Disneyland 2012

 

We had a wonderful time at Disneyland and the California Adventure Parks. David and I were staying at the Disneyland Hotel for his clients meetings and the kids came down to join us after the meetings were over.

 

The first day they were there we visited the beach, Grandpa, Grace and Addie made a huge sand castle, Reed had swim in the ocean and the rest of us played in the waves. We did not have our swimming suits on since it was Sunday, but it was a beautiful day at the Huntington Beach.

 

The next 2 days were full of rides and fun at Disneyland. It was hot, so it was nice to be able to go back to the hotel and let Grace have a nap and swim in the middle of the day.

 

Our hotel room was on the side of the hotel with a deck we could sit on outside. It was the perfect place to watch the fire works each night, we could turn on the music and hear the music that went along with the show.

 

 

Addie loved everything, well, except for the Monsters Inc. and Ariels ride, but she loved the rest. She met the Princesses and had a wonderful time at It's a Small World.

 

Grace is happy and had fun, but not quite as much as Addie. Next time she goes she will enjoy it much more.

 

We have had a fun and busy summer, now it is time to get ready for the fall, school and winter ( not too soon I hope).

Bye for now

We have been on a couple of fun trips in the last 2 weeks. Our first trip was to Sun Valley for the Utah State Bar Convention. David had to talk a couple of classes while we were there, but the rest of us were able to enjoy the beautiful area and relax together.

Katie, Addie and Grace drove up with us, and Reed came up later, so it was David and the girls. We stayed at a smaller condo for the first 3 nights and Sarah got to sleep on the floor. She is a good sport to have a bad back and to be jumped upon in the morning to wake up.

The last 3 nights we were able to rent a house that was wonderful. Well, the outside was wonderful. We had a beautiful pool all to ourselves, along with a hot tub and 6 bedrooms/bathrooms. The house was alittle old inside, but it we had a great time anyway. Here are the pictures from that trip.
