California 2008

We had such a fun time in Disneyland this year. It was the perfect time to visit. There were hardly any lines at all and the weather was almost perfect. It was a little hot the first few days.

We rented a nerdy mini van and drove down with Brenda and Melinda. The van was quite comfortable to ride in (thanks to the bucket seats in the middle row), but it was very noisy in the front seats...thanks to the roof bag. Oh well, we needed it for the stroller on the way down and it was packed full on the way home.

Ty was finally tall enough to ride most the fun rides. His favorite ride was Splash Mountain, we rode it so many times. He rode it at least twice everyday. There was always someone willing to sit out with McKinlee so he could go again. He really liked them all except for the Matterhorn. He had watched "A Day in Disneyland" too many times before we left and knew that the abominable snowman was in the ride. He loved all the other rides.

McKinlee was really cute with the characters. She was not nervous about them like Ty was, she wanted to hug and kiss them.

I think the highlight of Disneyland was breakfast in the park with Minnie and friends at the Plaza Inn. It was a great way to see the characters and the food was really good too. We will have to make this a tradition of every trip.

With only a few major and a few more minor "incidents", we got along pretty well for spending eight days together.

The kids were good in the van, they had fun

with Melinda & Brenda entertaining them for the long ride.


We stopped at the park in Washington for lunch on the way.
