We surprised the kids with a trip to Disneyland. This was a first trip to all of us. We stayed at Disneyland's Paradise Pier Hotel, which included a waterslide. Our package also included an extra hour in the park before general admission each morning. This meant us getting up at 6 each morning. That was definitely the most difficult part, especially on the third day! It was definitely worth it, though; there were practically no lines for anything. We spent the first and third days in Disney's California Adventures and the second day in Disneyland.

Natalie was so tired at the end of day one, that she fell asleep at the dinner table.
I had to pick her up to keep her from falling out of her chair. |
