The 2nd week of December we to a 10 day vacation to Vegas and Disneyland. We left on Wednesday night. We were almost out of town and the check engine light came on in the car. So, we turned around and went back home and took switched everything to the truck. We ended up getting out of here about 8 pm that night. We drove to Mesquite and got back to bed 2 am Pacific time. It was nice to get most of the drive over with while the kids were all asleep. We spent Thursday and Friday in Las Vegas. The NFR was there so we went to the Cowboy Christmas' and did some shopping. That is just as fun as going to the rodeo. We decided not to get tickets to the NFR this year because I didn't want to pay that much for my kids to go, they just aren't old enough to appreciate it yet.
Saturday morning we got up and drove to California. We went to the horseraces that night at Los Alamitos and watch the Champion of Champion races. It was fun to be there for the upset. Shaun won enough money on that 1 race to pay for to whole night, tickets, dinner, and betting, we broke even for the day.
We went to Disneyland Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. I don't know who had more fun me or the kids. We haven't been to Disneyland since our honeymoon 9 years ago. The kids were great. Shaun's parents came latter Sunday, they stayed in Vegas one more night for the last night of NFR. I hope they had fun and we didn't run them to death. We didn't take breaks at all. They're favorite part was seeing all the characters and the Pixar parade. We went and watched it everynight. Shaun loved the parad just as much as the kids did. My favorite ride is now the California Screamin rollercoaster. The longest we had to wait in any ride was 20 minutes, loved that. The kids' favorite ride was Peter Pan. We are deffinantly ready to go back. But first we are saving for a Disney cruise to the Mexican Riveria. I can't wait!
Below are just some of the pictures I took of our vacation.
This was all Shelby's idea. We were sitting there eating and she turns around and says mom look at me! So I had to get a picture.
The first morning after Disneyland.
This is my all time favorite picture of Preston
Preston refused to get in the picture with the Fairies, he just stood over to the side looking mischevious
Our last picture as we were heading out of California Adventure. Preston was asleep. We had so much fun!
Preston loved the Astronaut helmet. He did not want to take it off. We had a hard time getting him to leave it there. Good thing around the corner there was more fun stuff to play with to take his mind off of it.
Shelby making mom some soup to eat.
I think this is the only time I got him to stay still for a picture.
