Day 3....First day at Disneyland

We were lucky and the rain held out for us for just a bit...a wee bit on the first day(like an hour!) Here we are in all our cute shirts my sister did!

Mr. Toad...our first ride!

Still no rain! Storybook Land

The tea cup! The ride was closed so we settled for this!

Toon Town.

Nice to meet you Minni Mouse!

Addy loved her house! It was pretty cool! Even I felt like a kid again!

On to Mickey's house....and the rain started!

Pirates of the Caribbean.....yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me!

Only Me, Elijah, Ian, Grandpa, Ben, and Allison braved Thunder Mountain in the rain!

IT WAS AWESOME! See I have this thing where I have to scream the whole time....soon my boys caught on too! LOL it was great!

Despite how wet we were by about 1pm....Gweny was all smiles!

It was a short lived day because of the rain....but we enjoyed time together at the house! Elijah stayed a bit longer with Jordan, Allison and Grandpa and Grandma and had some hot chocolate!

  

Day 2 @ the house

My mom put together little gift bags for all the grandkids so that's what we did first!

I took my sisters family pics....a little stuck on location because it was raining but it's all good!

A brief laps in the rain so we headed out to the heated pool then ended up in the hot tub!

Watching How to train your Dragon!

Dog pile grandpa and grandma!

My mom was turning 60 in 60 days so my sis thought it would be fun to throw her a party since we were all together! Good times and great pie!

Yeah...............ummm I don't know!

I took around 470 pictures so it was hard to choose what ones to put on here! Good thing I am making a book for us to enjoy!

On our way to CAL-I-FORN-I-A

Ian thought it would be fun to take Hoops with us! LOL

Waiting at the airport...the flight attendent was AWESOME! We ran out of snacks so I asked him if he had a small bag of those airplane crackers. He didn't but came back with 3 fruit bars, a bag of chips, and a bag of ritz crackers.....also a full can of apple juice!
