The Best Week Evah!

I'm finally getting around to documenting one of the best weeks of our lives. Evah! 
It started out like this:
attractive? yes!
Then baseball games. 
Then packing.
Then Ridgecrest, CA to see sister Ashley and brother Levi. (Ash, need that one picture that you insisted on taking)
Then on to the happiest place on Earth!
Yes! We went to Disneyland. It was too good of a deal and perfect timing to just let it pass. You see, David won tickets for a family 4-pack of 3-day park hopper passes to Disneyland and California Adventure from the radio station. Yeeeehawww!!! We've been trying to win these babies for 3 years. Our Spring Break from school was coming up, David had two more vacation days from work to use, and it was muh birthday. Lots of good reasons to get out of town! We offered the tickets to our friends Talen and Tonya, but they couldn't get off work to come with us. :( So, we sold the extra tickets to pay for our hotel! Sorry to anybody that was really wanting them. But we didn't want to start any family feuds.
As our departure date crept closer we realized that this is the first vacation we've been on since our honeymoon. Just the two of us. No reunion, wedding, funeral, baptism, missionary farewell, birthday party to attend. Just plain fun. Just vacation! Ahhhhh. It was much needed. But that isn't to say that we don't love seeing our family as often as possible for whatever occasion! Because we really love doing that. :)
Picture time! (more to come once I've uploaded the rest. These are just from one day, my birthday!, from my phone. Still have 2 others days plus pics from David's phone. oy!)
1st churros! 1st ride of the day [Big Thunder Ranch] and 1st Turkey Leg!

Left to Right: on The Nemo Submarine; Star Tours line; Star Tours glasses; THE Castle!

the golden spike that marks the very center of Disneyland [also pictured- our sweet new Nikes]; birthday smiles and kisses while riding through Storybook Land

Davy Crockett and Captain D! We came home with one of these hats. Any guesses which one?
And that's it for now. :) LOTS more to come. 
Thank you everyone for all the sweet calls and texts on Monday. It was a perfect day!
