The Merriest Place on Earth!

So we took a family vacation to the "Merriest place on earth"! We chose December because statistics show the first two weeks of December are the lowest attendance rates of the whole year and we wanted to see it all decorated up for Christmas. This is our 4th trip in the last 7 years. We just love to go. Luckily we have kids who LOVE all the rides and have no fears whatsoever, which is great for us because both Shaun and I also love all the rides and would not want to be the one sitting out with a scared child and missing all the fun.
It was a good trip... we drove there and back but the kids did really well. The weather was like fall in Utah and we did get rain one evening. The crowds were not the least we have ever seen, but definately not the worst either (side note: NEVER go to D-land over UEA weekend!! the worst crowds ever!) We had tired feet and an empty pocketbook by the time our 4 days of fun were up, but we already have our next trip planned in 2 years time. :)
