the Dodgers game. That's where we went our last night in California. After a week "vacation" in California, I am ready for a REAL vacation!!
