I need a vacation!

We just got back yesterday from our week of fun at Disneyland and I am EXHAUSTED!
One of our first stops was to the princess pavillion so we could meet some princesses. The wait wasnt too long and we left Jeff and Crystal in line while we went and listend to a story by Cinderella. Jessie also used the time to decorate her daddy.










This was so cute when Jessie gave Sleeping Beauty a big old hug first thing.



Then we made our way over to California Adventures to watch the HighSchool Musical 3 parade. The girls really enjoyed that.


The start of Tuesday we went on Dumbo and it was just a bit chilly up in the air.


Then the girls and I did a little shopping while Jeff and Crystal went on the Indiana Jones ride. The girls got necklaces and rings. They had 5 rings a piece and I think they are all lost already. But at least they still have the necklaces.


This would be the 7 dollar lunch on Tuesday. 4 very tiny nuggets in a really big box. Jessie also got picked to do the Jedi training and made it through about 1 minute of it before she started crying! Oh well Ryan will enjoy that one in a few years.

Jessie had had it by this time but she pulled through once she got a taste of Big Thunder Mountain.


Day three. Crystal decided to take it easy back at the hotel so it was just the four of us that day. It was nice to spend some time with just the girls.


we got lots of comments on our orange outfits that day it was funny. We just had to take a picture because it seemed so weird to see hardly any people walking around that morning.


waiting in line at big thunder mountain......AGAIN! We went on that thing at least 20 times no kidding!


We also got to ride on a horse drawn carriage with the Dapper Dans. They sang a few numbers on our way up mainstreet. The funny thing is they got off when we did but when we came back to Disneyland a few hours later they were back and we rode with them again!


Jeff ran back to the hotel to check on Crystal and get some stuff we forgot so the girls and I were on our own for a while. We went to A bugs life show. Did the bumper cars and the swinging ride then it was time to meet up with Jeff again.


Jess wasnt big enough to go on the rafting ride so she and I waited while Jeff and Cassie went on it. We ate most of the cotton candy while we were waiting too.


Here is Cassie with what was left of the Cotton Candy.


After all that cotton candy I was ready for some salt so we got a turkey leg. Oh it was sooooo yummy and it fed all four of us!

After three days we were beat. We went back to the hotel for a rest then went to Costco for dinner. We did manage to drag ourselves back to Disneyland one more time that night for five more rides on Big Thunder Mountain and then we headed on back for the last time. We got out of there pretty early the next morning and we were home by 1:30 that afternoon. We had a whole lot of fun but I am ready for a few days of lounging and lazyness.
