Spring Break Days 1-4

We finally got to take the girls to Disneyland. It was well worth the wait and we all had a great time.
Day 1: We woke up really early to hit the road. We expected the girls to go back to sleep, but of course they didn't. We drove from home to Las Vegas. It was about a 13 hour drive.
We stopped at In-n-Out in St. George UT. The girls were not impressed. Kayla said it just tasted like any old hamburger. In Vegas Joe tried his luck on the slot machines. He lost $10. That is why Joe doesn't gamble. :-)

Day 2-On Sunday we woke up and drove to CA and we met Danny for lunch at Vince's Spaghetti. It was good to get a chance to see him and eat where Grandma L. used to take us all of the time. The food was not as good as I remember but it was fun.
After lunch we went and saw Uncle Jeddie and Aunt Delcie. Derek and his family showed up too.
After that we headed down to Garden Grove and checked into our hotel.
Day 3 - The girls the morning we went to Disneyland. They were so excited!
Minnie Mouse was the only character we took the time to meet. The girls were a little shy and didn't really care to get close to any of them. That was just fine with us because it saved us a lot of time. The line to see Rapunzel had a wait for over an hour. Tinker Bell was even longer. Definitely not worth it.
In Minnie's house.
We had to get a Mickey shaped pretzel for a snack.

Captain EO - The best show at Disneyland!
Tea Cups

Carousel

Waiting to get on Matterhorn, her favorite ride.
Instead of the light parade, Disneyland has Fantasmic. Is was awesome! They had fireworks, lasers, music, character's dancing. It was such a fun show.

Day 4- California Adventure
We rode every ride at the park that the girls could. (The roller coaster was the only one that we couldn't do.) Aly even went on the Tower of Terror ride. She loved it!


Kayla was being silly while we waited in line.

Adventures has a show called 'World of Color.' We were able to get fast passes that allowed us to sit up pretty close. The whole show was with water, lasers, projection, and music. It was another amazing show. We even got a little wet. I couldn't get any good pictures of it but during the show the Mickey Mouse Ferris Wheel was changing colors with the music.
