Disneyland on a Moments Notice

Goofing around at the hotel!


The kids after going fishing on the disney boardwalk. They all caught a family of turtles and dolphins-- I think between them all they came home with 10 or so new stuffed animals! Don't you just love stuffed animals?


A new photo op near the Toy Story ride-- very fun indeed!



In line at Toy Story-- my favorite!


Kodes with his "lollipop" (chase corrects us if we call it a sucker)-- all in the tea cup!
So the other day Debbie calls us up and asks if we are up for a trip to Disneyland leaving in a few days! We had talked about it for a month but never thought it was happening until that call-- luckily for us Randy got he time off and we were outta here. You know how we love Disneyland and having a chance to go with Randy's family was something we didn't want to miss! We had a blast. The weather was sooooooo great and from what we hear we missed out on more of the same crummy weather here. Anyway, we all had so much fun-- Chase especially. He LOVES his Lewis cousins and I love watching them together. It is a very special friendship that we cherish deeply. Thanks again for the spur of the moment vacation-- we had a great time.
Quick highlights:
  • The "technical difficulties' that shut down all of Tomorrowland--come to find out that it was a suspicious backpack someone left. Loved being on pirate island with the scare of a bomb threat.
  • First trip where we went strollerless for all but the last day.
  • Getting to skip to the front of the line at Toy Story due to Deb and Quince's technical difficulties.
  • Getting to skip to the front of Autopia due to the technical difficulties at Mullholland Madness for Randy and the three boys.
  • Forgetting to go on Small World-- how did we not do that ride?
  • Riding Winnie the Pooh approximately 20 times.
  • Breakfast AND lunch at the hotel everyday-- a first for our family but certainly not the last-- loved this money saver!
  • Debbie getting busted for scalping.
  • Favorite rides-- Winnie, Splash, Pirates, Mullholland, Grizzly, and Toy Story.

Looks like fun ---and Jami has the cutest prego belly! You are so Disney savvy. We are headed there in July and I have no idea all those rides you are talking about...But we usually just spend one day. Maybe that's why. Glad to hear it was a good trip :)
