Best of 2008 (in no particular order)--Family Vacation

Annie was not a fan of Mickey Mouse. She cried bloody murder and sweet Mickey ended up sitting on the ground just to get her in a picture looking at the camera, but I liked this one better because he tried so hard. I was changing Creed so we missed it. FYI: 10 days of apple juice, apple sauce, and sliced apples that come in toddler kiddy meals takes it's toll on a kids digestive system. By the end of the day, either Creed or Annie was naked...and we did pack a change of clothes. Something to remember for next time.

Disney Fun!!

We love the Characters!! We waited in every line, including the Disney Princesses which took almost an hour, but worth it. We did have some fun memories of characters picking us out. This is at the beginning of the day, I think on our early admission day. We played with Goofy, Chip and Dale, and Pluto for 20+ minutes that morning. I know, we could have ran to a ride, but it's hard to run anywhere with 5 kids and a stroller. So why not take advantage of what the kids want to do anyway. I had to keep telling myself that this vacation was for them, not me :)

We finally made it!! After a long drive, 3 days of zoos, and characters at Universal Studios, and a weekend of relaxing......we arrived at Disneyland. Lets not kid anyone, clearly this was the highlight of the trip. That's why we saved it for last. The weather the entire time we were gone was 60's-to low 70's. Pretty cold for California, but it wasn't so bad wearing a sweater every once in awhile. It made waiting in line bearable and at least we weren't sweating. We missed out on all of the water rides because we didn't want to deal with wet and cold kids. Hurray!! The fun begins.
