And We're Off

This is us super early Tuesday morning at the airport. We're more than ready to leave the snow behind!



Here we are on the plane. This was a first for the kids and they were really excited. They all did awesome. I was a little nervous that they would be scared and that it would bother their ears, but they thought it was fun!



We have now arrived in Disneyland, starving! Our first stop--Downtown Disney--Naples Restaurant. Here they have some awesome pizza and pasta dishes!



After filling our tummies, we wandered around looking at all the stores. We all loved this LEGO store. It was amazing to see this huge giraffe built out of Lego. They also had an R2-D2 robot that even made sounds and Darth Vader that the kids had to pose in front of (they love Star Wars right now--thanks to Chad!)



This picture was taken in front of another store/restaurant that puts on little shows with different birds--maybe other animals too, but we only saw the parrot and heard them announce another bird. Anyways, the best part of this store was that it had a huge salt-water fish tank inside. (It divided the store from the restaurant). Of course Chad and the kids loved it. I seriously don't know how long we were in that store (longer than any other that's for sure!)





Of course everything was all decorated for Christmas. It was quite the sight! Especially at night. Everything had lights and it was beautiful! More to come soon...

Great post, but you've left us hanging on for more. MORE details... more more more! Like on a Fun scale or Most Amazing Trip Ever scale, where would you rate it? Did Ella love the princesses? What was Mason's favorite? Did Tyson belive the characters were real and not people just dressed up? OK, I'll be patient and wait for more. But seriously can't wait till we see you guys next week and can get all the details. Don't forget your pictures (you may need to burn them to a disk or something so we can view them!). Fun. Hope EVERYONE is feeling well!!!!! Oh, and crazy lego! That's insane. Seriously. And that tree looks like it's ornaments are as big as Tyson's head! Man, things really are "bigger and better" at Disneyland!

Just to let you know, right now in Calgary it's -27°C. I know it makes getting away all that much sweeter when you know the weather back home is horrendous, and it is. Nicely done!

Have an extra awesome time!

Haha, well we have never been the most dedicated bloggers but we will try to give regular updates.

Lorin, we got home this past Tuesday and you're right, we did pick a good time to be away... I just wish we were away longer.
