I'm a Little Excited

So Matt and I have decided to go to Disneyland.  They had killer deals on tickets and we even got a free night in our hotel room.  So we booked it.  Needless to say, I'm excited.  I was so excited, I made the mistake of telling the kids that we were going to Disneyland.  So then every other minute they kept asking "When are we going to Disneyland?"  "Do we need to pack our suitcases yet?"  So finally, to stop the never ending questions I made a countdown calendar:
100_1793 
They move a little family picture of us on the tea cups each morning.
We are leaving April 20 and driving down to state-line (staying at buffalo bill's) and then we will be in the parks April 21- 25 (staying at the del sol inn).  We'll drive home on Sunday.
My two sisters are bringing their families on the 23th and staying through the 25th.  I am excited to be all together at the happiest place on earth.
Both my mom and dad have had Bailee and Jeremy busy working to earn money for the trip.
Jeremy has gone to help his Grandpa on the farm everyday.  Bailee folds towels and helps Grandma do the dishes and cook.  I have been on the Disney boards trying to map out a plan of attack.   Matt has even made some dinner using the Pizza PortDisneyland recipes.  We had chicken fusilli last night.  It was so yummy.  It tastes just like the fusilli at the Pizza Port in Tomorrowland. 
If anyone has any tips, let me know.  Did I mention that I am excited!!!
So, I'm going to add some of my favorite shots from around the parks:
Pirates of the Caribbean This is the entrance to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.  It is one of my favorites.
Tower of Terror4  
Matt's favorite ride in California Adventure.  The Tower of Terror.  I have to post a pic from the inside too:
Tower of Terror Creepy!!

Bailee's favorite all-time ride - the Tea Cups!
 Splash Mountain2
One of my favorite rides:  Splash Mountain!
Haunted Mansion Exterior4
Matt's all-time favorite - the Haunted Mansion!

Fireworks2
I figured I end with an awesome pic of the fireworks.  So in just 32 days I will be there.  Anybody care to join me?

I love going on vacation! Buffalo Bills is a fun place to stay and who doesn't like Disneyland? (Especially with kids). Anyway, have a great time and enjoy the beautiful weather! By the way, I'm thoroughly impressed by the countdown creativity!

I guess louis and I need to have a serious talk tonight don't we!! Patsy feel free to give him a call and put your 2 cents in, maybe Lynn could talk him into it. Then maybe Lynn would go. Who knows.

Way fun! Where do you find your deals? I am wondering if I could ever afford to take my huge family.
