Disneyland!

We were all excited to sunny California! Mickey Mouse! Disneyland! California Adventure! Roller coasters!
In the airport waiting....

One of our favorite families from dance was on the same flight with us. It made it nice so that the girls had other kids to play with while we waited. The parents work at the airport (one is a fire fighter...the other a 911 operator) so they pulled some strings and found out what seat Kaiya was sitting in so that Tatum could sit next to her.


Jett's very first plane ride! He did great!!! Slept most the way.










Kaiya got a Bop magazine for her trip. Her first ever. She was so excited. Reminded me of when I was growing up...


We rode in a smaller airplane since we flew into Long Beach Airport. I was pretty nervous about that but once we were on the plane it wasn't bad at all. Once we got to Long Beach I was shocked...COMPLETELY shocked about how small that airport is!! I had heard people talk about it but I never expected what I saw. It reminded me of a couple portables put together to make an airport. There were only 3 (I think?) doors in this little 'portable' where the planes came up to. There was a teeny tiny store (dont know if I can even call it that) and a little place where you could buy pastries or drinks. There was also a little bar. I wish I would have taken a picture of this place. When we got there we walked off the plane, down the stairs and across the tarmac. The baggage claim area was outside.

We grabbed our bags while Cirdan went and picked up our rental car. Kaylee had flown in a couple hours earlier so she came over to meet up with us. It was so hot there! We loved the nice warm weather.

Cirdan brought the car around and we loaded it up and headed to grab a bite to eat. We ate at a place near the Disneyland Hotel were we were staying. We were all ready for a fun week ahead so we rested for a few minutes, read our Disneyland information from the hotel and headed to Walmart to grab some food for the week.






When we got back we had just enough time to go to the pool. The kids had a lot of fun!! Jett LOVED the water. He loved to splash and kick his feet.












Justin (a kid from dance) tried to photo bomb the picture.






We went to bed excited for the next days adventures!
