Finally...the Disneyland Post

This is what you've all been waiting for (or not)...our trip to Disneyland. Bill finally showed me how to download the pictures of our trip from our new camera, and boy are you going to see a lot of them! How do you choose from so many pics???

I love this pic. We hadn't even been at the hotel an hour (we drove down btw) and everyone was in the pool! Jake and Abby didn't waste any time going on the water slide, and Sophie was right in her element in the baby pool.

The next day we began with breakfast with Minnie Mouse and friends. Sophie was a little overwhelmed by all the characters at first but it didn't take her long to warm up to them!

Sophie is definately not sure about this guy.

"Pooh never looked this big on TV!"


"Who's this guy?"

Of course, the Fairy Godmother!

Hmmm.....


Finally, it's Minnie!



Who doesn't love Minnie?

We LOVE her!!!
It was the best breakfast EVER!!

We met up after that with my sister and brother-in-law. Not only did we see them, but also Dee-dee and Travis, Suzi and Jim with girls, Julie, Bob and Marilyn, Laurie, Alex and Brittany, and a family in our ward that we didn't know would be there! It was so much fun!

My sister, Christine and brother-in-law, Mike.

Travis!

Julie!
Gotta love the teacups!

This is Sophie on her very favorite ride....Small World of course!
Everyone's Goofy!

What do you do when your child is scared to death of the roller coaster in Tunetown and she's not even tall enough to be on it?? Take her on it again!
One of Jake and Abby's all time favs--Screamin'!

Another fav--Splash Mountain!
Dumbo--a must ride!
A Disneyland must have shot!

Midnight at the end of 5 days in the park!


These pics say it all!
Bill ran us all into the ground and we had a wonderful time! I would only change one thing--I lost my cell phone on Big Thunder Mountain. Other than that we had a blast. When we got home it took me days to recover--I'm not kidding, but well worth it to see the pure joy on the kids' faces.

This makes me want to go to the happiest place on earth.... I guess I'll just have to settle for the Johnson's house. It's pretty cool there.... I love Jake and Abby's faces in the picture at the end.... they are so pooped. And Sophie's face when she saw Minnie! Priceless! I'm glad you had so much fun!

Holy Crap, Sophie goes to Preschool? I swear she is still a baby - she isn't old enough for that!!!! Disneyland looks so fun, we need to go but Lawyer broke an $8000 table in Cayman - did I tell you that story? So it might have to be next year, I'll ask you for all of the pointers. Fun!! I'm glad I have your address now!!

Looks like you guys had quite the time. I love the pic of Jake and Abby at midnight on day five! Disneyland makes the best of us tired! I'm way jealous of your trip, I happen to love D-land!

Also Jill was telling me that you have a girl that cuts your hair that you love. If you have her name and number I'd love to get it from you. Thanks! :)
