We made it safely to California. I am sitting here at the hotel only minutes away from Disneyland. I am enjoying the quiet while the children are sleeping and Tony and Margie went to the store. For some reason it didn't dawn on me to bring any Binky clips for Megan's Binky's and I totally forgot to pack our little back pack that has a leash on it for the little ones. Josh likes to just run on a head of us, so we wanted to make sure we don't loose him and we didn't want to be loosing Binky's all day...thank goodness for Walmart's all over.
This morning after we ate breakfast and packed up our things, we checked out and then started our drive to CA. Josh got restless really quickly this morning. He just wanted to snack on all the treats the whole time. He was telling us he was hungry over and over and it got real old real fast. I think he was just bored and snacking helps pass the time - I totally know how he feels their. Tyler and Megan did really good. They were both ready to be done by the time we got here.
We decided to try and make the 11:00 church in Victorsville but then when we got there the parking lot was empty so we figured they had Stake Conference today. We thought that was okay because we could still drive over by our hotel and pick up that ward at 1:00 (even though it was a Tongan ward). So we had time to get some lunch and then everyone changed into their church clothes (except me, I already had mine on). We headed to the ward building and saw that that parking lot was pretty much empty as well. A couple people were there so we asked about sacrament meeting. He told us that they had Stake Conference today so no regular church. What are the odds of us trying to go to two different wards in two totally different parts of California? So we didn't get to go to sacrament today, I hope that we get points for trying.
Instead of church we decided to head to Costco and the Disney Store (only on vacation). We got some bottled water and found Tyler a cute Halloween costume. We found cute ones for Josh, but decided against buying it...we may change our mind and go back and get it. We found some cute shirts at the Disney Store that we all plan on wearing tomorrow at Disneyland.
By that time we figured we could check into our hotel so we went and got our room. Then it was a lot of unloading and unpacking. It is kind of sad, but I really like the unpacking part. I like organizing and getting things settled for the week. Margie and Tony took the kids to play at the park while I unpacked everything.
When everything was put away we all went and checked out an outside shopping center that is really close to our hotel. There weren't many open shops or people around. We decided that we didn't need to visit that place again. After walking around there we decided to walk to Tony Romas and have some dinner. It was really good food and we all had a good time. It was really hot today (like 90's) so it was nice to get out of the heat.
After dinner we came back to the hotel and got ready for bed. Tyler did some homework and then after stories and prayers the kids all went to sleep. Let's hope for a good night sleep for everyone because tomorrow is going to be a long busy day of having fun...lots of Disney fun. Can't wait!
