First Stop: Las Vegas
Our first stop was in North Las Vegas to visit my former roommate/good friend, Erin, who is moving to England this week. Here, mommy and Heidi cool off in the Caspers' Pool
Addie and Eliza walking to the pool (sorry it's fuzzy--I had to super-zoom)
Thursday in Newport Beach
We drove straight from Las Vegas (at 6am) to Orange County (10:30am). To tour the new temple, you had to park and ride a shuttle bus to the temple grounds because there were thousands of people there! Here are Rich and Heidi riding to the temple...
...and here is Addie listening intently to the tour guide.

At the Beach
The girls ran straight in to the water when we arrived at Newport Beach (just north--or is it west?- of the pier). They LOVED the beach! In hindsight, if we'd realized how MUCH they'd love it, we would have skipped Disneyland this trip and jsut played in the water all day for TWO days.

Friday: Disney Day!
First stop: Teacups! Here are the girls spinning like mad...
Heidi didn't want to get off the ride!
Heidi also did not want to wait in line AT ALL! She had to sit on daddy's shoulders and when he got tired, we stopped going on rides with lines and reminded ourselves to come in January or Februray next time.

In Toon Town there were lots of rides for little kids and we saw Chip & Dale there (don't ask me which one this is); this was the only character that Heidi wasn't afraid of.
Pluto gave Addie a big hug!
We got really hot and sweaty so we took a noon break and watched the new Snow White show. It was soooooo good! We loved it! Here we are watching intently.

We saw lots of Princesses! Sleeping Beauty and Belle were really crowded when we found them, so we just snapped this picture of Belle as she passed by.
Mulan was out front when we went to lunch.
The best princess was Cinderella--Addie's favorite! She took time to visit with Addie and her stepmother was there, too! Addie asks every day when she can have the Cinderella DVD and I have to tell her, "Not til October." I am excited for that DVD, too--it's my favorite because it's the only one without a really scary, evil part. It's just the mean step sisters and mother, not all the powers of hell, you know? Otherwise, Sleeping Beauty would be my favorite for the Prince and the music. But I digress...
