Spontaneous

Well in case you didn't know Paul has a new position working for a company that owns 70 subways. He is now senior operations/area manager, 10 being in St. George. This has required him to be in St. George for the last 2 1/2 weeks and I'm sure a lot more in the coming months. So we decided to drive down and join him for the weekend. It was such nice weather and the kids were thrilled to be able to get outside, ride bikes, and go to the park. Friday morning Paul woke up with a great idea... A spontaneous trip to Disneyland! We were all so excited and drove to California that afternoon, stayed in a hotel and went to Disneyland the next day! One of our favorite characters was Tinkerbelle. She was so nice and sat and chatted with Melia for probably 5 minutes. She was super cute! Cooper loved going on the Buzz Ride and the Rocket ride but we didn't get any pics:( He saw Buzz Lightyear running by but we weren't able to catch him!
Melia and I went on the teacups, I guess spinning round and round isn't Daddy's or Coopers "cup of tea" haha yea I know I'm hilarious...
Meeting all the Alice Characters was also a highlight since Melia loves Alice. The kids got to pick out a face paint, Melia did a fairy and Cooper of course chose a rocket as his obsession of rockets still continues.
At toon town we saw Goofy and played in his house, Paul took a rest on his pumpkin. And Of course we saw Mickey! Melia almost tackled him over when she hugged him so tight.
Here we are in the jungle! Exploring on the jungle ride and in Tarzan's Treehouse. cooper was a little worried about the piranas!
The one thing we just had to do was find Rapunzel! We waited in an hour long line to see her but it made Melia's day! She was so excited to meet her! We also went to the fantasy fair where she was able to dance by Cinderlla and hear a story from Sleeping Beauty.



Our kids were all smiles all day! I guess Disneyland really is the happiest place on earth!!!!!!!

How cool is that? That's so fun that you got to go and I'm sure the kiddos were in heaven! Good luck with all your husband-less time in the future! You're lucky to have so much family close by.

The wreaths were easy to make but did take a little bit of time ( You know how it is only having 10 minutes here and there with two little ones :). I just hot glued them together.
