Hello Mickey and Friends


Mickey's biggest fans. Where's Avery you ask...she was afraid of the famous mouse!

We planned to split up the long plane ride from Omaha to Hawaii by stopping over in L.A for the weekend. The kids have been to Disneyland many times, however, Avery was to young to remember her past visits. So, the perfect plan was created...let's take the kids back to Disneyland on our layover. Grandma and Grandpa decided to join us, along with Darren, Shelly and Kaylee. As luck would have it Dax, Breya and Livi also had a special pass to Disneyland this weekend as well. How's that for the "all- time" jam packed weekend...friends and family galore! That's what the "happiest place on earth" is all about, right? We loved it all, and are so thankful to each and everyone for making the effort. The family all crashed at Grandma's Fullerton home, staying up late nights visiting with one another, while the children laughed and played together. While it can be hard to coordinate with everyone, 13 people to be exact, I think we managed well, and celebrated being together. We don't get to see Darren, Shelley and Kaylee very often so we truly appreciated our time. Thanks to Dianne and Newell for making it happen. We have such special memories of our weekend in L.A.

What a happy little girl, eager to enter the Magic Kingdom! Only a few more moments to wait...

Our first ride of the day. I think the teacups are a favorite because they are painted so cute. Everyone loves them...part of the fun is picking the perfect teacup. Shelley, Avery, Kaylee & Z
Even though we brought a stroller for Zach, Jeff spent the better part of the day giving Zach a piggyback.
Sure enough, I took my turn and carried the Z man.

Yep, even grandpa in a wheel chair took Zach for a ride. I'd like to think we were all protecting him from getting overly tired in fear of a seizure...but, it looks like this kid is spoiled!!Lol

Ariel is Avery's favorite princess. Thankfully, we found her waiting for our visit in "Ariel's Grotto"
Such "cutie patootie" cousins. Avery and Kaylee together on the carosel.

Believe it or not, I have more pic's from our Cali visit. Stayed tuned for more tomorrow night.
