We Discovered the Magic


  On Friday Feb 27th we got in our car and headed for Los Angelos, California.  We arrived at my Grandma Judy's house on Saturday afternoon and got to spend the day with my mom, grandma, aunts, uncle and cousins.  
The three girls also got haircuts.  Sunday we went to church and took my mom to the airport.  Monday - Wednesday we went to Disneyland!  We also went to the beach on Tuesday afternoon but found that the wind made the temperature drop too much.  So Emily dug in the sand for 25 minutes and then we left.
  

  Disneyland was fun!  The first thing we saw on the first day was Mickey.  Ashley wasn't so sure how she liked characters at first.  After she saw 5 princesses she decided she really liked characters and by day three she was hugging Pooh and Tigger of her own choice.   The weather was cloudy the first day, the second day was hot and then rainy our last day.   When I asked her what was her favorite part Ashley said it was Ariel's bathroom (in Ariel's Grotto and was green with seashells on the floor).  The picture shows the two princesses with their prince on the way to lunch at Ariel's house.  
 Emily said her favorite rides were the fast roller coaster rides with dad (Space and Splash Mtn).  Ashley's favorite characters were Pooh and Tigger and Emily's was Chip the chipmunk.  I think Bryan really enjoyed that he didn't have to work and he got to ride lots of fun and fast roller coasters.  And although I was looking forward to the beach, I really enjoyed that no one got sick or hurt and we all got to spend time together for a week.  We got home late Thursday night and are glad to have gone and glad to be home.

I called Grandma Judy as you were loading the car for the beach. Hope it wasn't too windy or cold.

James' mom gave us all the Leggos she had been saving since James was a kid. They are having a ball!

Sounds like you've been having some fun. I'm jealous you got to go to Cali. You're looking great, all prego and everything. I can't believe you're already 25 weeks. Can't wait to see what this little guy looks like :)

It was great that your family could come to Orange County for a quicky visit. The pictures are great!
