The Happiest Place on Earth!

So this past week we went to Disneyland with my parents and my Brother and his wife and my sister; all on Mom and Dad Spencer! The girls were so excited and they counted down the days for months. It took forever to get here and it went by too fast. Isn't that how it always is?

We left on Tuesday and flew to LAX and then it was on to Anaheim to our hotel. This was the first time either of the girls had ever flown and so we gave them gum to chew to help their ears. And I don't know what Maycee thought that we told her about chewing the gum but come to find out on the way home she asked if she needed the gum so her ears wouldn't stick to the plane! Classic I tell ya!

The whole week was really fun and Emma is quite the roller coaster queen! If any of you have been to Anaheim lately there is a coaster in California Adventure called California Screamin' and Emma LOVED it! She thought it was the coolest thing ever. She wanted to go on the Mali Boomer but she was too short(it was the one that shoots you up 1000 feet in the air in like no seconds flat!) But she rode every other one that she could in both California Adventure and Disneyland. In fact the very first ride she ever went on was Space Mountain in Disneyland, and she was hooked. It was so fun for her; and us to watch her, she had the most fun out of all of us I think! Maycee was a little more timid about the rides but by the second day she was having fun too. I think her favorite one was a toss up between Dumbo at Disneyland and the jumping jellyfish at California Adventure. All they wanted to know when we got home last night was when they could go back!

We all went to a Princess lunch in California Adventure the first day we were there and Maycee was just completely enthralled with it! I hadn't ever payed that much attention to her reality/fantasy development until this past week and she is still in the phase where everything is real, and so a lot of the rides really freaked her out. But she loved seeing all the characters and getting their autographs, it was her movie stars in real life! The girls also got to get Princess makeovers done at this shop in Downtown Disney called Club Libby Lu. And they were so gorgeous! They loved every minute of it. Their hair was all fancy and they got glitter put all over them and lotions and make-up, every girls dream!

All-in-all, it was a wonderful vacation and we are so greatful to Mom and Dad Spencer for their generosity in taking us all on this great vacation!

Hi! I found your blog! Looks like you guys had a fun time in L.A. Make sure if you decide to go to S.F. to stop by in Tracy, CA to visit Vic and I. (She's moving here this month!)

California is just the place to have a good time!!! What a fun thing to do as a family. You are lucky your girls are little dare devils, Porter has to be coaxed to ride a rollercoaster and is still hesitant! I saw a quote in a bank here in Lehi that said "Taking a family Vacation to get away from stress, is like running down the tracks to get away from the train!" Sounds like you guys had a good time anyway! Thanks for sharing!
