My Disneyland Adventure

Just in case you have been living in a cave somewhere and didn't know, I LOVE DISNEYLAND! My brother Jeremy, his wife Liz, my nephew Eli, my brother Nathan, and I had a wonderful trip to California from June 11-June 19. We left around noon Thursday and drove to St. George where we ate a delicious meal at Pancho and Lefty's (this is a must stop in St. George) and went hiking on Dixie Hill. I tried climbing up a small crevice between two boulders until I heard a bat screech at me. I then high-tailed it out of there! The next day we drove to California, set up camp (camping in the middle of downtown Anaheim was so fun!), and headed over to Disneyland where we spent a few hours riding some of our favorite rides and watching the fireworks. The next day we spent at the
beach. I tried to work on my tan, but just burned one shoulder that is now back to being extremely white! Eli loved playing in the sand!
















We spent the next four days having a blast in Disneyland and California Adventure. My friends from college, Anna and Alvin, and their two little girls, Amelia and Emma, came and joined us for a few days, so it was one big party! Here are just a few samples of the fun we had:








We started driving home on Thursday morning, but got caught in a huge traffic jam. It took us two hours to go 15 miles! (By the way, do not chug Dr. Pepper while stuck in a traffic jam - I came so close to peeing my pants!) We were wasted by the time we got to Cedar City, so we got a hotel and drove home the next morning. I have a ton more fun photos, so I will continue to post things from my wonderful Disneyland Adventure!
