Destination Disneyland

One of the things we like to do is take our "newlywed" kids on a weekend vacation somewhere close by. The idea is to provide a little vacation for the "newlyweds" when it typically isn't in their budget yet, in order to create a memory with them & give us a fun opportunity to get to know their new spouse better. Well, because of a series of scheduling difficulties, we finally got together with the Horners to deliver their "wedding weekend" - 4 1/2 years late! Lucky for Olivia, she was included in the festivities & Disneyland was the destination for all the fun!

YUMMM…Smith’s cookies for breakfast!



Admiring the inner princess, getting ready to go…



Walking across the street…



…or running…



Halloween Time – LOVE the fall decor…






The obligatory Disney Depot & Castle pictures (The Princess did not appreciate all the photos…she was too BUSY & NOT interested in taking pictures!)




Cruisin’ down Main Street, USA.



Lovin’ the rides…









NOT lovin’ the lines…




Definitely Lovin’ the Princesses!





Belle was her favorite, but she was “chattin’ it up” with Jasmine like they were BFF’s!



Sharing treats…




Worn out…





Surprise cousin sighting…da boyz just happen to be there with their Petersen grandparents.



Lots of photo-ops…




Really into the Pixar parade…





Bye Mickey! We had a great time at the "happiest place on earth."
See ya’ real soon!



Thanks for being patient regarding this little "wedding weekend" trip - we are truly happy to have Ben (& Olivia) in the family. Thanks for the memories...love you guys!
