Three Day Getaway....

....To Disneyland.  Yes we had the opportunity to fly to Disneyland for a few days.  Sunday, Mother's Day, Vance and I both worked.  I got off about 9:30 and came home to attempt to pack.  Vance got home just after midnight and helped me finish packing.  Our flight was to depart at 6 a.m. So we decided it was silly to go to sleep and wake up a few hours later.  Yup we packed the car up and headed to Sea-tac airport at 3:00 a.m. Drove to the airport parking, got shuttled to the airport.  Checked in and went to the gate! Kids Flew great to Salt Lake for our connection. The flight to Salt Lake was great because the boys fell asleep and that allowed Vance and I to take a nap. We landed in Orange County, CA and had to take a shuttle to the hotel. $30 later we made it to Disneyland at about 11:00 a.m.

First things first... Cotton Candy.

Yummy Stuff.

So I completely failed at taking pictures the first day, but made up for the second day.  


Here we all are heading towards the entrance. 

We hopped onto the train for our first ride.

Unfortunately All things must come to an end.  We shuttled back to the airport and checked in. Flew to Salt lake. 

Aidan fell asleep on the flight to Salt Lake. 

Looks like Grandpa Hodo did as well.

We were waiting at the gate to see if we were going to make it on the flight.  One seat available so Vance decides to take it and all of a sudden another opens up.  Vance takes Ethan with him.  So Aidan and I watch them head on the plane.  We sit waiting patiently and realized we are going to be waiting till 9:20 for the next flight.  5 minutes before the flight was to depart the agent tells me there is one more open sit.  I was in shock!! She said I can take Aidan on as a lap child.  So I snagged Aidan and hopped on the plane.  Vance was just as shocked to see us on the flight.  I went to our assigned seat I get a middle seat in between the BIGGEST and TALLEST guys you've ever seen.  I wish I had a picture to show you, but Vance said it was funny to look at.  Vance ended up taking Aidan and putting him on his lap because there was no way I could take care of Aidan in between these guys.  haha.

the trip to Disneyland was a lot of fun and I can't wait to go again.
