Fox Family Blog: Spring Break @ Disneyland

We started off the trip with a pic with Goofy at the park entrance.

Wyatt got a new hat for the trip.

And yes, he wore it every day. Because he could. It was a hair-gel free trip. Boom chicka waa wah!

We rode the hotel shuttle to and from the park every day. It was delightful. See, you can tell from our happy smiles.
It's magical.

It's the happiest place on earth!

Below, Mom's favorite ride, Tower of Terror, oops, I mean, Peter Pan. She can fly. Wait, what am I saying, this isn't Peter Pan, it's the Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs ride. Looks like Mallory likes it too. I think I'm all messed up from that tea cup.

We waited in line a lot. This is the Jungle cruise queue.

And on the ride..."Watch out! That rhino gets his point across every time!"

Because everyone needs a photo of the castle. The cherry tree was in full bloom, and so were the crowds. But not too much. We can't complain, no way, we had them fancy FassPasses.

Wyatt wins the horse race. My sweet little Wyatt.

Bonus for us, our friends The McClains, were at the park too! This shot is in the Thunder Mountain Railroad line.

That's a lot of teen spirit.

I got a new hat too. The kids didn't like it. "It's not your style mom, sheesh, camo and distressed and a skull!" Get over it yee putrid varmits! It's a pirate hat!

Can you guess where they are now? Mom says, "That photo is really DARK of Wyatt." I'm sure she was thinking, "Gee, Jen, how about a better photo?" Sorry to disappoint, this was the best shot, and I even color corrected it. (Skills!)

It was taken in the Nemo Submarine ride. Hey it's dark down there you know. And no, the Nemo ride wasn't worth waiting 50 minutes in line for. Ooops, did I type that? Yeah, I pretty much agree with my BFF Stacey, she says, "Not worth more than a 20 minute wait." Of course, none of our spawn agree.

Ok, imagine this...you're waiting in line for the Matterhorn at about 9pm on a Thursday in April and you turn around and there's a guy reading the bible! Kripes, that's dedication to the Lord! I think maybe he was saying some last prayers. He is REALLY scared of the Yetti that lurks within. (Note: Mal kept telling Wyatt to smile really big so we could get the shot. Wyatt really wasn't that happy - it's a fake smile.)

I thought you might benefit from seeing "the new look". This new look trend is made popular by teens across America. Even ones in Utah. Even mine. Hey, Mister, give me that bible!

We made our way over to California Adventure. It's right across the walkway.

My little sweet innocent children. What-everz.

We only watched one parade the whole trip. (We were trying to cut back.) These floats were so neat from the Pixar Parade in California Adventure.

And we ate well on the trip. Mmmmm...cake and ice cream.

California Adventure was sponsoring a Food & Wine festival. Mom and I went to some cooking demonstrations.

What is she eating?

How about a closer look of chipolte brown sugar glazed salmon with roasted corn and black bean relish and avocado tomatillo sauce. What? You say you want the recipe? Mmmmmm...Delicious! Come to my house in Utah and we shall feast!

This is Chef Mark, the genius behind the Salmon. I color corrected this photo to a vintage sepia tone just because I liked it. I know what you're thinking.
