Disney Magic!!

We had the BEST week! Last week we headed to Disneyland. We went with Darwin's family. We stayed in Primm at Buffalo Bills. It was a long car ride, I am so impressed with how great the kids did in the car. Jensyn did not sleep at all on the way down.

I packed lots of treats and drinks, coloring books, crayons, markers, stickers, and movies. Grandma Parker gave the kids a backpack filled with fun travel things. Hurley lost priviledges to the markers after he colored his legs, face, and clothes with marker. He is a stinker.

Happy Hurley in his car seat.

Jensyn must have asked "When are we going to be there?" one hundred times.

We woke up early Sunday morning to finish our drive. We stayed at the Grand Californian Hotel. It is so nice. Robyn and James got us the hotel rooms and we are so grateful for their generosity. We shared a room with Ashley and Dwight and their girls. Jensyn's favorite part of the whole trip was playing house each night with Jovie.

After I took this picture of Hurley he took his shoes off and dropped them down the side.

Woo hoo! Mickey Mouse

Bright and early

This is the view from the balcony in our bedroom. We were right by California Adventure.

Every night Tinkerbell would visit our room and leave presents for the kids.

Taking a break from all the walking.

Getting ready to go Trick-or-Treating at Disneyland.

Jensyn dressed up as Snow White. While we were in the park the workers would say, "Hi Princess, how come you aren't in the castle." She would look at them and then at me and then tell me, "I'm not the real Snow White." It was cute.

Snow White and Woody

Woody was done being photographed.


The grandkids all ready to go: Kian-Mickey, Delaney-Alice, Jovie-Belle, Jensyn-Snow White, and Quincie-Cinderella

Quinice got sick so Ashley and Dwight took her to the doctor and then to the ER. She had pneumonia. While they were gone we took Jovie with us for the day. (Quincie is doing much better.)
Here is Jovie waiting for The Muppet 3D movie to start.

We rode "It's a Small World" and Jensyn and Jovie pretended to fall asleep.

Nothing like being coated in sticky cotton candy.

After we left Disneyland we went to my cousin Staci's house. We spent the night (the parents stayed up late talking), the kids played, and we went to Rocky Beach.

Staci with Rio and Zee

Staci's kids are funny. Jensyn and Hurley had so much fun with them.
Jensyn, Zee, Rio, and Taft.



Jensyn and Rio

Hurley fell in the water right after we got there (that is the reason he doesn't have clothes on).
Us at the beach

After we left Staci's we headed to Marc and Julie's house. We arrived 3.5 hours late due to stop and go traffic in LA.

We stayed there for two days. Jensyn and Hurley loved playing with Haley and David. Darwin and I went on a date and Marc and Julie watched the kids for us. The day we left we ate at Claim Jumper which was very yummy.

Jensyn and Haley outside of the ice cream store.

We had so much fun. I hope our kids will have good memories from this "vcation". The weather was rainy and cool and I was surprised how happy the kids were. We had a lot of fun spending so much time with our family and cousins.

I appreciate everyone who made this trip magical.

P.S. We are already saving money for our next trip to Disneyland!!!
