Disney Adventure

Camping
We had a good, but quick, camping adventure. Our first stop was in the Redwood forest in Northern California. We were all amazed at the size of these huge trees. We had a bit of a struggle putting up the tent we brought. It was so big and awkward, but we finally got it up. The kids had a good time, but were crazy. They of course did not want to go to sleep. The second night was more of the same. We were in such a hurry that we did not get to enjoy ourselves very much. We probably would not do that again if we went down. We would either take more time or just go straight through. We had forgot to bring something to heat the water for our hot chocolate. So you will see us using an empty soda can to heat it up. We didnt have any hot pad to pull it off so we used our campfire forks to pull it off, it was hilarious, but it worked well.

Disney pictures
We all had a blast at Disneyland. The biggest surprise of the trip was that Kaylee loved all of the big roller coasters. Her favorite ride was Space Mountain. I think she went on it five times. She even went on The Hollywood Tower of Terror. She will deny she liked it, but right after the ride she wouldnt stop saying how cool it was. Maybe she just wanted the cotton candy I promised her. Ethan wouldnt go to any of the characters except for the last day he went to Donald Duck. We all loved our trip so much. Caleb's favorite was probably the rockets and the play house disney show. He loved the characters and the train ride. It was too much to condense into a short paragraph so just enjoy the pictures. Oh, and the girls loved the princess lunch.

Dinner medieval style
This was the dinner that we all wanted to do since we were young. It was pretty good but way over priced. Kaylee got a flower thrown to her from the blue knight. Down Down Down red knight's going down!

LAst but not least our Anniversary Dinner at the Grand California Hotel. The best I've been to yet:)

How fun. I want to go to Disneyland so bad. We're going to try to go when we go down for Jennifer's wedding.
