Happiest Place On Earth!

We wanted to take one last vacation before our new addition arrives in January. We spent last week in California enjoying Disneyland and Legoland. This year is " Year of a million dreams" at disneyland. Well we got lucky and were choosen for one of the dreams. We got to stay in the park for an hour after closing. We managed to fit in eight rides in our time, it is amazing what you can do when there are not any lines.
Lexi loved the Princesses. She also suprised us with her love of roller coasters. On Splash Mountain she had her arms up during the free fall just like her dad and brother.
Peyton was so excited to be choosen for Jedi Training especially since he plans to be Obi Wan for Halloween. He was so proud when he defeated Darth Vader.
Buzz Light Year and the New Toy Story Ride were a family favorite. Peyton likes anything where they keep score.
The parades were a lot of fun but the best part was watching Lexi dance to the music and getting so excited anytime a princess came by.
We went to Legoland for the first time ever and had a great time. The atmosphere doesn't quite compare to Disneyland but it was a fun change.
The kids enjoyed playing in the water park. The weather was nice and warm. It was kind of depressing returning to the cold and snow in Utah but the kids were excited for the new snow.
Peyton snuck into the big kids driving course at Legoland. He was a very cautious driver like his mom and obeyed all traffic signs unlike his dad.

What a fun vacation. Ava will be a little jealous that Lexi is standing by Cinderella, that is what she is going to be for Halloween. Congrats on baby #3!! You and I have similar spacing =0) Whether that is because of sanity or the Lord's choosing! Happy Halloween.

T-bone wants Payton to know that he is but a young padawan. When Payton is ready T is willing to show him the ways of the Jedi (and the way to up on stage twice in one visit!). We are so jealous. We will just have to live vicariously through your vacations. Dad called, we chatted about the next fam vacation. He said DC but I told him there is nothing but DL as an option! Your pics just make me miss it more. Love you guys. Look forward to the Halloween Party.
