"The World Of Color"

This show was Emily's favorite part of the trip. After enjoying the entire day at Disneyland, we "park-hopped" to California Adventure just to see this show. It was really amazing, but at the same time it was crazy because so many people had the same idea as us. The kids were very tired and so were all the adults. Nicholas decided to just go to sleep (I guess the World Of Color didn't have enough Clone Troopers, so it wasn't worth it for him...haha). The wait was long but we enjoyed the show so much that it was worth it!

Disneyland Adventures...

Since Emily was "the boss" on her birthday, she wanted to go to Disneyland. Here are some of the pictures we got. Nicholas was really excited to see the Star Wars Training Academy Show and said he wanted to volunteer to be in it. By the time we got to the show, Nick saw the characters up close and personal and changed his mind about participating. Emily and Hailey were really excited to visit Pixie Hollow and they were able to get their picture taken with Tinkerbell (and so did Donna and I). Steve and Donna were with us and were really patient with all the kids requests, even if that required to spin around in the teacups, ride crazy roller-coasters (that made our poor bones almost fall apart), or helping carry the kids when they were tired.
Disneyland...The Happiest Place On Earth?!?! Sure! Whatever.....haha :)

Emily's Special 8th Birthday

Emily is finally 8 years old. We had a great time celebrating her birthday. She was really fortunate to have her Grandpa and Grandma Thompson from Florida and her Great Grandma Wampler from Nauvoo, Illinois, come to visit.
