I said I had pictures, and I wasn't kidding! I think I'll separate the pictures and post in three installments, according to what it's about!
So, installment 1, Disneyland:
We arrived Tuesday morning at 7:30 am, rented a car, and drove straight to the hotel and walked to the Magic Kingdom. That morning was a killer! We left our house at 4:15, that's AM folks, to catch our flight to CA. The kids loved the flight, it was Nicole and Jared's first airplane ride, but I was so tired I forgot to take any pictures on the plane...oops!
Disneyland was fun, but very crowded dang it! The park workers told us they were having record crowds for this time of year, and even extended the hours a couple nights. Perfect. We were there with half the state of Utah (I'm serious), and the rest of the people there were from AZ!
Riley liked all the big rides, Tower of Terror, California Screamin', etc.
Nicole was again the bravest 5 year old I know and went on EVERYTHING she could! She did Tower of Terror twice, and California Screamin', and all the roller coasters at Disneyland.
Jared was tall enough this year to start going on some of the bigger rides and roller coasters. He didn't like Space Mountain or the Matterhorn, but loved Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, Grizzly Rapids, and Star Tours. Both he and Nicole loved the "play area" in California Adventure, but the name escapes me....Something redwood?!?
Ellie loved Pirates of the Carribean, Small World, and was barely tall enough to go on the little roller coaster in Toon Town....so being the abusive parents we are, we took all 21+ months of her on it! I couldn't help but laugh at her face as we went down the first hill! Absolute terror! But by the end of the ride, she was laughing and having a grand time, so I guess she forgave us.
Ron and I did most of them. I hate Tower of Terror, so Ron did that, and Ron didn't want to get wet, so I went on Grizzly Rapids and got soaked....I even got wet the next day on Splash Mountain. I went on California Screamin' and thought I was going to die....I didn't feel the need to repeat that one! We were both sad that Indiana Jones was broken the whole time we were there...it's been 7 years since I've done that ride since the last 2 times I've been at Disneyland I've been pregnant. The Haunted Mansion was all done up for Halloween in a "Nightmare Before Christmas" theme, and it was fun.
All in all, a great trip! Although there are no pictures of Ron....he was there! He was behind the camera in all these.

Andrea - What a surprise! It was so great to hear from you. That's what I love about blogging the very most - hearing from people you would never have in years! On my blog you will see links to Shea Davis, Sommer Davis, Bret & Brittany (my brother and sister), the Elder family (from the old ward), and many others. This is so fun!
Thanks for commenting and keep in touch!

Andrea, that was soooo fun to check my blog and have a long a nice comment from you. I love to get comments and getting one from you was great. You have always been one of our favorites. We miss the ward but are growing over in the new ward. That is what life is about. GROWING! No matter if we like it or not. It has been a good change for us. I didn't think we need change but I guess we did. I love bloging and will check you often. Thanks for leaving your comment it made my day!
It looks like the family had a blast. I am jealous...but in a good way. :)
