More Disney...

This is really for my benefit, so one day when I do publish this blog into a book I'll have the pictures I want in it.  So I was lucky to be able to meet a friend from San diego in Disneyland and spend some time with her.  She had her two little girls with her, one is close to Drew's age.  They had a lot of fun together.  
 The kids had fun in Tarzan's house although I miss the Swiss Family Robinson tree house.
 bug's life and Toy Story Mania.  Toy Story Mania is a really fun ride.  It's  new and really entertaining.

 Screamer ended up being Taylor's favorite ride!


 It was so hot while we where there.  The kids cooled off in Bug Life area.  It took drew about 10 minutes before he started to get wet.  He didnt' really want to get wet, and stayed dry all that time, walking around avoiding the water.  Eventually he realized it was better to get wet.

 Going on peter pan, drew was worried that is was going to be fast when we started going.  but he loved it when he realized there weren't any big hills.











 So we took Drew on thunder mountain, not the best idea.  The poor boy was so scared, My brother sat with him and had to hold him so tight the whole time, Drew kept trying to slide down towards the feet.  His face was total terror as we started towards the end he would squeeze his eyes shut and hold his body really tight.  You can see his face below.  He did not like it at all!  He informed us that it was "stupid and  was never going on that ride again!"

I love my brothers face and his sons.  they are in the front.



We just got off the boys favorite ride Winnie the Pooh!  Don't they looks so thrilled, I think they want to ride again!











We where really lucky the lines where really quick, we didn't have to wait long for many.  Here we are waiting for Autopia.  I think Drew gave me whiplash.

Disneyland...

So the end of May we took of for Southern California and Disneyland.  Savannah and Taylor took of first. They flew down on Friday to spend sometime with their dad.  It took a lot of convincing to get Savannah on this flight.  My father in law was there thankfully and helped them on the plan, since he works for Delta he walked them on the plane.  Savannah was crying but they had a wonderful flight attendant.  She made them fill really comfortable and they where just fine.  They had a lot of fun with their dad.  They got to eat out at their favorite place  Boston Market.  They got to go to the beach, swim and get their toe and finger nails done.  They where really cute.  Mark drove them up to Disneyland and dropped them off at our hotel.    (I won't tell you about our visit.)
Here they are just before getting on the plan.



We drove all day, made a quick stop to say Hello to my grandma in St. George.  Got in at a descent hour on Sunday.  Time to relax and get ready for Disneyland.

 Our first ride was finding Nemo.
