Disneyland!

My lovely husband has turned into a Scout fanatic! Who knew?! He went to Woodbadge a couple of weekends ago and has University of Scouting today as well as another weekend of Woodbadge soon and Little Philmont camping trip. So between work and scouts I haven't seen him much. A few weeks ago I saw this good deal for Disneyland and we decided it was a good time to get away for a little bit. Ella had never been and she is finally old enough to enjoy it.

Here is Ella in the car on our way to SoCal. She did pretty well in the car. This was the longest road trip we have ever done with her.

We invited Steve's family to come along. Here is Ella with her cousins, Blake and Brock, and Porter!

Ella loved all the characters. She even got a kiss from Mickey but I didn't have time to pull out my camera! She followed the characters whenever she saw one. I was surprised she wasn't more scared.


She even loved the tea cups! I can't even ride those. They make me so sick!



She was chowing on those chips! I guess it is okay at Disneyland. She loved the Tiki Room show with the talking birds!


We had a wonderful time. A bit short but all we could fit in right now with our schedules. We did 2 days at Disneyland and California Adventure. Ella's favorite ride was Pirates of the Caribbean! She keeps talking about the rides and the boat. I was surprised how many rides she can go on. We didn't even have time to do them all. Can't wait to go back!

Aw, such cute pics...although they make me homesick! Looks like you had a fun time. I'm so shocked her favorite was pirates of the caribbean...that's Kiera's least fave, it totally freaks her out. We just make her go on it so we can relax and rest for a little while!

Can't wait to see lots of pictures and hear more about the trip! So glad that she liked the Tiki Room, did you have a chance to get a pineapple whip?

And welcome to the scouting widow's club, (it's not a bad club to be in.) Look on the bright side, he's magnifying his calling, making a difference in the boys' lives, and will be a better man because of it.
