Done posting about our trip for a bit!

I will post more later! I didn't realize how long it would take to post about our trip :)

Disneyland!

We went to Disneyland and stayed at Howard Johnsons. If anyone is going to Disneyland I recommend that you check out HOJO :) We paid $74.00 a night for two queen beds with a Disney view :) It was clean and nice. They have what is called the entertainment rate which isn't always available but it is available for most of the time. What you do to get the entertainment rate is purchace one of those entertainment books and bring the blue card that comes with it to HOJO :) You can check out if the rate is available by going to http://www.hojoanaheim.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=14.
We also did this thing called ridemax which is this program that you can buy and it lets you chose the rides that you want to ride that day and it makes a schedule for you to use so you have the least amount of wait time to ride a ride! The whole time that we were there the longest wait time we had was a half hour! That was for splash mountain which we rode with it not being on the list in our free time! The only downfall is that you walk and walk and walk and walk. While we were walking I starting singning that primary sing Pioneer children sang and they walked and walked and walked and walked LOL :) You can check out ridemax by going to

We had a lot of fun while in Disneyland. Makaila seemed to enjoy the thrill type rides. She said that her favorite ride was the Tower of Terror! Crazy her! I can tell you that I HATE HATE HATE I could continue typing the word hate but I will not bore you by having to read it that many times the teacups. What a waste of a ride LOL :) I got so sick of from the ride. I had a major headache and refuse to even look at the ride again!

Here are a few pictures of our Disneyland trip :)

Have you ever wished that you would have bought something and didn't? Well that is this hat! I don't know why but I wanted this hat! I didn't get it and now wished that I would have. It fit my head perfectly! I loved it! Oh well at least I have a picture to remember it by!

While we were in California I got a new addiction. Mr. Potato Head. Yup.. I LOVE Mr. Potato head and bought tons of disney parts for my Mr. Potato Head. Now I wished that I had a few more parts LOL :) I guess those will have to wait until our next trip

We got to take our picture with Mickey! Not the best picture but it will do!

I had to get those cute Mickey Ears for Makaila! Look at all of the cute pictures that I was able to get! I am SOO going to miss this little girl come Monday morning when she returns back home.

San Diego Temple

We went to the San Diego Temple while on our vacation and it was BEAUTIFUL! The inside I think is a lot more beautiful than the outside! We did a session while we were there and man.. I could live without the experience of getting to the temple for the session. It started out with us running late. We told my cousins who were going to watch Makaila that we would be there by 8:30 and we didn't even get to the car to leave until 8:30. I want to add what Makaila said on the way to church on Sunday. We again were running late (well not late 10 min until church started and church was 5 min away) and we get to the car and Jake wanted his sunglasses. Makaila had said that EVERYTHING we try to go to church something comes up that tries to make us not want to go to church or are late for church. That we get upset or something. I had told her that it was Satan who was trying to keep us from doing good. Now back to our story about going to the Temple. So as we are driving all of the sudden the vehicle will not go into first of second gear. In Cali there are a lot of hills and this made it challenging to get to our destination. We were hoping that there was no problem but sure enough.... It would hardly work. Jake could get it in first once in a while. Like one out of every 10 tries. But never in second. So I am getting frustrates because we are borrowing this vehicle from my cousins and now we break it. So we finally make it to the Temple. Guess what I couldn't find? My recommend. Here I am already stressed out about the vehicle and now I cannot find my recommend. Luckily I found it but it was hidden in my wallet. As you walk into the temple it is BEAUTIFUL! The stair case leading up to the chapel was beautiful and the celestial room was breathtaking! If you have not gone make time to go! This is the most beautiful Temple I have been to!

Here are some pictures!
