OUR TRIP TO DISNEY (and so much more)

Our family just spent nine days on the road.
We visited friends, family, grave sites, the beach, and Disneyland.
We did so many things in such a short time.
Every day we were off and going.
The kids were amazing troopers (Especially Jarem).
It was so fun to get away and take a time out together as a family.
We were able to see Chandra and her family, Papa and Alice,
Brandon (Shem's old roommate) and his fam, Amber-plus Frank and Grayson.

Amber, Frank, and Grayson


Visiting Shem's grandparents and great grandparents graves.


Huntington Beach

At the hotel pool - Maddie worked on swimming
and Jarem hated the cold water.
We had an awesome time. We'll always remember this trip.
Plus the funny things like our toilet over flowing, getting stuck on a ride,
Maddie screaming, and the broken stroller.

Family Pics from our trip





A post to Tessa


We interrupt our trip posts to recognize Tessa.
Thank you Tessa!!!
Tessa came on our trip with us. We knew we would need help.
Tessa was a life saver. She worked with kids, stood in line for us,
took pictures, and loved our kids like they were her own.







Thanks for all your help Tessa - we owe you big time.

CHARACTERS!

M-I-C-K-E-Y---M-O-U-S-E!










WAHOO FOR WINNIE THE POOH!
We spent A LOT OF TIME seeing characters.
The kids loved it. Emmie was the only one to see Goofy.
Quick story - Emmie wanted to meet Sleeping Beauty,
but when we saw the princesses Aurora wasn't there.
On the last day we finally caught her and got a picture.
Notice the look of excitement on Em's face. (priceless)

The Rides!

Dumbo - a classic






 The new little Mermaid ride - one of their favorites!



Our trip was wonderful! We did so many things
and made some great family memories!
