The Happiest Place on Earth!






I tell you what there is nothing like Disneyland with your kid's, there is just something about that place that makes everyone feel like a kid again. We had such a blast!

Our flight left at 8:40 a.m. so we thought we had plenty of time leaving our house at 6:00 a.m. to make our flight and still grab a bite to eat. Oh boy! were we wrong, we got to the airport and checked our luggage in with the sky cap and then went through the SECURITY LINE, let's just say it was worse than waiting in the lines at Disney, of course, we picked the SLOW line. Our neighbors made it through and down to the gate when my phone started to ring & ring, it was my friend Kelli who said we better run. So picture this, the Johnson's running through the airport we get there and the lady says "sorry there is now way you can make it on this flight" as we are looking at the plane and people still boarding? Jett lost it (I actually felt bad for the lady, not really:) so now Kalli and I are crying (not hard to do these days). Long story short we finally flew out at 11 a.m. to Long Beach then took a taxi to John Wayne airport because that is where our inital flight was to land and where the car rental was (Long Beach was sold out of cars that day....just not our day I guess). All worked out just fine we got the car and went straight to Disney to meet up with our friend's and it ended up to be a great day, that is why I said...what is it about Disney?

The kid's had the time of their lives. Riley's main focus was to hit every ride possible I can't believe at 7 he has no fear of any ride big or small, fast or slow. He was in 7th heaven because this time around the Pirates ride was open and he was tall enough to go on most everything this year. Kalli was just so happy to eat dinner with the princesses that she could care less about anything else..oh I forgot she got to see the little High School Musical parade. We went with our friends and neighbors the Bland's, they have kid's right around our kids' ages so it made it so much more fun for them.

You didn't even mention going to Disneyland...you stinker, and your Birthday...what's up? I love Disneyland, there is just something about it, I could spend days there. It makes it great when your kids are old enough to ride all the rides too. I bet Riley had a blast. Looks like tons of fun!
