The trip to Drizzleland! (whoops) I mean Disneyland!

Our advent rhyme couldn't have been better.
The kids were totally surprised and so excited.
After reading it through a couple times and still trying to guess what we were doing, Cooper shouted, "you mean Jimmer Ferdette is in our truck?!?!"
So with a little help from mom and dad they finally figured out our destination.

We pulled into our hotel parking lot around 9 pm on Friday and unloaded the truck in pouring rain.
It continued to rain for the next 96 hours or in other words...the entire time we were there.
Mother Nature mixed it up though - drizzle, downpour, more than a drizzle/less than a downpour and so forth.  No blue sky at all.  Just a grayish cloud cover for four days.
But with ponchos, hot cocoa and warm churros a plenty we were up for the adventure.

I never brought out my nice camera so our pictures are those taken with Maddie's little point and shoot.


Cinderella's Castle was beautiful!



The silver lining to all the rain was that there was very little, if any, waiting for rides.  For the first time in the four trips we've made to Disneyland, this was the FIRST time we walked straight on to Splash Mountain. The ponchos really came in handy here : )
