Disneyland 2009!

After Thanksgiving, we went with our best friends, the Araves for a quick trip to Disneyland. Since we were already 1/3 of the way there, we decided we would continue on down towards the warmer weather. We left Mitchell with my mom, dad and sisters to be well taken care of. (and he was!) On saturday after our family pictures, we took the girls and drove to Las Vegas. We spent the night with Matt's parents, stopping to see his sister Amy and her family on the way. The Araves met up with us late that night. We got up bright and early Sunday morning and left for Disney about 6am. The kids were total troopers and we got there just shortly after 9am. We were in the park by 10am. It was awesome.

We spent Sunday, Monday and most of Tuesday in Disneyland and California Adventure. About 5pm on Tuesday, we headed back to Vegas. Made a quick stop at Matt's parents again and then made our way up to St. George. We spent the night at Ammon's parents house so we could be "that much closer" to Mitchell for the next morning. Mitch did great until the last day or so. Then he started to realize that mom and dad were gone and he got a little fussy. Needless to say, we were VERY excited to see our Bo Bo.

We had an A-Mazing time in Disneyland and can't wait to start saving so we can go back with Mitchell in a couple of years. Family pictures were bitter sweet without our little man with us. BUT, we had a great time. Thanks Araves for the invite!!!

WARNING: PICTURE OVERLOAD (BUT IT'S FOR MY JOURNAL!)
Some of our favorite rides included:

Condor Flats (Soarin Over CA)

Splash Mountain

It's a Small World

Winnie The Pooh

Space Mountain (not so much Madeline)

Monsters Inc.

Ariels Grotto (where the girls met the princesses)

We were all in Disneyland heaven for the 3 days we were there. It's no wonder they call it "MAGICAL" and the "HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH"

THANK YOU FOR AN AWESOME TRIP! WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT TIME!
