D*I*S*N*E*Y*L*A*N*D!!

We went to Disneyland for Fall Break (except for Casey who had her nose to the grindstone with school and work) and had a marvelous time! Kevin drove down with the girls on Monday after school. I flew in to meet them late Wed. night after school was over. (Casey was a good sport and drove me to the airport despite being disappointed that we went without her!) Earlier in the week it was a bit cool with a mist of rain sometimes, but toward the end of the week, it was HOT! It was a bit crowded at times but not too bad and we got to see everyone else from Utah that was there, including my brother Jeff with his two kids!
We went back later than planned so that Court and Kevin could drive down to the BYU-San Diego football game.

Abby had a rash all over her body the whole time we were there. It was gone when we got home. Our only conclusion is that she is allergic either to Disneyland or the chocolate ice cream Mickey ears! By the way, we were really proud of Abby for being courageous and trying all the rides. She used to be fearful of everything but the absolute mildest rides and this time she really broadened her horizons!

Here is a list of everyone's favorite ride(s):

Abby- Indiana Jones and Tower of Terror
Fav. memory- going on all the rides even though I was scared. They were fun except for California Screamin'.


Kevin- Soarin' over California
Fav. Memory-Going to the football game and watching all the weird people and Abby going on all the rides.


Ashley-California Screamin'
Fav. memory: Looking at the faces of the people who had their pictures taken on the rides.


Courtney- alltime favorite is Splash Mountain. However a close second is Toy Story
Fav. memory- Being there with Abby and the fact that she went on all the rides!


Amy- Toy Story and Soarin' over California
Fav. memory- Dole Pineapple Whip and almost beating Kevin in the Toy Story ride!


Now for a few pictures to document our trip.....

My favorite: Kevin's red carpet pose in front of the gate. What's with the hand on the hip, fella?

Ah! Looks like fun. And I'm glad they didn't go and close Pirates on you like they did to us! Oh well, all my other favorite rides were open. Tower of Terror is definitely inching toward the top. Funny that Jeff was there too and that you ran into him. Great pictures!
