We left the kids in Utah on Sunday for Grandma and Grandpa to take to EFY on Monday morning and Trav and I headed off for a kid-free week. We started off by heading to Disneyland. It was a beautiful drive!
Unfortunately, just before Las Vegas there was a fatal car accident. We got stopped in the traffic about 20 cars back as emergency crews arrived helicopters landed to take away the injured for about and hour. It was 105 degrees outside and traffic was backed up for miles and miles. It was a very sobering part of the trip.
We arrived at the Grand Californian hotel that night about 10:00 pm California time. We got a quick bite to eat and headed to bed. The next morning, we got up and headed to California Adventure. Our first ride was Toy Story!
We had a fun-filled day riding Cars,
watching the sneak peak of "Pete's Dragon,"
texting with our EFY kids, (Calissa's cute roommate Emma Lambert who's a cousin of Calissa's friend), emailing Parker at lunch time,
watching Frozen, the musical,
going on It's a Small World,
and watching the parade
and fireworks! It was a fun-filled day!
The next morning we went to Disneyland early and enjoyed going on rides there.
They were having their 60th Anniversary this year!
My favorite ride, Big Thunder Railroad! I wanted to go on it again and again! :)
Another favorite, the Jungle Cruise!
What a fun, relaxing, and awesome two days at Disneyland!
Wednesday, we were planning on going to Magic Mountain for the day and heading home. Instead, we ended up at Dodger Stadium for a day game.
The Dodgers lost, but we had a fun time cheering them on!
Sorry Conner! (He was a little jealous!)
That night, we drove home and enjoyed a couple of days until the kids got home. I worked CHS registration on Thursday for several hours and we discovered what it'll be like when our kids are gone in four years! Yikes!! Time goes by so fast!
PS - Don't feel too bad for the kids, they had a great time at EFY!
