Disneyland

We took our five year pilgremidge to the Happiest Place on Earth the end of Feb/March. I figure if we do this every five years or so, we are going to enjoy it without the throngs who decend upon it during Spring or Fall Break. Although we still managed to run into quite a few families we knew. (This is really just a bunch of pictures, so feel free to skip right through them!) We took great advantage of the fast passes and companion passes, rode all the rides to our fill, even got to stay on some rides and keep riding, had great weather and had no complaints, unless you were the one who rode with Zachary. He loved all the rides that went in circles- rockets, Zephyr (those types) and especially loved spinning on Buzz Lightyear. There was no hope in scoring any points when riding with him, except feeling slightly dizzy when getting off. The other three were roller-coaster-happy, so if you spent more time with them, instead of your head spining when trying to go to sleep, your body felt like it just kept moving.

We tried to give the boys a real life lesson in budgeting. We gave them a budget and with that money they determined where we would stay, if we would walk or ride the ART, would we bring food in or buy food there. All in all they did a great job with their task, although we could used a greater variety in the hotel breakfast. But in their eyes- you don't need more variety if you get donuts every morning!

After Andrew finished fighting Darth Vader, the assistant told him to go use his light saber on the clone trooper. He did as he was told, (suprisingly!) and got a few laughs. I thought he came up with the idea on his own, and wondered what on earth he was doing!

Andrew trying his first roller coaster, he was so excited, but came off almost white and scared stiff. Much to his credit he decided to try it the next day, and fell in love with it. We were proud of him for trying something again, he was truly afraid of.

Andrew still a little shaken up.

 I was the only one who got soaked- I seemed to always get the "lucky" seat!

Eating lunch with the Taylors. I love Boudin bread. Love. Love. Love it. and here all the kids are feeding the seagulls with the left over bread- it about killed me. We were just missing the Bishop ( they actually came the next week). Bro Taylor is the other counselor with Brian.

For Dawn

Zach loves "Kluno"-we can't get him to say Pluto!

Enjoying the massive corn dogs.
