Disney Land

We are back from our vacation/ work trip to Disneyland. What a fun time. Bryson dared himself to go on all the scary rides he could and he loved it. His vote for the scariest ride was Tower of Terror. Andrew was not feeling nearly as adventurous and was quite upset after I took him on Space Mountain. Granted if I had remembered what it was like I wouldn't have taken him. Live and learn. We all loved the gigantic ferris wheel, Soaring Over California and the newer Toy Story ride. I would have liked to go on those a few more times. Catherine was a little slow to warm up to the rides. I think her favorite in the end was the Carousel. When we would pass Levi as we went around she would squeal and wave at him.

On Thursday the Jazz Band did a great job performing at California Adventure. That of course was the reason we were there.

I would love to share all of the great pictures from our trip, but our camera stayed home where it was safe and sound. Fully charged and ready to go with a ridiculous amount of memory. I did get one of our friends/band moms to take a couple of pictures.

Andrew in his true theme park form wasn't feeling well our whole trip. He had a fever on and off and I believe we may have a case of chicken pox. While many of you groan, we are actually having a little celebration of a sort. We really wanted the kids to get them before they were too old. He is a little miserable, but not too bad.

We missed our family on this trip. It was the first time that my kids had gone without having Arron and Marcy with us. We did have a great time, but is was not the same without cousins and aunts and uncles. Besides, I know the Desert Inn Suites holds a special place in Marcy's heart:) Anyway, we are back even though Bryson, Catherine and I wanted to stay a bit longer. At least I get to sleep in my own bed as a trade off for not being in Disneyland today.
