hello dusty old blog and Disneyland adventures...

Today I wiped the dust off the old blog and started with cleaner brighter look for now.  I might get fancier if I stay at it.  I miss the writing down of things about life and everyday.  So, here I go again.  Trying desperately to record small pieces of the the adventures of life experienced in the everyday in this family with the challenges it holds and with the blessings it brings.  Especially with three busy (and very quickly growing kids) to keep up with!

These photos pretty much sum up our trip....we spent a day and a half or more in a car to reach this place, but it is one of our favorites spots on this earth--the Ocean!  We had fun digging in the sand, building sand castles, and searching for sea shells all whilst running, laughing, dipping our toes in the water, and bouncing around the volleyball.  It was worth all the lingering sand on everyone and in the car.  Ahhhh, the beach.

he ran around for a solid hour with the biggest, sweetest, toothless grin




Cutest Piggies filled with Sand...  She LOVED it and cried when it was time to leave


Then after 3 nights and a couple days frolicking by the sea and a visit to Legoland (my camera did not visit Legoland-oops), we moved more northern to the Happiest place on Earth!  (aka Disneyland)  The kids were anxious for this trip and even more anxious to check out Disneyland and California Adventure and mom and dad had agreed to participate in two days of this insanity--what were we thinking?  

We made the trek to Anaheim.
Anxious to hit the gate at Disneyland

we purchased our tickets--woohoo!





This princess and her prince pointing to the castle





The three of them were so excited to walk through the famous castle with their sister who has never been here!

Goofy is one of our favorites!

I have a similar picture of this kid in this same spot when he was three,
the lighting wasn't good but he is still so cute!

Plunking away on Goofy's piano







we got the PINK teacup which was a must for the smallest in our group

Mater's tractor ride in California Adventure






Sunday was afraid of Doug from the Movie UP, but we were thrilled to meet him--SQUIRREL!

our favorite ride at California Adventure! 


 This day was really amazing from start to finish with a color show set to music and water fountains.  As usual Disney does everything with such great detail and wonderful effects.  We saw anAladdin play, Disney Junior live on Stage, two parades, fireworks, and rode many, many themed rides and saw and met lots of the Disney Characters!

I have more pictures on both of our phones but will leave this for now and post again with more to see soon!
