Disneyland!!

 The fun didn't stop after Christmas, Dane had an interview in California so me and the kids stayed in Utah while he traveled to a couple other interviews and then drove to California with Myrna and Doug to meet up with him when he got there. 
 
My kids are becoming good little travlers so I wasn't worried about the drive down but the fuel pump went out in Doug's truck when we were in Beaver so that tacked on almost 5 extra hours to the trip while we waited to get the truck towed and fixed...thank goodness for Mcdonalds playplace!
 And as if Disneyland isn't exciting enough to make things even better Shelby, Trevor, and Reid were able to drive down and join us!!  We didn't get to see them at Christmas because they went to Australia so I was soooo excited we got to see them!!
 

Myrna loves every part of Disneyland except for Small World...which just so happens to be one of my kids favorite rides, she was a good sport and came on it with us haha




 Quinn LOVED the characters...as long as they didn't get within ten feet of her.  I wouldn't be surprised if Minnie Mouse has permanent hear loss after the way Quinn screamed at her when she got too close.
 

 
 Ok cars world is AWESOME it looks exactly like Radiator Springs...we have been dying to take Beck to cars world since we first heard they were building it.  The only bummer was he was barely too short to go on the cars rollercoaster and it was so so so fun he would have loved it.  I'm afraid the poor little guy is going to be too short to go on some of the rides until he's like 16, he wasn't even close to being tall enough for rides Indiana Jones
 I know it's been 4 years but it still blows my mind that me and Shelby are moms haha

Myrna is an awesome grandma she made sure the kids had full Disney attire from head to toe and her and Doug treated Beck and Quinn like roalty and carried them all day long both days since they would both much rather be carried than pushed in a stroller, so spoiled.
 
The kids were sound asleep by the time we were done with our first wonderful day at Disney. It was cute watching Dane pull both the strollers back to the hotel at the end of the day.

 Quinn was hilarious on the train she didn't want to get off so she grabbed onto bars for dear life when we tried to get her off so we all acted like we were going to leave her on the ride but she didn't care one little bit that we left her there alone she just gave us all a dirty look and held on until we pried her hands off.


 Disneyland never disappoints it was THE BEST!!!  I hate to be greedy but two days just left us wanting more!
 
 


 Myrna and Doug had to leave the morning after Disneyland and we got to spend one last day in California with Shelby and Trevor.  We met up at a really sweet mall (by sweet I mean Miley Cyrus owns an apartment above this mall...yeah, sweet) and then we took the kids to a way cute play place.  The kids would have been happy to spend the whole day there were so many toys to play with.  Then we went back to Shelby and Trevor's house and got to spend the rest of the day just hanging out and chatting. I wish so much we lived closer to eachother it would be a blast but even though we only see eachother a couple times a year it's always a ton of fun and we make lots of good memories. 
 
We flew back to Virginia early the next day and of course right as I was getting Quinn out of the car at the airport she threw up all over me...someone in our family has gotten sick the day of our flight the last 4 times we have flown back home from Utah/California.  Dane had already checked all our bags so luckily I had an extra shirt to change into but not an extra pair of pants...gross huh!  But hey what do you do.
