Day One at DisneyLand


We arrived at the Phillip's home in Temecula, California last night. We were so anxious to see our college friends, Lisa and Steve. Zander and Ali were born one month apart in 1998 and were friends immediately. Lisa and I watched Ali and Zander do all of their "firsts" of everything together. Lisa pulled her kids out of school today to go to Disneyland with us. Yeah! In this picture the kids are in the Disneyland Parking Garage. Back row: Zack (age 8), Ali (age 10), Zander (age 10), and Payton (age 7). Front row: Ellie (age 5), Jenna (age 4), and Kennadie (age 6).

Disneyland here we come...Zack, Ellie, Ali, and Lori.


Kennadie and Ellie found Minnie Mouse. Minnie is dressed for Halloween.


Everything in Disneyland and California Adventure was decorated for Halloween.


California Adventure's Grizzly River Rapids ride was one of our favorite rides. Possibly because we were in 100 degree weather. When we got hot, we would go to this ride or to Splash Mountain. Justin's pictured in the bottom right of this picture.

Dad and Zander went on California Screamin together. No way was I going on a roller coaster that took me in loops upside down!

I asked Zander, "How was it?" He gave me this look. Oops! Actually he went again. He said Tower of Terror made him feel more woozy then this ride.

Disneyland truely is magical. I wish I could come every year with my cute family! Do you notice someone is missing? We left Adrie at home so we didn't have to deal with a diaper bag. We ran from ride to ride and had a blast! Justin and I felt ten years old. We all miss Adrie terribly! I am thankful she is with my mom. I have cried a few times thinking about her. I can't wait to bring her next time.


Cruela was a little sassy! Kennadie and Ellie liked her.


Alice was sweet and cute.

In this picture we were stuck on the Pirates of the Carribbean ride. Zack and Justin are smiling here, but we sat for about 25 minutes on the boat in the middle of the ride. It's a good thing I had a back pack full of snacks.

After the parade we went to Toon Town. Zack and Ellie are trapped in jail! Notice Ellie is praying for help to get out. Too cute.
