Spring Break

This year spring break was an entire week--very rare for Utah! We thought it would be fun to take the kids to Disneyland as a surprise. So last Saturday night after the kids were in bed, we packed up the car and then woke them all up at 5 AM and said, "Let's go to Disneyland!" They were so funny, they didn't believe us and kept saying, "No way, really?" over and over. It was awesome. We made it to Anaheim in about 9 1/2 hours which wasn't too bad. The kids do well in the car, they don't need to stop a ton. We only stopped twice on the way down.

We went to California Adventure on Monday and had a great time. We practically walked onto every ride and the weather was perfect.

I LOVE Dopey! I was so happy to get a picture of the family with him!

I absolutely will not go on ANY spinning rides, otherwise I will be sick all day! Good thing Tom loves them!

This is the family in their 3-D glasses getting ready for the Bug's Life movie, "It's Tough to be a Bug" which was so cute.

That night we took the kids to the beach. The water was FREEZING cold and it was only 65 degrees out but the kids didn't mind. They just love the beach!

The next three days were spent in Disneyland. We love Disneyland so much, no matter how many times we go we never get tired of it. The lines were short on Tuesday and Wednesday but by Thursday it was starting to get a bit more crowded. We saw a ton of people from Utah there that we knew which was a lot of fun. One fun thing that happened was when we were on Splash Mountain the ride broke down. We were in a log at the top of the ride so we had to wait for an employee who came and helped us out of the log and then we all walked down the entire ride. It was pretty wild!





Anyone who enjoys the show "Biggest Loser" will appreciate this story. Last week was the season finale of the show in LA so all the contestants were there with their families. Roger, one of the three finalists on the show was at Disneyland our last day there! We saw him while in line for Splash Mountain and then again when we got off. We were able to talk to him and ask questions about the show, but we didn't want to know who won...it was on DVR at home! Tom got a picture with him--he and his wife were really so nice. It was our version of a celebrity!
