Disneyland Vacation Day 1 & 2

We started our vacation by going to Las Vegas so that we had a stop in between the drive. Jake's Dad recently moved to Vegas for his job, so we left and went down a day before my family to spend some time with him!! We left early Friday at 5:30am hoping the kids would sleep most of the way, nope they stayed awake the entire drive.


When we arrived to Vegas we met up with Jake's Dad for lunch at Taco Bell. Afterwards we went and checked into our hotel. We stayed at Tahiti Village Condos, they were so nice. They had a super fun pool. There was a super shallow area and an area with a beach and a lazy river. So after we checked in we played in the pool for some time and then we went and got some dinner. Marshall has been excited to go to the Big M&M store, so we headed out to the strip. It was a Friday night so it was super busy out. We made it over to the M&M store, we looked around forever and Marshall bought some overpriced M&M's and a cup with a fun straw. We then went back and went to sleep!


M&M factory .. I told Marshall to stand in front for a picture and Papa lifted him up on the table part.


There was no way Kam was coming out of her stroller she would have torn everything apart!Jake, Papa and the kids



I told Jake he was irresistable and to hold this shirt up to him, he would not, and then he made me and he would not give it up until I did. I'm a nerd!!
The beautiful stip on Las Vegas.
We went on a chocolate tour and I loved this sign :)The Botanical Gardens full of Cactus

Watching the planes land! It was actually really cool.


Saturday Morning we woke up and ate Breakfast at Denny's. We then went to a chocolate factory, unfortunately they were not working that day, so we got a glance of the machines, but didn't get to see them in action. We did get some chocolate samples, they were yummy. Next to that is the Botanical Gardens. There is cactus and such kind of plants. We walked around for a bit and Grandpa Cutright told us all about the plants. On our drive back we stopped at the airport landing zone. You can park and get out right next to the landing strip, you see the planes coming in and landing and can hear the noise. You can also tune your radio to hear the radio traffic, it was pretty cool!!! After we went shopping and then swimming when my family arrived.
