Will Family Trip- 2012



Our trip with Chris' family this year was to southern California and Disneyland the last week of June.

We arrived very late on Saturday night after driving all day and spending a few hours with some great friends in Las Vegas.  
Sunday we went to church and hung around the house for a family gathering.  The girls loved playing with their cousin, Gavin.

All the kids with great Aunt Margaret.

Monday we went to California Adventure.

Tuesday we went to Disneyland.  Ashlee was a little tired after a long day Monday, but she was a trooper and was so excited to meet the Princesses.


We hadn't yet seen Brave, but the girls wanted to meet Merida.  Caitlin told her that she was born in Scotland.  I have to say that she (Merida) did have a pretty good Scottish accent.

Then we met some princesses.  Ashlee was soooooo excited to meet Ariel.


Belle is Caitlin's favorite.

And Tiana was great with her southern accent.


We went on Pirates of the Caribbean again, but it wasn't our first ride this time.  Even so, Ashlee really didn't like it very much this time either.

Tuesday night Chris and I and Nate and Amy went back for a date night.  We saved up fast passes from the day so we were able to ride a ton of rides in a really short amount of time.

Wednesday morning before heading out.  Molly was so good all week.  She is such a good baby so she easily just went with the flow.  However, Wednesday Katie drove over and watched her so we could go without her for a few hours.  It was so nice of her!!


After Splash Mountain.


Ashlee and I on the Dumbo Ride.  That was our longest wait, and it was super hot in the line.

The girls look so thrilled to be here. (they were hot and tired)

Caitlin and Chris driving the cars.


Mid-afternoon Ashlee and I headed home so I could feed Molly and Caitlin, Chris and Grandpa waited in a really long line to meet Rapunzel.



 Wednesday night Chris and Nate went back with their Mom and Dad for a little original Will family time.

Thursday morning Grandma was nice enough to eat breakfast at the kids table!

Grandma, Grandpa and grand kids (minus Molly)

 Our little family.  This was Thursday night when we went back to watch Fantasmic.

Thursday we went back to California Adventure and rode a few rides, then went back home just after lunch to take naps so we could go back that night to watch Fantasmic and the fireworks.
The Little Mermaid ride was Ashlee's absolute favorite.  She rode it 5 times, and would have ridden it all day long if she could have.

 Thursday night after the fireworks.

 The house we rented had a nice pool that we enjoyed many swims in.

Friday morning everyone headed back to Disneyland for a few hour except for Me, Ashlee and Molly.  Molly needed a quiet day after being up so late the night before and Ashlee was Disneyed out.

Grandma and Grandpa got us matching shirts that we wore Monday and Friday, but we didn't take a group shot on Monday, so we had to settle for a picture at the house on Friday morning.

Friday afternoon we went to the beach for a couple of hours.  The girls loved it and could have probably stayed all day long.

It was a super fun trip.  We were worn out by the end of the week, but we made some great memories!!
