Disneyland or Bust

We survived the Happiest place on earth. Every 2 years when our kids turn four we take them to Disneyland, It was Halle's turn to come. Shes was so excited!!! Let see, where do I begin? Our first mishap, we missed our flight from Salt Lake, because Jeff likes to wait to last second (of course I am blaming him) We got to the airport 24 min before our flight was to take off and they would not let us check our bags in. They don't let you fly stand by anymore so, we had to pay 250.00 more to fly a half hour later. We almost missed our second flight because we were not paying attention and thought our flight was at 9:55 a.m. and It was really at 9:30. when we got to the gate, they were boarding and I said maybe we should board and Jeff said why would we want to sit in the plane for 40 min, I agreed with him, we then took the kids to the bathroom, then I listen to Jeff makes friends with a complete stranger, discussing BYU football. When we hear the flight attendant say last call for ALMOND, we got up and ran to the gate to find out we were late and the they had locked the door to get on the plane. We were the last people to board, little emberassing to say the least.



Finally 2 hours later we had made it there. We went with our good friends Coopers and Johnston's. They were already there waiting for us.


Our first day there we got the dream passes we were so excited!!! It's a fast pass for 10 or 12 rides.We went trick or treating at the park it was really fun, we got way too much candy!!!


Halle and Olivia got to meet their favorite Disney Princess Ariel.
Cade got to do the Jedi training and he really got into character.
(check out his face)


Cade got lost a total of 9 times. We actually accidentally left him at Universal Studios. I thought he was with Jeff, Jeff thought he was with me and that is how you loose your kid at a amusement park. Poor Cade..by 4th day he knew not wonder and stayed right by our sides.


Our last day we went to the Beach and of course that was the kid's favorite thing and it was the one thing that was free.











We had a wonderful time and I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm looking forward to our next visit to the happiest place on earth. It's been so fun to go on vacation with our family and friends.

I can't believe how much fun we had together. The funnest vacations we've been on have been with you. Thank you so much for letting us tag along. You and Jeff are amazing people and I am so grateful that we've been able to become friends.

Jeff does our kind of flying...I mean why would a family with 4 kids sit on a hot airplane and wait when they could be eating pizza in the airport. Our family is always the last to board and everyone is scared we will come sit by them. I love your pictures.
