I am a true believer that Disneyland is really magical. We took the kids last week and it was everything I hoped it would be. We decided to drive and stop in Vegas for a night. We stayed at a place called Red Rock. It was so nice. We took the kids down to see the strip and wore them out. I forget how dirty the strip can be. We got up the next morning and headed to California. It was a long drive , but the kids did so good. We finally made it to our hotel. We stayed at the Grand California and it was amazing. The atmosphere was so fun and we were right on the parks and downtown disney. The rooms had bunk beds for the kids and a nice bed for Jeff and I. When we stepped out on our balacony, we were loving our view. The whole park. The kids were so excited that we headed to the parks. It really wasn't as busy as I thought it might be. We tried to do everything we could fit in. We were afraid that Morgan wouldn't be tall enough, but she was and was able to go on pretty much everything. Did she love everything? No! We took here on Splash Mountain and she was so scared that she screamed and cried. When we took her on Tower of Terror, it a whole other story. When we got in the elevator and in our seats, Morgan would not talk or move. The whole time Jeff and I kept looking at her laughing so hard. She did so amazing. That was the only time we could get her on it. We were able to have breakfast with the characters and get lots of characters autographs. It was days filled with alot of walking and alot of rides and lot of laughter. The nice thing about staying on the park, is that when you get tired you can go back to room or pool and relax and then go back later. The kids loved the pool and wanted to swim everyday. The weather was so nice. We couldn't have asked for better. Jeff and I were able to celebrate our 12 year anniversary while we there. It was fun because that is where we went on our honeymoon. To celebrate with the kids was really fun. Jeff even surprised me with a massage. It was so nice. We Headed back to Spanish Fork and back to reality. Hope you are ready for some serious picture overload. Pictures of Luke are to come next.
