Disneyland May 3- 6, 2008



We had so much fun surprising the kids with a quick getaway to Disneyland! Cam & I woke them up very, very early that Saturday morning & told them to hurry & pack a bag or we'd miss our flight to Disneyland. You know how Cam loves to tease & fib so it's no wonder that our kids didn't believe him at first! Then when they realized that he was telling the truth, their excitement grew!! I can honestly say that although it was only 3 days, we really made the most of it! Up early & down late! We were exhausted at the end of each day & it wasn't that rare that Sadie would even fall asleep while we were still there! Cam, Drew, & Colby ran away for a few hours to Knotts Berry Farm to ride the "big boy rides" that rip yer lips off yer face! The girls & I used that time to visit the princess rides & all those other rides that the boys fancied themselves way too cool for!! It really was such a fun trip! Not only were we in a really cool place (The kid in me truly loves Disneyland!), but it was so awesome to leave all the work, school, & other distractions behind for a minute so we could just focus on being together! I think we sometimes overlook each other in our mad dashes in our lives! I don't ever wanna take my family for granted & I love that my children still want to spend together as a family! Let's hope they always do!! Can't think of a better way to spend my 32nd birthday!!
