Disneyland was kind of a quick trip this year. Cassie's dance recital was Friday night and Carlee and Cami danced in Disneyland on Saturday morning. We really debated about going because we didn't know if it would work but we finally figured it out. We left at 4am and since traffic was nothing at that time of day we made it to Disneyland in 5 hours! The girls were able to dance and we left at 11:30pm not staying until it closed because it was crowded and we thought Monday would be so much better (not to mention--we were all tired!) Sunday--we got up and went to a Sacrament meeting in Anaheim. Later in the day we were able to go to the Los Angeles Temple. They had beautiful lights but something was wrong with my camera and it wouldn't focus right so sorry--no pictures. Then Monday we were all excited for an uncrowded Disneyland--walking right on rides and riding our favorites as many times as we wanted to. Well....as we were walking up we noticed a ton of people. We all looked at each other and wondered what they were doing here on a MONDAY! As we entered the park it only got worse--there were people everywhere and long long lines. Little did we know that California had given their schools the whole week off because of budget cuts. So we tried to make the best of it (but I know I was not happy!) It is kind of scary to me when there are so many people and we are trying to keep track of everyone. We ended up getting to ride most of the rides we wanted to but we didn't leave Disneyland until 11pm (2 hours later than our plan) and drove home. Cassie has an A hour and we were able to get home just in time for her to jump in the shower and get ready. It's a good thing we LOVE Disneyland!
It's a Small World was beautiful with all the lights.
Our traditional "C" picture for Chelsey, Chantz, Cassie, Clay, Carlee, Cami & Chloe
Carlee's first time on the "maliboomer"--she definitely got talked into it by her older brothers and sisters!
Our favorite water ride. We tried to go during the middle of the day so we wouldn't be so freezing! (I say "we" but I really mean they--not me!)
"Mr. Incredible" has nothing on the men in our family!
We are so cheap--we only buy a couple of yummy ice-cream sandwiches and then everyone has to share!
Waiting for the "Christmas Parade" with all the characters. We decided to watch it this year because it was so crowded we hadn't really seen the princesses. It was well worth the wait!
