Disneyland 2008

Earlier this month we took the family to California on vacation. We were lucky to have Grandpa and Grandma Butler be part of the experience. It was an exciting trip that we thought would never get here. We booked the vacation earlier this year and somehow word got out to the girls months in advance that we were going, so every day when Gracie would wake up she would say "Are we going to Disneyland today?" As our departure date got closer Jen put a countdown calendar on our fridge made out Mickey Mouse ears that said...."Were going to Disneyland" Each day the girls got to take a letter off until we departed on our trip. Unfortunately, little Gracie was really sick the first few days were were there, but got better mid week. The girls had a great time in Toon Town and loved anything that had Princesses involved. Addy's favorite ride was Alice in Wonderland. Gracie loved the tea cups. (As you can see in the pictures we all enjoyed them) Addy was so glad that she finally got to meet Jasmine and get here autograph. She is hands down her favorite princess. Gracie loved it when she was able to talk to Cinderella and have her sign her autograph book at the Princess Fantasyfaire. Faith was awarded the "Best Traveler" award. She did not make a peep the entire trip. I think she was not trying to draw any attention to herself as she was not to sure about the characters walking around. Grandpa and Grandma were troopers as well! We shut down the parks every night and enjoyed having them experience Disneyland with our girls. Grandpa and Grandma went on every ride. Grandma especially liked the California Screamin Roller Coaster and the Tower of Terror! Thanks Grandpa and Grandma for making memories with us! We look forward to the next trip. It was fun to have the girls experience their first Airplane flight, Disneyland, Sea World and the beautiful Ocean, but most of all it was great to be together as a family!
