Disneyland- 6 months pregnant!

Kylie's favorite ride: Screamin California!



Kylie's NOT so favorite ride (but went on it anyways) Tower of Terror!

Back in March of this year, I was 6 months pregnant and we learned Jesse had an amazing, once in a life time opportunity to be a part of putting in the new trolley that runs through California Adventure Park. Of course he gladly accepted this job and we scored a family vacation out of it! We found out last minute and it was a bit overwhelming, because it wasn't like I could just grab Summer clothes out of my closet for the 70 degree temps and I didn't have much for maternity wear in general. The week before we left, I went over to Jessica's for a visit and she handed me a FULL bag of washed, ready to wear maternity clothes for warmer weather days!! She even sent me pictures of outfit ideas (it's no secret that I am not a fashion diva!)! It was SO thoughtful and nice of her! It meant a lot to me.

Not only was this trip extra special since it was our first trip to Disneyland just the three of us, but also our first family road trip. Because Jesse offered to bring back material when the job ended, we were able to drive down! At first, I thought it wasn't going to be very fun driving 18 hours being pregnant and a 7 year old riding in back. But, it was actually REALLY fun and beautiful! We stopped in Oregon for a quick rest and then again in Bakersfield, CA where we stayed and visited with Jesse's cousin Dawn. It was really fun getting to know her and we appreciated her hospitality very much!

We spent 3 days between Disneyland and California Adventure. Jesse and Kylie went on EVERYTHING! I got to join them on the Pirates of the Caribbean, Story book and the Jelly fish ride....that was about it. I of course enjoyed being all together and took LOTS of pictures! Too many to post here!

 It was pretty exciting to have experienced Disneyland twice in the same year, but this trip was extra special because out of the 4 times we had gone, it was our last vacation just the three of us!
