Gordon had some extra vacation days at the end of the year and we needed to use them up or lose them. We bounced around a few ideas of maybe camping or just relaxing at home, when I threw out that we could take the kids to Disneyland. That idea stuck and we decided to not tell the kids, and hardly anyone else our plans. We packed up the car and headed for a visit to Daddy's cousins. The kids were not suspicious at all, since we had driven to visit these very cousins before and never even drove by Disneyland.
After one night of playing at our California cousins home, and a day at church we drove to LA to have dinner with a friend. Driving by the park, trying to find our hotel I asked Lily to read a street sign for me. Imagine her voice climbing an octave and raising in volume as she read "Disneyland Way!" All three girls were really excited as we could finally talk about princesses, Mickey Mouse and fairies out loud.
The weather didn't cooperate on the first day though. We tried, but we were pretty soaked just walking to the gate. So from just outside the gate, where our kids could see Disneyland, we turned back and found other entertainment for the day.
We went bowling (since it's indoors) and back to our friend's home that's near the park. Later on, after the rain died down, we went out to a pier.

I love the umbrella pic and the beach pic at the end!
