We went to Disneyland in February while harrison was off track. First time for everyone but me :) It was all in all a very fun vacation. I didn't do everything I wanted to but the kids had a great experience. I think (hope) it was magical for them. We got a good deal on tickets and stayed at a (relatively) cheap hotel nearby that had a little room (WITH A DOOR) that we put all the kids in (WITH BUNK BEDS!) which was fabulous. Every day we walked to the park with a big bike trailer/stroller we borrowed (again) from the Johnson's. It's big enough to fit lots of stuff and all three kids in the case that even Harrison got too tired. We spent three days at the park, usually opening til about three or four, and then back to the hotel for dinner, and back to the park for the parade or an amazing light/water show to celebrate the 60th anniversary. I was surprised at how much Jefferson got into it. He could really only do the rides that involve sitting in a car going through a thing, but he loved those, loved the characters, and LOVED "MICKA MOUSE!!!!" Harrison and Carter could mostly go on everything. I liked California Screamin the most which I went on with Harrison (first upside down roller coaster for him). We did some trading of kids to go on rides and what not but it worked well. And I got beignets. And dole whip. And a corn dog. Disneyland food is fun. Not sure if we're going to follow the Utah tradition of going every year (AT LEAST!!) but we'll be back for sure.
Ready to GO!!!!! (I stocked up on snacks at Costco which paid off BIG TIME)
THIS FACE! (I can't even)
I really don't like this picture of me, but whatever..WE'RE THERE!!!!! READY TO PARTY!!!!
Someone is excited

Waiting for the dumbo ride
TOON TOWN!!!!
We waited in line to meet "Micka Mouse!!" Harrison was excited. Carter freaked out and was not interested. Hence there are NO pictures with princesses...next time...
Ready for some Star Tours!!!!
this camping/adventure area in California Adventure was really fun with lots to climb and play on
OOOOO!!!!!
Harrison was a little nervous waiting to go up the HUGE mickey ferris wheel in California Adventure. We did not do the swinging cars. I guess lucky for me my kids are risk averse?? When Jefferson is old enough I somehow think things will be a bit different.
Carter in her Elsa dress outside Tarzan's tree house
Carter and mommy at Splash Mountain. She says she did NOT LIKE IT. but I think she really did :)
We let the big kids pick a toy at the end of the trip. We searched all over for this bubble wand for Carter which was amazing and loved by all until we got it home and it no longer worked (OF COURSE!!)
