Spring Break - Part 2

After our fun day at the beach we needed a day of rest so Wednesday we lounged around the house and did nothing. We were actually resting up for our next day of fun which was a trip to Disneyland. Back in February we were able to get 3 day tickets at a discount and we still had one day left on our ticket to visit. Since it would expire we squeezed in a weekday trip with Michael taking a day off and Auntie Brandie coming to stay with Olivia. Jacob is big enough to go on all the rides and Olivia isn't so we think it's better to wait awhile longer before she comes with us. Anyhow, we met Grandpa Larry at the park in the morning and despite it being Spring Break we managed to have a great day getting on all the rides we wanted to. We even had time to explore the new Pirate Island (formally Tom Sawyer's Island) and search for Captain Jack Sparrow. We stayed in the park late enough to see Fantasmic and the fireworks show and then we headed for home. Another fun day on Spring Break!

Jacob really enjoyed roaming around on all the pirate things.

We couldn't believe it when we ran into Mrs. Soto, Jacob's teacher!

We found Jack Sparrow and Jacob got his autograph on his map of the island.

Heading back from the island in search of more rides, Mom had to have a picture in front of the castle. According to Jacob castles are for girls!

Sophie can't believe Jacob got to go to Disneyland twice in two months! Lucky!
