Disneyland...we love it!

Hmmm....I really let time pass before posting, don't I? I guess I don't feel like I have anything worthy of being posted in cyberspace. :)

At Christmas, we were in AZ with all my brothers and sisters and we planned a spring break trip to Disneyland. When the time finally came to "fish or cut bait" only three of the families ended up coming. Too bad cuz we had a MARVELOUS time! How could we not when we had the Disneyland guru (Tony) with us who used his fabulous powers to make sure we had enough Fast Passes to go on whatever ride we wanted as many times as we wanted? I went on California Screamin' until I felt sick and then the kids kept on going on it after that. Thanks, Tony!
We were always waiting at the gates when they opened and we had a group every night who stayed until it closed (I was not in this group; I created my own secret escape that involved taking the tired child back to the hotel with a stop at Cold Stone on the way in - I highly recommend "Berry Berry Berry").
Katie loved the tea cups...there was barely a line so she would get off the ride and immediately run around to get back on again. Her brother and sisters were not willing to go with her, so good ol' Dad did his duty (his stomach was a little woozy).
My kids love being with their little cousins...my girls are more than willing to carry a baby around. But Josh became really interested in Heather's little girl Taryn - he just loved her and decided to work on winning her favor (she's picky). He walked all around with her and held her every chance she got and he must have won her over because at one point when she was tired she just leaned in to him. He loved it! We got a picture of it which he now has as the screensaver on his computer.
My favorite ride was Tower of Terror. The last time we went to Disneyland was five years ago, just a few months before this ride opened, so I hadn't been on it before. I loved the feeling in my stomach when the ride would drop and unlike rides that go upside down, this one didn't give me a headache.
It was such a great week. So fun to be with my brother and sister and their families and to be in the "happiest place on earth."
