DISNEYLAND

I am finally getting around to blogging about our recent California vacation, and boy was it fun! We went with my family as kind of the last hoorah before my brother leaves on his mission. It was great spending time as a family!

The first day was crazy. We all got up at 3am and our plane left at 6am. As soon as we landed, we went straight to the park. And if you're wondering if Hadley slept on the airplane, she did not. THANK GOODNESS the seat between my mom and dad was empty, so Hadley sat there and it was so nice. She's super independent and loves her space. Once we landed, we went to get our rental van, yes a huge van that fit all 9 of us, and then straight to the park! It was soooo fun taking Haddy for the first time. SHE WAS IN HEAVEN. (and also a zombie the first day). She didnt nap once. hahaha thats my kid for ya. Party girl! She could go on almost every ride and thats all I wanted to do. I didnt care to go on the other rides with out her. Except for Splash Mountain, thats so fun. Haddy loved Its a Small World (of course) and wasn't even scared to go on Pirates! But I think the high light of her whole day was the giant balloon we got her during the parade.

The next day we went to California Adventure (which is my favorite). Hadley was a lot more into it because she was fully awake and had so much energy. Plus all her favorite movies are there; Little Mermaid and Monsters Inc. She about died watching the parade there. She was dancing and waving. It was the cutest thing.

Then the next day we went to Universal Studios which was way fun! We've never been to the one in California before! Harry Potter World is incredible. And don't even get me started on Butter Beer. It's making my mouth water as we speak. sooooo good! It was so nice. The weather was perfect and wasn't crowded at all. My favorite part of the park was the Tour we went on! It showed you the coolest things like places movies are made (Jaws, King Kong, The Grinch, Desperate Housewives, ect) and a lot of other places. May sound boring, but trust me.. its a MUST. Wayyyy cooler than I was expecting it to be. It's also a ride, so they do some really cool things and show you special effects. Its amazing. Go do it.

Then the rest of the trip we spent it in a resort on Newport Beach. That was really nice. We all got caught up on our sleep and just relaxed by the pool a lot. We played cards every night and my dad taught us this game called Hearts. but don't even get me started. It should of been called "The game that makes you yell at everyone" hahahaha. We all were dying laughing so hard because it was the most frustrating game.

Funnest trip. I could go on and on and on about it but I have a feeling you'll get bored. So here are some pictures. xoxo
