At 4:00 on a Friday evening (March 12), we were at the park swinging on the swings with no
preconcieved ideas of what to do for dinner or anything else that evening. Within 1 hour, Peter came home, we grabbed the backpack and stroller and were headed for Disneyland... isn't that great?! I love
spontenaity... even if it does involve a demanding van full of children.
We had a fun night together riding a few rides (it was pretty darn crowded), eating yummy corn dogs for dinner, watching the beautiful fireworks display and finally getting to ride some of the big-kid rides with Daddy. Claire has been super-anxious to ride the Matterhorn with Peter, and just as Disney seems to promise... dreams really do come true.
Here are the
highlights of our spontaneous family outing:
-Spencer screaming on Pirates of the
Caribbean (out of fear, not joy)
-Spencer just wanting to run through the crowds of people
-Claire playing 20 questions with me while Peter and
Dallin rode Thunder Mountain
-
Dallin being the best big brother helper
-the boys running up and down a brick ramp and having a blast (why did we drive to Disneyland?)
-Peter making fun of my Disney knowledge
-watching the fireworks
-walking all the way back to the parking garage to avoid the tram lines at midnight
-getting home at 1:30 in the morning... we are still recovering.
Hooray for spontaneity and hooray for precious family time!

I love Disneyland. we went this past October. We did the whole experience: stayed at the Disneyland Hotel, had breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen, ate at Downtown Disney, in addition to all the rides and shows. We could not get enough. I'm glad you guys had a good time. Maybe next time we are in CA, we can go together...
So lucky. :)
you guys are such cool parents.
These pictures and comments prove, once again, why this is called "The Happiest Place On Earth"
