The Happiest Place on Earth!!

So two years ago we decided that when Jace graduated SUU we would take a trip to Disney Land with our kids.  Well he finally graduated!!! Yay Yay  We had a wonderful day celebrating and spending time with family.  I must say the reality of him being done with school really hasn't sunk in yet!!
Two days later we loaded up the car and headed out to California. 

Cons of the trips

• We left Sunday afternoon and didn't know that everyone who lives in California goes to Vegas for the weekend.  So we got to sit in traffic for almost four hours on a stretch that was supposed to take 2 1/2! Stop and go and stop and go and completely stop!  It was a mess....Thank goodness for car DVD players and zanex!  haha
• We had to leave a day early because Jace had a job interview.  :(

Pros of the Trip

• Our hotel was awesome!  Complimentary breakfasts and dinners.  They had a free shuttle to and from Disney land. Our rooms were separated into two parts so we could send the kids to bed and stay up later and we had a kitchen.

• The weather was perfect.  Not to hot or cold and the kids got to have a break from their allergies for a while. 

• It was a slow week for Disney land. The park wasn't so crowded and we got to see a lot of characters.

• My dad had a wheel chair and Ellis got a guest assistance pass so we didn't have to wait in long lines.  We thought we would be tough and see if Ellis could handle it but he just couldn't.  It was so nice and took a lot of stress off knowing we didn't have to fight him. 
• Disney Lands computers went down for a whole day so they had no idea who had electronic passes and who didn't. We got an extra day for free.  
• Great company!
• The parade was so neat!
• It was really fun watching my kids enjoy themselves and the look on their faces when they got to meet someone or see something that they liked.  They are at the perfect age where they still believe and thought everyone was real!!

 Ellis was one happy guy when he got to meet the Tinkerbell fairy's

 We got a puppy and Kitty for the day!  The puppy didn't last very long so he looked like he had  black eye in the rest of the pictures!!

 Mr. Mickey Mouse himself!!!!

Ellis is really sensitive to sound and hates parades.  We got him some ear covers and it was great.  He loved the parade and didn't get scared at all.  

 Kylie was so brave and went on Space Mtn. and Splash Mtn.  You can barely see her head behind my dad and speaking of my dad isn't that hilarious.  My nieces came running out and said we weren't scared at all.  I said really cuz look at your faces.  haha

 I want to go back already.  I told Jace I could stay there forever! Who wouldn't want to go play and have someone clean my room while I was gone and prepare breakfast and dinner.  That would be the life.
