DISNEYLAND!

Monday
After a rainy start to the day, it turned out beautiful! We had to buy our passes for the bus first and had a slower start, but it worked out fine. It was not too crowded and we got on some rides pretty quickly.




Before,


and after!
We ALL loved Splash Mountain!

Grace and Kirk on the Matterhorn...
She loved anything that was a roller coaster, but not always the first time!

After eating lunch in the park, we went back to the hotel for a break. It was fun to relax and swim in the afternoons and then head back for more fun!


Spring Break in California!!







Easter Sunday
Our Easter Sunday was spent driving in to Anaheim from Las Vegas. (We only had to drive to Las Vegas on Saturday, so that was an easy day. Mike and the boys went to their Priesthood meeting for church with Mike's cousin Brad and his boys.) We all loved the room at California and were excited to get settled in and head to the pool.
The Earthquake

It was kind of an exciting afternoon on Sunday. We were there for the earthquake! It was 7.2 just over the border in Mexico. Me and the kids were heading back up to our room from the pool and were wondering why the elevator wouldn't work. We went and asked the front desk and they told us there was an earthquake! Kirk and Olivia had noticed while we waited for the elevator that they felt like the earth was moving or something weird, but Zach, Grace, Eliza and I didn't notice.
Mike, however, was on the 8th floor and definitely felt it swaying! We heard some rides were shut down at Disney too. Overall, it was an exciting event to be in the middle of, but Zach and I wished we would've noticed something!
After that, we all relaxed and listened to some of Conference before heading to bed.
Next: Disneyland!!
