Reese Family Vacation

We took advantage of the Disney "Give a day, get a day" volunteer opportunity and got free tickets to Disneyland for Tony, Alex and I. Tony took the week off work, so we had 10 full days to enjoy our family. We had a GREAT time and was sad that it seemed to fly by too fast. Here's a little bit of our vaca.

Our Hotel

We stayed at the Holiday Inn - Anaheim Resort. We rented the Kids Suite and it was absolutely perfect for us. A small portion of the room was partitioned off for the kids, equipped with a bunkbed, TV and an Xbox360, which excited both Tony and Alex. We brought our mini pack'n'play for Olivia and Tony and I had a queen sized bed. We stayed 3 fabulous nights, not enough. :(


Alex & Emma on the bunkbed. Emma got the top bunk since it has the side rails. She's just starting to get the hang of sleeping somewhere other than her crib. She's so cute!


I love this picture. Here's Olivia, attacking herself in the mirror, Emma admiring her pretty princess self, and if you look closely, you can see Tony & Alex playing Xbox in the background. Perfection.

Disneyland


Our cute family. We woke the kids up so early, hence the lack of smiles. And there's Emma, SO excited to see the princess castle.


My four favorite people, waiting for the submarine Nemo ride.


Alex and his crazy huge cotton candy. Yes, he shared. Kinda.


Alex & Emma...so cute. And Alex & the tree stump, he thought it was cool.


Tony and I - waiting for the parade to start.



Alex took a few pictures...here's Emma..so cute!


Here's a tired mommy...and mommy with Emma...

And here's the 3 of us, well 2 1/2.


Olivia loved "It's a Small World".


Emma took me along on the car race. It was a little scary, but she had a great time!

And we visited the beach...I so love it there. I could stay for days & days...

Alex really wanted to bury himself after he had fallen in the water. He was a sandy mess, but had a great time doing it. That's what counts most, right?

Me and my sweet Emma. What a great family vaca!

It looks like you had a fantastic time! I'm a little jealous...I love family vacations. I'm so glad that everyone loved DL. Small World is my girl's favorite ride too-I think we rode it 2 times everyday we were there last time!

Oh my goodness! What a fun trip! You are making me itch for a family vacation! The beach looks so fun and Disneyland, well that goes un-explained. Your kids are just beautiful and so are you!

So fun. I love all the great pictures. I think my favorite is the one of Livvy wearing the princess crown. What a fun hotel room. I think we need something like that if we ever get to go as a whole family. I am so glad it turned out so well for you. The beach looks like a blast too. Glad you had fun.
