A few weeks ago Brady had to make another trip down to Cali for work. Me and the kids were lucky enough to go and spend a few days at Disneyland. It is all Ellie has been talking about since our first trip in February, so we didn't tell her where we were going until we got there. We also brought Cooper along for the fun!!
We headed out Sunday morning and made pretty good time, the entire way we told Ellie we would go swimming when we got to the hotel, since we were surprising her. Well, that was exactly what she wanted to do when we got there, which was nice because it was pretty warm. After swimming we went back and got ready to head over to the Happiest Place on Earth. We took it pretty easy that night and mainly rode a few rides, watched the parade, did the Tiki Room, and waited around for the fireworks. We also found a new favorite ride, the Casey Junior train ride. That night Ellie loved seeing Tinkerbell fly across the park and Coop loved the fireworks. I forgot my camera this day so sorry no pics:(
The next few days are kind of blur since it's been awhile,however, here are some highlights!! Ellie now sings Small World, she was pretty concerned that pirates were scary?? but we kept telling her no, they are funny, and she meet her dream princesses Snow White and Sleeping Beauty.
Cooper's favorite was the Buzz ride, flirting with all the cute older girls in line, meeting the characters, especially Snow White, I think we was in LOVE!!and the free churro we scored in line at the jungle cruise.
Brady and I both ran into some friends from high school which was fun.
We also had a few first in the park, we rode in the front car of the monorail, saw many of the characters we've never seen before, ate BBQ, and took things nice and slow!!
But truly our kids loved every minute in Disneyland!! They both did pretty good waiting in the lines, Cooper took awesome naps in the stroller, and Ellie continues to talk about it and wants to take Ryker back with us the next time. I am so glad that we have been lucky enough to make the trip a few times and can't wait to go back in the fall when it's cooler and less people!
Every night as we got ready to leave the park, we would get out Coop's blankie and he would lay his head down on the tray and be out within 30 secs. I loved it, he was so adorable!!With 2 kids it was harder to get more pics, I noticed after getting home, so hope you enjoy the ones we took!!
For Memorial Day Weekend we were invited to go camping with a few families in our ward and it was so much fun. We all headed out Thursday afternoon and went up to Enterprise Reservoir, it was a great place to camp with tons of rocks for the kids to climb on and plenty of dirt for Cooper to eat. Brady and Ellie enjoyed a few 4 wheeler rides and a quick fishing trip, while me and Cooper napped. Other than it being REALLY windy,it was perfect and not to HOT! The weekend made me realize how much I do enjoy camping especially with a trailer and I can't wait to go again SOON!!
