Spring Break started for us Saturday morning April 3rd about 10:15 when we loaded in the Suburban and headed for St. George. We listened to General Conference as we traveled and were able to chase it through the dials as one station faded and another would pick it up. It was very uplifting. We stayed at a Comfort Inn in St. George. After hitting the Outlet Mall, Kevin and Jeffrey went to priesthood session with Daniel and Jake Clark and the girls and I hung out with Tina and her girls. I'm bummed I forgot the camara.
Sunday morning we were able to get about an hour and a half of conference. We lost it just before Las Vegas. We arrived at Auntie's house and were able to listen to the last 20 minutes. Then we layed down in our rooms upstairs for a few minutes until we felt an earthquake. Kevin said, "why are you shaking the bed?" and I said, "I thought you were. I think we're having an earthquake." Sure enough we felt the fringes of a 7.2 that happened in Mexicali, Mexico. That was our first ride of the trip.
The next morning we headed to the Desert Palms hotel where we were able to check in and park the car. Then we walked the 10 minutes to Disneyland.
Amberly found her letter in California.
Cammie found her letter in California.
Jeffrey found his middle initial in California.
Janna decided she liked the O.
It was raining Monday morning so we stopped at a drugstore and bought the kids an umbrella. It didn't rain for long, but it was cool and much less crowded Monday because of the weather.
Space Mountain was our first ride at Disneyland. It was a family favorite. Some of us ended up going on it 6 times.
Driving the cars.
Kevin always wanted to go on the submarine as a little boy and it was never open. His dream came true on this trip. How do they project underwater anyway?
Teacups are a must.
Other fun rides.
Small world.
I think these pictures were taken on the second day, but they represent how we felt by the end of the first day.
Tower of Terror.
I love California Screamin'. We went 5-6 times.
Janna and I did California Soaring twice. Everyone else just once. It's really cool.
Family togetherness.
Thursday morning we headed for St. George after taking Auntie and Uncle Lyle to IHOP. We had some fun hanging out with family in the beautiful sun.
Jeffrey stayed until Sunday,but the rest of us headed home Friday night and slept in our own beds. The sore throats and coughs are feeling better. All that's left are the wonderful memories.
Happy Spring Break!

Wow! You posted so quickly, I am amazed. Love the family shots, I'm glad you guys had a blast!
great pics sister.... looks like y'all had a blast. We really need to take our kids somewhere fun. Most of the time it feels like a chore instead of something fun to do.... I know as they get older it will get more enjoyable.

Looks like you guys had so much fun! My kids keep asking when we are going to Disneyland again. They have even started a Disneyland jar! See you tomorrow.
Rae, looks like a blast. The boys are getting old enough that I think we'll try to get down there in the next year or so. Glad you guys had such a fun time. I'm sure your kids got along great with no fighting...
