OUR TRIP!

WARNING: LONG POST PICTURE OVERLOAD!

























M.I.C.K.E.Y M.O.U.S.E

We had the best time in Disneyland!! Our trip started of on Wed. March 4th we left our house at 4:00am and hot the road for the Grand Canyon neither Nate or I had ever been so we decided to take a little detour and go. It was beautiful! We were only there for about 2 hours, but we saw tons of the canyon. It was really windy so we only did the small little hikes nothing major. As we were getting ready to leave the Canyon I asked this nice guy to take a family picture for us when he was done and was giving me my camera back I dropped it AHHHH are you freaking serious I dropped our camera before our vacation even started!! Well needless to say it was a goner it was broken and we where left with NO camera!! After the Grand Canyon we went to Nates brothers house (Aaron) We stayed there for 2 night and we honestly had so much fun! They have a small farm with 4 horses 2 dogs and 3 chickens. My kids loved every second of it. They have a horse that they have had for a while now named Jack Skyler has called him his horse for as long as I can remember so he was very excited to ride his Jack while we where there. They also got to feed the Chickens and go on little train rides. (a wagon hooked up to a lawn mower!) Thank you Aaron and Lindsey for showing us such a great time!
From there we headed to the magical land of Disney! The first day we went to the beach and playing in the freezing ocean. That is where we meet up with Amy and her family.
Abbie feel head first on the wet sand so I sat out with her most of the time. Nate and Sky made a sand castle and played hard.
We then went to Disney the next day and had the time of our lives! It was so fun and amazing to see my kids eyes when they saw it for the first time! Our first ride was Peter Pan! Skyler was able to ride everything except Indiana Jones? Abbie rode everything she was able to and it was surprisingly alot! We stayed that night for the Fantasmic show which was AWESOME!
The next day even though we were all exhausted and sore form the day before we went to California Adventure and spent the day there. Sky really like it because all the Toy Storey characters where there (his favorite) He also braves the Tower of Terror Hotel ride I was very proud of him! There was a parade there that day that was great.I think that California Adv. was fun in all but Disney is way better!
We then headed south the next day to do Sea World! I think it is AMAZING how incredible those animals are! We loved all the shows and had a great time! Well except for the whole fact that I lost my cell phone during the 4D sesame street show. I know what you are thinking broke the camera lost a phone you can say it I am a nerd! :)
On our last day we ventured back to Disney and had so much fun!! We did all our favorites over again. Sky's favorites are Splash Mountain, Space Mountain Abbie's was Winnie the Pooh Nate and mine were Splash Mountain Space Mountain Tower of Terror and Soaring of Cali.
We LOVED Disneyland and can't wait to go back! We had so much fun and would do it over and over again!
Last but not least on the way home we went to Las Vegas for 2 nights. We took the kids to see all the fun stuff like the fountains at the Balogio, the sirens at T.I, the Lions at the MGM, the M&M world, ect ect.. We tried to get to our room by 9:00 and drove every where we went so our kids wouldn't be exposed to all the Nastys out there. I have to say we really didn't see any because we stayed off the strip most of the time! We hung out by the pool and just relaxed we call it our vacation form our vacation.
All in all we had a great vacation, but are happy to be home!
