Spring Break 2010

Ok, I know it has been a while since spring break but I just haven't been able to make the time to post about it. I've started before but the pics take so long to upload I gave up! So now here it is:


We went to DISNEYLAND!!

Smile for the camera!

I said smile for the camera!!

Here are the kids in front of Cinderella's castle.
Yes, those are coats at Disneyland!

And here we are in front of the C A L I F OR N I A.

We spent alot of time standing in line.

We had a lot more luck this time around catching the Disney Characters.
Here they are with Minnie:

The Brother Bears:

And here is the whole crew with Woody:

The kids had fun chasing each other around in the bumper cars.

Bryce may have had a little bit TOO much fun!

The kids in Mickey's House:

The Teacups:

Driving their own cars!

And here's Megan having too much fun:

Here is one of our Splash Mountain pics. The kids loved all the big scary rides. By the 5th day there we even got Megan on the California Screamin' which is the biggest roller coaster there.

The Grizzly River Run

There is a sign posted that says,
"Warning, you WILL get wet; you MAY get soaked."

So Megan rode the biggest rollercoaster but there is one bigger, scarier ride that some of us would never even consider getting on. The MALIBOOMER. It shoots you 180 feet straight up in 4 seconds. Thanks but no thanks I say. Jordan on the other hand thought it looked like a good time which was good news to Ben because that gave him a riding buddy.


And they're off. I was just glad that Jordan didn't vomit. He said he loved it though.

What would a Disneyland trip be without an amazing fireworks show right? They did not disappoint and there we times when the night was as bright as the day!

After we had spent our 6 days and packed up all of our things we headed out to Newport Beach. We spent literally 10 mins there, but hey, we were there right.

Then we spent 2 days in Vegas hanging out with 2 of Ben's brothers and their families.

Megan had a slight run in with a wire supporting a tree but she was a trooper and we were just glad it wasn't worse!

I had to include this pic of what the boredom of driving led Miss Meg to. I thought it was pretty creative and after the other two saw it it kept them occupied for about 2 hours trying to see what else they could spell.

We had so much fun and would love to go again. It was so fun to go with Bryce & Mindi's family and Meloni and Peyton. We would love to get everyone together next time!
