We landed safely in Orange County and had a happy, unexpected surprise waiting at the gate. Our niece Prenna and her mom had just spent a few days at Disneyland and were waiting to board our plane going back to Portland! We got to give that sweet girl a squeeze and hear all about her Disney adventures.
We said our goodbyes and headed to baggage claim. Isaiah, who can't keep a secret apparently, had spilled the beans to his cousins about our surprise transportation. Jess didn't know though so her face when the limo drove up was priceless! The boys took to high rollin' with surprising ease.
Once we arrived at the Disneyland hotel, we were all business. We checked into our adjoining rooms, did a small bit of discovery work and then headed out the door to the park. A few highlights:
* The Sansone boys' first ride on Splash Mountain (and the ridiculously awesome resulting picture).
* Pete's giddy joy at being tall enough to ride Indiana Jones.
* Fireworks and snow falling on Main Street.
* Will falling asleep during Muppets 3-D.
* Jess's hysterical screaming on Tower of Terror.
* Wrapping up the night in the concierge lounge with sweet, sleepy boys writing in their travel journals.
So far, pretty awesome... wishing grandma Jackie was here but we'll visit the corndog stand tomorrow in her honor.

I've never been to Disneyland! Someday soon, when the grandchildren are a little taller, I hope to go with them and experience the wonder that is Disneyland with them! You've been working hard, so enjoy your time off. I'll be holding things down here at the office and will enjoy reading about your adventures!
