Cameron {and} Bethany: California, Here we come!

Cam's parents treated the whole family to a trip to Disneyland this year. It was my first time even going to California so you can only imagine my excitement! We probably went during the best week. It rained the first day, but that didn't stop any of us. In fact, it was great because there were absolutely no lines to wait in! The longest line we waited in all week was for about 25 minutes! We had so much fun hanging out with the family and going on rides! We did get the chance to go on a couple of rides with all 17 of us on the very last night. We went on Jungle Cruise, Pirates, and Haunted Mansion. It was so great to do something with everyone! Thanks everyone for such a fun vacation!

This was probably one of the most memorable moments. Amy, Ryan, Cam, and I went on the Peter Pan ride when it busted while approaching the end. They even turned the lights on while they tried to fix it. I have to admit it kind of took the magic away. The funny part was at the beginning when I turned to Cam and told him I felt like something was going to break. Some of the rides make some scary sounds. Poor Amy and Ryan, they were about six feet in the air while Cam and I were only about three. Thanks Amy and Ryan for going on rides with us!

We had so much fun on the new Toy Story ride! Check out our glasses! This was probably the longest line we stood in all week and it was about 25 minutes. At first I was killing Cam in points, but in the end he won!

Splash Mountain was so much fun! This was the first time we went on it the first day. After we were done, they asked us if we wanted to go again since no one was in line. We turned it down, but later regretted it. Who can say they went on Splash Mountain twice in a row without ever having to wait in line? Well, on the last night at about 11:30pm, Ryan Omer, Cam, and I decided to go on because there wasn't a line. It was freezing outside at the time too! After we got done they asked us if we wanted to go again so we jumped on it this time and went a second time! We got soaked, but it was completely worth it. It was so much fun!

Here are a few pictures with some characters. I know, we're adults.

I thought that Toontown was really cute! I felt like I was in a cartoon.

Cameron only wishes he worked here instead of with Zions.

Since our flight out of Long Beach wasn't until after 7pm, we all went to Newport Beach. We did a little shopping at Fashion Island and then took off for the beach. I finally put my feet in the ocean! My experience: it was cold. Even though the water was freezing, we had so much fun just hanging out together! We tried to find the rest of the family at the beach, which became a little adventure! We went to H street, but it turns out that Ryan said 8th street. Finally we got there and 5 minutes later it was time to go.
