California Trip

We recently took a trip to California. Logan earned us this trip by scoring 5 goals in his soccer games. We drove down on October 13, and on the 14th we went to Disneyland. Our family, plus Tami, Maddison and Kati. We had a great time. We started out in California Disney, but by the time we made it to the other side we decided Kevin needed a wheel chair. Our entire trip had almost been cancelled because Kevin had hurt his knee a couple of weeks earlier. Out of his love for me and not wanting to disappoint the kids, he pushed back his surgery a month so we could take this vacation.
The wheel chair was nice, because it got us to the front of a lot of the lines.






Buzz Lightyear was Isaac's favorite ride. He called it the "shoot the bad guys ride" At the end of day we were getting ready to leave and for 40 min he kept saying "me want shoot bad guys again" So we gave in and it was the last ride of the evening.


When we were getting Haley ready for Disneyland I told her to go put on the orange tank top with skirt. She told me that she didn't want to because wearing tank tops is bad. I asked her where she had heard that and she said school. It's against the school dress code. So I told her to just go look at it and if she didn't want to wear it that was fine I would get her something else. A few minutes later she came out wearing it and Kevin said she decided to wear it because it was cute.

Disneyland was all decorated for Halloween.












On the tram ride home at the end of the day. The kids were so tired. By the end of the ride to our car, Logan had fallen asleep also.


Haley and Maddison rode every ride together. Here on Pirates they sat in the last row all by themselves.





We got to see Captain EO which Disney brought back. This was always a favorite of mine as a kid. The kids loved it. When we were watching it, Michael Jackson started talking and Haley asks "Captain EO is a girl?"
