DisneyTrip Day 1.

OK, so this is really more like day 1.5. We started our trip last night about 4 p.m. after watching our friends, Brady, Ashley and Henry Mantle get sealed. That's right, from the holiest place on earth, to the happiest place on earth.

As we traveled, Hallie was a non-stop barrage of words. At first she was just asking the usual questions "what movie can I watch?... is that a cow?... what? huh? WHAT MOM?WHAT?" Then around Nephi, she started to ask to go home. Not a good sign, we had about 7-8 more hours of travel to do that night. As a rule we don't tell her anything about where we are going until just before we get there, because she gets too excited and won't sleep, or at least even be sort of calm. So after about half-an-hour of constant talk and whining from the back seat, Bree says "I'm just gonna tell her." So she spins around and says "Hallie, we are going to stop at grandmas just to go to the potty and change into our pajamas, then we are driving to Katrinas house to sleep, then we are going to Disneyland where Mickey Mouse lives."

Absolute silence from the back seat.

"Mickey Mouse house Mom?" "Yes, but you have to be good and just watch your movie." After that she did really good the whole rest of the trip.

We made good time, and got to Victorville without getting lost, or anything even close. For those of you who know me, or who have traveled with me driving, this is no small feat. We got here about 1 in the morning, and Annie woke up crying twice after putting her to bed, then got up for good around 5. Yeah, total nightmare. So we sleep tonight, then head out in the morning for Disneyland.

We went to church with the Langs and had fun with them this afternoon. The dog and swing set were especially big hits with the two girls. Katrina and Amanda took Hallie and Annie right in, they played so good all day without fighting. So all in all, a successful first day I think.
