Disney Pictures Overload! Part One

We had a blast on our huge family vacay. We had all of our family including Andrea, Rex's mom, my dad and Tony. It was awesome. Herr are pictures from our first two days traveling and at Disneyland.

Boise Adventure!

 OUr adventure started with me driving to Boise with the boys.. all by myself. If you know me well, you know how much I am scared of driving on the freeway. I am a big chicken and I was really really scared to drive to Boise, but I did it! We went to the zoo Monday afternoon and the boys loved it! We got to pet a llama and a skunk!

 Day two we took it easy and found a park near by and just hung around. 

That night we went to Cracker Barrel for dinner, and Joe ended up with food poisoning. Thankfully it wasn't that bad but it was a looonnnggg night. 

 Wednesday we went to the Discovery Center, which is a hands on science museum. We stayed for about 3 hours! Needless to say we had fun! 

 Thursday was our last day and the boys really wanted to go to the zoo again. So off we went! It was a lot busier, as there was a BSU vs BYU game that evening. 30,000 + people in Boise ='s very crowded!! 

 This is a red panda, the boys' favorite! 

I drove back all by myself too! I have now conquered my fear of the freeway! 

PS- Rex's job is amazing. He has a fancy iPhone, new laptop, tools, and in the next couple weeks a company car. It has all come full circle. We have waited for a long time to have a Monday through Friday 8-5pm job. It is a very big blessing for our family.

California Vacation 2012

 It all started with a long drive. We hit all kinds of weather and driving conditions.

 

First there was wind, and then we hit Vegas and the traffic started. Apparently all of L.A. travels to Vegas on the weekends, and then travel back all at the same time, creating 20 MPH traffic for over 100 miles. 

 

  

 A blurry picture, but you can see the miles of traffic. 

 

We finally made it to Disneyland in one piece! First thing, we toured the castle. 

 

 This is all of our feet surrounding the golden spike at Disneyland. This marks the geographical center of the park. 

 We met up with Woody. 

 Hit the Haunted Mansion ride, one of my favorites! 

 The Jungle Cruise which is a must see!
