We Love Disneyland!!!

Well, we had a great trip to California last week. We are so grateful to Glenn and Kirsten for letting us stay with them. It was wonderful to get away. We spent two days at one of our favorite places--Disneyland. Then we spent some time on Friday doing one of my favorite things--looking at houses. Saturday we got to go to the beach and the kids and Brent gathered tons of sea shells. It was so much fun. We headed home Sunday with a stop in Mesquite for the night, then finished the long journey home on Monday. (Our DVD player broke before we left for home, so the long drive seemed even longer for three bored, energetic kids and their poor parents.) Here are some pictures from the trip.

Our favorite stroller. We bought this in France when Ashley was 14 months old. It has been the most awesome stroller. Just before this picture was taken we were just saying what a great stroller it is that it can carry all three children and our heavy bags full of water bottles, diapers, etc. Right after we snapped the picture, we broke the stroller. I guess it had had enough of our abuse. Luckily, we had another stroller in the car.
We love Disneyland! It really is so magical!
Two pooped kids. On Wednesday we got to the park when it opened and stayed until close. It was a long, but great day and there were practically no lines. Brent, who is the FastPass master, didn't quite know what to do. He got all the FastPasses, but we never needed them because there were never long enough lines. April is definitely a good month to go.

This is one of my favorite little alleys. I think it is so beautiful. It is tucked away and always reminds me of the quaint little tucked away streets I saw on my mission in Switzerland.

I am soo mad that I was sick that weekend! I had a 101 fever and didn't want to pass along the week-long straggling cold. I'm glad you had fun!
