The long trip to Disney......

Last summer Disney had a "give a day get a day" promotion. We tied 15 fleece blankets and earned one free day each at Disney. It was the perfect opportunity to finally plan a vacation there. We have been anticipating this trip all year and finally it came. It was so much fun and so worth it.
The car ride was long but my sweet friend Vicki made us a big bag with little presents in it. She made a map and at different destinations along the way we got to open up a present. It was brilliant and so fun. The anticipation for the next city made the time go by much faster. We got lots of yummy treats along with toys, music, and books to pass the time. She is a genius!

Some of us were:

Sleepy.....

Silly......

Mischievous.....

Bored.....

and Goofy.......

Disneyland

Oh how we loved Disneyland! We wish we could have spent more time there and can't wait until the next time we go. It was so much fun! We couldn't have done this trip without my mom though. She stayed in the hotel with Belle so that we all could thoroughly enjoy ourselves and of course go on ALL the rides. Belle loved spending time with Grandma and we loved playing.

Loved all the Halloween Decor.

Our friends the Schwendtke's hid a penny back in July for us and YES it was still there. The boys were able to find it only from looking at a picture clue. It was shoved into one of the cracks in the brick. So fun!

I had to post this picture because Tate's face is perfect. There is a reason only the boys went on this ride. Uggh! :)

Califiornia Adventure

We were ALL scared on that dumb Ferris wheel, not fun!

The boys had to fit in one more Grizzly River run before the night was over. Then of course they froze but said it was so worth it.

Our other favorites were Tower of Terror, California Screamin', and of course Soaring over California.

The Last Day......

On the last day we hung out with Grandma Nancy until she caught her flight and then spent that night at Downtown Disney. The trip definitely wasn't long enough but we had a blast. (We are already planning our next trip to Disney) We couldn't have done it without my mom. I am so lucky and grateful that she could come spend some time with us and especially Belle. We love you so much Grandma Nancy and thank you a million times over.....

Uncle Terry

Uncle Terry (also known as the tickle monster) came to visit. We were so so excited! It was so nice to hang with him. He spoiled the kids rotten of course. He brought them gifts, played lots of games with us, and even took all the boys up the Space Needle for their first time. While he was here we took him to Pikes place, Ivar's (of course), EMP, and the Space Needle. Thanks for coming to visit us Uncle Terry. We had a blast and miss you already! :)
