DISNEYLAND

We decided to take a vacation, before Steve opens his office, and take the kids to Disneyland. Walker was 2 the last time we went. My brother Jeremy and his family live in San Diego so they met us there. My mom and my little sister Janessa flew in from Utah to join us too. We made all our plans, then we heard it was suppose to rain while we were there, but we had already bought all our tickets so we decided to go anyway. It rained (poured) on us the entire week we were in California. We heard it was some of the worst storms they have had in a long time, even a tornado nearby from what we hear. We were soaking wet the whole time, but because of the rain there weren't any crowds there. We were able to walk right onto rides. Now how often does that happen at Disneyland? We had a blast anyway and will remember this fabulous vacation FOREVER!!

Here we are in front of Disneyland on day 1.

The start of day 1, geared up for the rain, or so we thought. It had started raining, but the downpour hadn't come yet. This is the tram ride from the parking lot to the gate.

Because it was raining so hard we decided to start the day at the Aladdin musical. I loved this show so much, they could have made it longer and we all would have been happy (especially because we could have stayed indoors a little bit longer).

Finally after lunch the clouds parted and the sun came out. This is our first real ride of the day.

Reagan, Carter, Jack, Walker, Janessa, and Jaron with Dale (I think?)

When Janessa worked at DisneyWorld Dale was one of the characters that she did.

Walker, Carter, Jaron, Janessa, Reagan, and Kate with Aladdin. Aladdin was lucky enough to have his spot covered so we were dry for a few minutes.
