APRIL 2015

We just returned from our Spring Break trip to Disneyland. We had a really great time and made some fun memories. Here are some of our favorites.

Auriana: My favorite part of Disneyland was the Aladdin show that we went to on Thursday. They had some really spectacular sets, and they actually flew around the top of the room on a flying carpet. My other favorite thing was the racing ride in cars land and the grizzly river rapids ride. On Saturday we went on the river ride and got soaking wet, so since we were already wet we got right back in line and went again. We were all so soaked that we had to go back to the hotel and change! It was a blast. I really liked the parades and how nice everyone there is. We were talking about how the attitude of all the employees makes it such a different experience. The world of color show at Calfornia Adventure was really amazing as well, although we did have to hold Miriam and Ellie on our backs so that they could see. It was a super fun vacation, even if I did have to be the one to miss school right before finals week. :)

Isaac: Disneyland was a blast, they had some pretty spectacular shows there, and the people there have so much talent and it amazed me how much attention to detail was used in creating all the different "lands" particularly in California adventure. The rides were fun and it was really fun spending time with my family and finally having the experience I had heard about my entire life.

Natalie: Disneyland was really fun! Everyone that performed and worked there was so talented and amazing, and I especially loved the Aladdin show. It was really fun to go on such a fun vacation with my family. I really liked all of the rides and the parade at California adventure was really cool.

Enoch: I liked the splash mountain ride, the grizzly river run

Cars land ride, and the space mountain was really fun.

Indiana jones was really fun too.

Miriam: I really liked the Cars Ride, the Grizzly River Run, and the Toy Story Ride at California Adventure. And then I really liked Tarzan's Treehouse and The Pirates of the Caribbean Ride at Disneyland.

Ellie: I liked the Grizzly River Run at California Adventure. I liked the Cars ride at California Adventure too. I also  liked Tarzan's Treehouse at Disneyland. I pretty much  loved the whole trip!! (Except the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.)

My favorite part of the vacation was the river ride. The boat fits eight so it was just us, sitting in a circle boat, laughing and enjoying being together. I loved how family friendly and clean everything at Disneyland was! I also appreciated having a hotel room across the street to take tired children to. After a full and exhausting three days It was wonderful to arrive at Boyd and Karinne's house and be welcomed with hugs, and smiles, and comfortable beds.

Bjorn: I can’t believe we finally broke down and went to Disneyland. It was great to have the family time and to create so many fun memories. I agree with everything everyone else has written. My favorite moments were/are hearing my kids talk about their favorite rides and memories and seeing the excitement on their faces as they experienced Disneyland. I’m hoping my feet will recover soon from all that walking.

I can’t believe Isaac is 17 and Auriana is pretty much done with her first year of college and will be moving out in the fall. Miriam is now 11 - one more year until Young Women! She’s been having a growth spurt lately and lots of people have commented on it, so she’s pretty excited about that. Conference was wonderful as always. A big focus on marriage and families. Can’t wait to dive into the talks in detail.
