Disney recap.. Finally!



So I am finally getting around to posting about our wonderful trip to Disneyland! We all had a fantastic time. The girls were all amazing. Not one problem that was so bad I remember it. :-) It was awesome! The first night/day, was exhausting. The hotel we stayed at the night before our flight was nice, but the beds were horrible! I can honestly say I did not get one hour of sleep that night. We were up & going at 3:00 a.m for our 6:30 flight. We thought we needed to be there extra early seeing as it was the 1st day of spring break. And we were sort of right. We, for the most part, breezed right through security. Which, with 3 small kiddo's, was a pain in booty! We got to LA around 11:50, and drove to Anaheim, where we went straight to Downtown Disney since we couldn't get into the house until 3:00, which actually turned out to be 4:00, but that's a long story. Once we got into the house, we took a small break, unpacked a little, then headed to our 1st night at Disneyland! We stayed at Disneyland until 11:00 that night. Boy were we exhausted when we were through! When we went to bed that night we crashed!

On Sunday, which happend to be Easter Sunday, we went to California Adventures for the day. Getting there at 10:00 staying until they closed at 10;00. It was alot of fun!

Monday, was Trav & my's 7th wedding anniversary. And we were at Universal Studios. We met up with Heather, Austin's girlfiend that day. We went to this place called IFLY, which is indoor skydiving. It was AWESOME! The afternoon at Universal, felt like a waste of money. It felt like we spent more time in traffic getting there, then in the actual park.

Tuesday, Miss Maddy's 6th Birthday, was spent at Disneyland, and then at California Adventures where we had dinner with the princesses.. What a WASTE of money! All 10 of us went, and the total bill was over $450.00! I couldn't believe it. Oh well, the girls enjoyed it, and that is the important part.

Wed, was at Sea World! That was a ton of fun. Alex LOVES the dolphins! I think I may have a marine biologist on my hands. She pet some of them, and just couldn't get enough. Grandma and Grandpa bought her a stuffed dolphin, that she named Diego, and she would make him do the tricks that she saw the real dolphins doing. Unfourtunatly she lost Diego somewhere between the rental house and home.. Not sure where. My dad saved the day and ordered her another one from Sea World.com. So she will have him in a couple of days. :-) Thanks DAD!

Thursday & Friday we were back at Disneyland. We totally took advantage of our last two days there, fitting in as much as possible. I had such a great time with my family! Yay! I just wish I hadn't been SO croweded. Hopefully when we go back we will pick a better time to visit. Like the 1st week of December in 2013.. When Peyton turns 6.. Hmmm.. Better start saving!

Hey sis!!

Disneyland was a blast!!!! We had such a great time with everyone and watching the little girls enjoy it was the best!

I think we should split the difference and take another family trip between Peytong and Olivia's big 6 b-days :). Maybe February of 2014, technically March would split the difference but I think we can all agree that Disney in March is OUT!! Yikes can you believe that? Wonder what Disneyland will be like then?

Anyway... it was a great trip and we have a CD of pics for you.

Love ya,
Charity

Sounds like you had a great time. The pictures are great too. I can't wait to go with the kids sometime. We decided to wait until they are old enough to enjoy it though - like in about 6 years or so.
