Monday - Characters

We had the BEST luck when it came to seeing Disney characters - we always seemed to be the last allowed in the line to see them and JUST get in - it was great - our first full day and we see Mickey right off! Love the Mouse!

Jungle Cruise
Tarzan Treehouse (formally the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse)
We just missed Pooh but got Tigger and Eeyore
Small World
As you can tell, since I don't know which pictures to share - I am putting each day into a slideshow.

Goofy - just in time for a picture but no autograph til later in the week
Minnie and her house
N and I go on Casey Jr.'s little train - he couldn't wait to get in the cage
California Adventure's World of Color - very pretty!
Disney fireworks over the castle!
Buzz Lightyear adventure - try and shoot Zurg - loved it - we went around and around again and again. Best time to get a lot of rides if AFTER the fireworks when a lot of people leave - and yes a few nights we were all out til midnight - closed the park down!
Autographs with Pluto and the Evil Queen - O was not very happy about her and didn't care for autographs for a few days - she always wanted to be held after that. Some pictures are darker since it's at night - the lighting was not very good.




Sunday - Visiting the Temple

On Sunday we decide to drive up to the L.A. Temple - it is beautiful! and very large.
It is on Santa Monica Blvd. We had to sing the song.
Then we went to Venice to visit my cousin - can't believe I didn't take any pictures.


Saturday -

Picture slideshow of us arriving at our WorldMark in Anaheim, CA and heading to Disneyland that evening. We had a view of Disney from our room window, we took the ART to Disney, and have a great time!


Disney Surprise!

We tell the boys that we are going to Vegas for a week - so we take off after school and stay the night - the next morning, Saturday, we get up and send the boys on a scavenger hunt to find a red box to find out what we are going to do for the day!




They were a little sad that we weren't staying to go swimming.
