The Pirate Island, they had just hosted the World Premier of Pirates of the Carribean there and we got to go on the boat that Johnny Depp was on. eeeewwwwhhh. hahaha
First Minute of Disneyland. All smiles and confusion.
I don't think we look as cute as the boys do.
Don't touch his cotton candy!!!
This is why we went.We had the great fortune of being able to go on our first Mark and Ashley Family Vacation!!! Yes, it was great to have my family there too but we all were able to do our own thing and have sooo much fun. The drive was HORRIBLE! But the time in California was great. I have to say that the magic fairy that just comes and cleans up every day after we left the hotel was one of my favorite things about the whole trip! We left on a Friday, Jake threw up in the car 2 times and we had to stop and stay the night in a hotel and go wash a bunch of stuff at my sister's apartment in Provo. So we didn't get very far the first day... thus we drove all the way from Provo to LA in ONE DAY! ahhhh! I hated the drive!!! Sunday we ended up going to a Spanish Ward on accident, Monday we went to Disneyland and Danile cried on all the inside kid rides. Tuesday was spent at the LA zoo where we had a great time seeing giraffes and gorillas and elephants. Wednesday was back at Disneyland where we got to go on some bigger rides and we got there before the park opened so we did the whole wait on Main Street thing, so FUN! We didn't have as much fun at the Huntington Beach on Thursday as I would have liked. Jake started crying nonstop after a few hours because he felt dirty. ugh. So we went back to the hotel and just enjoyed a lazy day. Then Friday was my favorite because we did everything we didn't squeeze into the other days and we did the "World of Color" lazer show that was one of my favorite things I have EVER done! So cool. Then we drove all the way to SLC the next day and Mark got sick with a cold and swimmer's ear so he was TOTALLY miserable. Sunday we went to church with Mark's fam and had a great dinner together then hit the road. I drove the rest of the way and boy were we glad to be out of the car! I think our ward thinks we are inactive. We have been gone for 5 Sundays (2 in UT for Drew's homecoming, Roz's blessing, California 2) and we had Stake Conf. on Sunday so it has been 6 weeks since we hava attended our regular ward. hmmm.
