The Happiest Place on Earth!!

This is really part two of our Cali vacation.  I did the beach as a separate post . . . for picture reasons :)  WE LOVE DISNEYLAND!!  I was very very hopeful that Bryndee would be the brave girl we make her out to be . . . she absolutely lived up to our expectations!  She went on any ride that we put her on . . . Tower of Terror (which she calls the Elevator), Splash Mountain, Space Tours, the Matterhorn, and Space Mountain to name a few.  LOVED IT!!  She was so great.  We went for three days (not right in a row, of course) and had time to do almost everything.  There was a Bug's Life movie . . . she was terrified.  And for some reason, we made her watch it twice.  Smooth move, really.

This is the whole Wilkins crew.  Even Jayden was able to come with us, thanks to Debbie :)  As you can tell in the picture, no babies.  We even left Tyson, Ryan and Mini's two year old home.  It was pretty perfect!

This is the last moment we were in Disneyland on the last night.  Bryndee was SO exhausted.  It was the only day that we brought a stroller, and I'm sure glad that we did . . . she wouldn't have made it half the time we were there.  She passed out immediately in the car.

Woody was so so cute with her.  She gave him a kiss on the cheek and he fell over onto the stage . . . she was pleasantly "embarrassed."

These little fountains were such a nice distraction when the kids needed a break from rides . . . or the heat.  The problem?  One good hit from a stream of water and you are completely drenched.  We only know this because it happened . . . two different days :)

Fav moments from our California trip (they are almost all Bryndee :):

1.  Bryndee's PRICELESS face each time we saw a new character.

2.  Bryn at the parade the last night we were there.  She almost passed out with excitement!

3.  Walking onto the beach for the first time.  It took a few minutes to get the kids to go down to the water . . . they were too happy to just sit next to the side walk and dig :)

4.  Space Mountain.  I wish now that I had bought the picture so everyone could enjoy Bryn's face.  Again . . . priceless.

5.  Seeing my husband every minute of the day for (almost) seven days in a row!!

6.  Sitting next to Tyler in sacrament meeting.

7.  Spending quality time with the whole fam.  We really dig hanging out.

8.  Holding Bailey after a week long absence from her.  I thought someone switched my baby :)

Thanks Debbie and the Wilkins family for such a stinking great time!  Wish we could do it every year!!  We'll start saving our pennies :)
