Her good friend Dylan brought her a scooter.  He got one for Christmas and thought if she had one they could ride together.

And finally her actual birthday.  By this time we were sick of cake so she got a big chocolate chip cookie. Ashleigh's 4th bday 018Ashleigh's 4th bday 016

The game was fun.  Jeff got the highest score 147,000+.

Next on the agenda California Scream.  Not a great close- up shot of everyone but they’re there.  Logan loved this ride.  Makenzie was about an inch short = lots of tears.Disneyland 057   

The kids that were too short rode on the carousel.  Ok not as fun but most of them didn’t mind.

Disney Day 1

Our first day at Disneyland was a little soggy, thus all the raincoats.  Soggy weather = short lines.  We rode Space Mountain first thing and the wait time was less than 10 minutes.  Then we headed over to the rockets.  Here are Ashleigh, Kenyon, Makenzie, Hannah, and Jacob waiting in line.

The Wolfingtons and aunt Michelle went back to Disneyland at the end of the day to watch Fantasmic.  The kids really enjoyed the show.  Michelle and Karolyn froze as they sat saving a place to sit for over an hour.  But it was worth it.
