Our family just got back from such a fun vacation. We spent six days in Disneyland and California Adventure. It was a complete blast. Here is a sneak peek at some fun things we saw.

Can someone explain to me why, when you step through the gates of Disneyland you want your picture taken sooo badly with these characters? We lucked out big time with the coveted Mickey!

This is far and away my favorite ride. I probably shouldn't have gone on it, but it was so worth it! When I asked my Doctor about whether or not I should ride rides this far pregnant, she honestly looked at me with utter disbelief. I guess I won't tell her about Indiana Jones and the Tower of Terror.

Ben's poses for the camera became better and better towards the end of our trip.

We decided to leave Preslie home with Grandma and Auntie Amy. It was a hard thing to do for all of us, but in the end I was grateful. She really would have hung out the whole time in a stroller.
California Adventure was such a blast. The last time I was in Disneyland I was eighteen years old and there was a massive parking lot where California Adventure now stands! My kids loved it.

Park and Ben were so well behaved and we just had a ball with them. The conversations were priceless. (Note Ben's pose.)

This was actually the first picture taken on my camera. And what could possible shout more American than a labor dispute?

All and all an amazing week spent with our family. Great memories for ever! When we got home from the airport and drove into the garage we could hear this loud humming noise......... We walked through the doors to about fifteen blowers and heaters. Our house had flooded for three days undetected. When we left for vacation we left a list of things for our land-lord to do to the house. To make a long story short, he made the problem worse and our house (I should say rental house) completely flooded. This past week, our house has been a total construction zone and one week later, we can finally use our kitchen again. It was humbling to say the least, and made us all want to go back to California. I keep telling my kids Heavenly Father is just driving home the meaning of the word OPPOSITE:)
