We started our summer off right and took the kids to Disneyland!! Jeff had a conference at the Disneyland Hotel so we simply could not pass it up. We drove to UT and saw family there first and then stopped in St. George and stayed with our good friends the Peterson's. They knew after the long drive the kids would want to run around so we went to a fun splash park and walked around the temple grounds.
We finally made it to CA and let me just say if you ever have the chance to stay at the Disneyland hotel you better do it! It is AMAZING! The excitement starts the moment you step out of the car and I have to admit if we ever make it back I might not be able to stay any where else!
Before we left Aunt Laura challenged the boys to get a picture with Goofy and then he happened to be the first character we saw!!
The first stop after a long car ride? THE POOL! Our kids always love swimming but this was over the top. The boys had so much fun on the water slides while the girls tended to stay in the hot tubs!
Our first night there happen to be my birthday so we spent the evening walking around Downtown Disney. We enjoyed a delicious dinner at out new favorite place, Tortilla Jo's!
Who needs cake when you can have a Mickey Mouse carmel apple?
Our favorite part of the hotel was the magical stars and firework lights we turned on each night before bed. It played 'When You Wish Upon A Star' as the kids fell asleep. They also enjoyed each night, even the boys, a good night story on the TV from a Princess! Our first night there was almost like Christmas eve the kids could hardly hold still long enough to fall asleep. Our adventures have only just begun!

It looks like you guys had so much fun! What a party!!! I still can't believe that Goofy was the first character you saw....
I want that lighted wall!
Oh my gosh looks like so much fun! The Disneyland Hotel is the only one we haven't stayed in... Paradise Pier is cool enough and the Grand Californian is over the top awesome! We will have to try this one next time, and I'm with you once you've stayed on Disney property nothing else compares!
What a FUN trip! So glad you got to go! We are going to make it there one day...
Woohoo! SO happy that you guys were able to go and that you had such a perfect trip! It looks like it couldn't have been any better. You're making me want to go back so bad! :)
