Spring Break 2010

Our official Spring Break plan was to visit family in Portland. Our real, top secret Spring Break plan was to leave our dog, Mabel, at Nana and Papa's house in Portland, then take the kids to Disneyland for the week! The kids could not have been more surprised when we finally clued them in!
And we love to surprise :)

Here are a few of the highlights in pictures...


Even our teens decided they weren't too cool for pics with their favorite characters!





And we all loved the rides! Shockingly, Amber decided this trip that she LOVES scary rides!
Jacob, on the other hand, preferred the carousel.



The play areas were also a big hit.





And we got randomly chosen for VIP seating at a parade!



Such a fun week together as a family! We managed to get through it all with a minimum of tantrums, blisters, tears and arguments - quite a feat considering our non-stop pace for the entire week.
WE LOVE DISNEYLAND!

HOW BEAUTIFUL and SKINNY and YOUNG can one 40-year-old look??? You look exactly the same as your teenagers! Crazy. You also look happy which is a good thing for supervising (and paying for!!)5 kids in Disneyland. I hope it was as fun as it looks.

Well, I do try Rita. Thank you for noticing. And, by the way, Amy is 40, I'm only 39 and....oh, yeah, nevermind.

How fun would it be if we happened to be at the Happiest Place on Earth at the same time one day? Hmmmm..... I may have to start planning something!
