It's a "WiCKED Mouse Tour" !!


Call me spontaneous? At the last minute I finally decided to go on a girls trip to LA. My sister and aunt and her two girls had planned a girls trip to California. I had really wanted to go but didn't think there was any way possible. It was really last minute. With some help from my amazing husband we were able to make some quick arrangements for me to go. It wasn't just me though, my mom decided to go also, and couldn't without bringing my little brother. So much for a girls trip! No, really he was a welcome addition. It was kinda hectic the day we traveled since there were three different flights scheduled and three different airlines but at around 11:00 friday night, we finally made it to the big city of LA.

Our First Stop.....
the amazing...
This is us inside the shop, (they don't allow pics inside)
mmmmmnnn it is soooo goooood! I had a Pinkberry craving the whole trip! Sariah you can still thank me any time! : )
These were fun little guys who hung out with us at Pinkberry

Next stop...

and even more amazing...
Pantages Theater presents....
I know, I wasn't supposed to take pictures inside but I had to sneak one...
Cousin Kyra immediately got lost in the book... not really, just a cute pic!
Me and my cute mom who I sat next to. And of course we both left the theater in tears!
The cousin crew at Cheesecake Factory after the play
It really was so good! Definately in my top 3! I wanted to see it again the minute I left the theater. But of course I couldn't leave without buying the soundtrack! The rest of the night our whole crew drove around (getting lost in LA), but having fun rockin out to Wicked! I think we all agree my little brother Bud had the best vocals of the bunch! :)



Last but not least...

a 2-day Park hopper at
Disneyland!
Since it was Halloween time they had the cutest Halloween stuff everywhere


Even Minnie Mouse was in her Halloween costume as a Minnie Witch. (don't know the people in the pic, the line was soo long to get a pic with Minnie so I just got this one)

In Californa Adventure they had a Candy Corn field with candy corn everywhere. It was really cute. This was the largest (fake) candy corn. The slug from bugs life would pop out of it and it was really cute.

The crew in the New Orleans District. We went to the Blue Bayou for dinner which was really good. (The patio is inside the Pirates of the Carribean ride)

This is by far the funnest ride ever!! Can you tell from our faces? It is the California Adventure Tower of Terror. We went on it at least 4 times. This is a pic of the pic they take. The funniest part was my poor mom and aunt (not pictured)who we tricked into going on it. They had no clue what was going to happen, and needless to say they only went on it once.

The lights at night were really pretty.
The firework show is sooo amazing. It is narrated by Julie Andrews who is my favorite. It really is "enchanting" as my mom would say. It makes me excited to bring my kids here one day. (not without Sariah of course!) Dreams really do come true!
It was such a fun and memorable trip! Thanks you guys!

And yes...

Ledah it is so fun to see what you are up to! We definately need to do a girls dinner when all of the out of towners are in Utah. Dave just walked in when I was looking at your blog and said, "She is the one that T.W. tried to mack on." I totally forgot about that. Let me know if you need me to refresh your memory on who that was!
