Disneyland

Last month we decided to take a much deserved family vacation! At that time we thought that Chad might be leaving in March for training in another state for 5 months with the FBI. So we decided to take the last week in February and take the kids to Disneyland for 5 days. We drove so we thought why not extend this trip a few extra days and do some fun things on the way. We left super early in the morning of the 21st and got back home late on the 1st of March. Our first stop was Las Vegas. We had a hotel reservation on the strip. All I want to say about our Vegas experience is that we will NEVER EVER take the kids there again!!! The sad thing is that there are a lot of fun things for FAMILIES there too. But we can have fun elsewhere too!
So next day we got up early and just took off...we didn't want to see or smell Las Vegas anymore. We drove from there strait to California, got there just in time to catch sacrament in this ward that Chad had look up online for the address, it was really close to our Hotel. But the weird thing is that there's nobody there...so we get in and Chad spots a calendar that says that that Sunday was stake conference...go figure?! :) So to our hotel we went. We stayed this time at Desert Palms, 5 minutes walk from the Disneyland gates...HIGHLY recommend that place! Everything was very well taken care of and very clean! They also have free hot breakfast that was very nice!
The 5 days in Disneyland went by very fast!!! But by the 3rd day I woke up already feeling like I wanted to crawl up and die...my feet was already hurting in the morning resting at night did no good! :( You try walking ALL day long inside that park pregnant! Don't recommend! Took me several days after I got back home to feel like I could walk again without any pain in my feet. But I must say that I do miss their pickles and chocolate fudge funnel cake ( it's a funnel cake with brownies, chocolate syrup, whipped cream and powder sugar...can you say YUMMY??!!). One of the days that we were there we had Breakfast with some of the Disney characters over at Goofy's Kitchen. I must say that's my favorite place to eat at Disney. Goofy comes out and dances and play games in the middle of the floor with the kids every 20 minutes or so. Lots of fun!
We also got to meet with the Rex's family a few times, our kids are super good friends and Juls and Belle couldn't be happier to see them there and to go to some of the rides together!!! We even got to have a couple of meals together and also watch the Disney Pixar parade and Fantasmic together. Here's a picture of all of us together.



Oh I forgot to say that we also got to go to Huntington Beach before we started our 5 days at Disney. After we left California we stayed a night at Primm, by then we were so sick of the "Casino" environment that I must say that we didn't enjoy it at all our stay there. We got up and took the kids to Hoover Dam and from there...straight home with of course a few quick stops to eat and all of that fun stuff...vacation was nice...actually was great...but so was being home again!

Hugs and Vacationing
