I can't believe it ... we have been talking and planning this trip for about a year. Saving, scheduling, waiting and now we are here. We left for Disneyland Friday afternoon - late afternoon and got to Jill's house in St George that night. After a quick visit we were on our way.
This was the first problem, because our kids didn't want to leave their cousins - they absolutely love them. Amber is the oldest and takes care of their every need - she plays games with them and reads them books. Ashlyn is Emma's BFF and she adores her. Cute little Ky Ky (who turned 4 the day before we got there!) loves to play dress up, which happens to be Emma's fav thing to do as well - plus her and Car became little buddies - it was so cute! Then there is Kate, who is just a month older then Harry, but is running all over the place - he and her were very aware of each other - no major play dates, but they kept an eye on each other incase the other had a toy that looked fun.
But we had to go, so on top of leaving their buddies, we have found that OUR KIDS DO NOT LIKE THE CAR. I am pretty sure even if it takes us longer to save for our next family vaca.... we will be flying.
But after a way longer trip then google told us, we are in our 1st hotel and the kids are still asleep. I am so excited I have been up since 6... oh yeah and also that is when Carson climbed into our bed and started trying to cuddle so close he ended up boring himself underneath me. So at this moment I am sitting in the bathroom (not using the bathroom - let me be clear on that) waiting to hear them wake up.
Last minute we decided to get here a day early, so we stayed in this hotel tonight and will check into our planned hotel this afternoon. So hence our "1st hotel".
My sister is here already with her family, then later today my brother and his wife and my parents will arrive. How fun! We are missing one sister and 2 brothers that couldn't come - but at least we have our little group.
My Dad's 70th birthday is tomorrow and what a better way to celebrate then in the "Happiest Place on Earth", right?
Well just an update - I will try to keep you up on our daily comings and goings - but our laptop doesn't have a memory card place so I will have to show off the pics later.
Hope you all have a great week - if anyone has any Disneyland tips, feel free to comment them here.
AAAAHHHHHHH - wake up kids - I can't wait!!! Forget it, I'm going to wake them up!
Love ya all!

How fun!! We are taking our kids to Disneyland next Thanksgiving. Hope you guys have a blast!!
Use fastpass - but they also have a "family pass" for Harry, so, you can go on one ride twice - with the fastpass and family pass. If your dad and mom aren't riding, use their tickets to get fast passes on a different ride - to maximize you time, because you can't have 2 fast pass tickets at the same time.
(if that makes any sense)
Have fun!
When I asked Emma, Jackson and Broder what they thought Emma and Car-Car were doing today right at this very minute they said "Tower of Terror" so....get on that.")
Ride Pirates and Peter Pan at least once for us!

...and the Mickey Fun Wheel.
I can't wait to see pictures! I hope Car loved Buzz and you got to see lots of princesses!
