A year ago, Shane and I decided to start saving for a family trip to Disneyland for Spring Break of 2011. We invited anyone from our families who could to join us, and we started saving. On Friday afternoon, March 18, after Landon got home from school of his last day before Spring Break, we loaded up the car and drove to Ashland for the beginning of our Disneyland trip. We arrived that evening, got a little sleep, and then left at 5:30 a.m. the next morning, with the hope that we would make it to our hotel for tip off of the BYU vs Gonzaga basketball game. My parents and Jake and Stacey’s family went with us, so they drove down to California with us. My parents drove with us in our van, and Jacob and Stacey drove their car. We hit some snow around Shasta, but luckily, we still made it to our hotel in Laguna Hills by the end of the first half of the BYU basketball game, and a great BYU game it was! It was a great start to our trip!
After the exciting game, we went and relaxed in the hot tub, and then after putting the kids to bed, enjoyed some delicious Pinkberry frozen yogurt that Stacey introduced us to.
Sunday:
Sunday morning, we went to church with Kim and Dave. After church, we headed back to our hotel to check out. The kids had fun pushing around each other on the luggage cart, then sitting there together eating pretzels. They sure are good buddies.
After checking out of our hotel, we headed over to Kim and Dave’s house, where they hosted us at their house for a delicious roast and potatoes Sunday dinner. They were so generous to let us in their home and provide such a great meal! We are excited that they are moving to Oregon in a few months so we will get to see them more often. After dinner, they took us down to the beach, and even though it was a little windy and cool, it was a fun walk.

Me and Kim!
Dave and Kim at the beach, and my mom with Kallie and Landon riding the nice elevator back up to the parking lot. Landon and Davis wanted to go on that “ride.” Who knew we didn’t need to even go to Disneyland – just go on the free elevator “ride” to get to and from the beach!
After our walk on the beach, we headed to another hotel in Anaheim to get ready for our first day at Disneyland!
