Disneyland Feb 2011

We spent a week at Disneyland with Nate and Beth’s family and had a wonderful time. Here is a brief sketch of events:

We left Sunday and stayed in Saint George. We went on a hike up Snow Canyon where Spencer asked why Jesus made pointed rocks that hurt people? Any thoughts on helping Beth answer the deep questions of why people must suffer pointy rocks on their feet? Later in the trip Spencer was also concerned about "why we pray so much"? This is a good question, particularly when we're busy trying to fit in all the Disneyland rides. Lauryn was feeling sick, so Mom and Dad got little sleep.

The first day at Disneyland we went on the submarine ride, the Matterhorn, Buzz Light year, the motocross and other exciting rides. We played games of Uno at the Motel and swam in their pool.











The next day we went to California Adventure. We particularly enjoyed Soaring over California, Toy Story Midway mania (where you shot at targets while going through different Disney scenes), bugs life boogey, and other great rides. We stayed for Disneys Wonderful World of Color which was quite a spectacular show. Unfortunately, Lauryn continued to be sick. Nate and Beth made an unintended trip to the hospital but fortunately she was alright.





The next day we went back to Disneyland and rode on Indiana Jones, went over to Bugs Life and rode the boogey ride as well as California Soaring. We went to Toy Story Midway Mania where Nate and Beth fought it out for the most points scored. By the way, on one ride Beth had the most points while at the same time holding Lauryn. We went to a sit down restaurant that night at Mimis. The funniest event of all was walking out of Disneyland that night with Preston crying out, “I never ever ever want to go to Disneyland again because I am too tired, tired, tired. Thus ended Disneyland ( forever, forever, forever??).

The next day we went to Laguna Beach. We made sandcastles, saw hermit crabs and a big crab sunning himself and pelicans. Lauryn loved the beach. That night we watched Spencer do flips into the pool. It was awesome. Unfortunately the boys were sick that night, while Lauryn got better.







The next day we drove home. It was a great trip.
