For Christmas Brian gave us a trip to Disney Paris! We just got back and we had a blast! It was a short whirlwind trip but it was SO much fun!
We boarded a bus for Paris at 4:30 on Friday! We arrived at our hotel at 3:30. The bus driver offered a night tour through Paris but we opted to get a good night sleep instead! We walked over to a mall about 2 blocks from the hotel. We were in Awe of the size and the amount of people there. Remember, we have been overseas for over 12 years now. We had Chinese for dinner and then went back to our room. Everyone, but me, was asleep by 7:30, this would be 6:30 UK time!
Saturday morning we had a buffet breakfast and we loaded back in the bus by 8:00. I was totally overwhelmed when we arrived at Disney. Having never been to a Disney, I really didn't know what to expect. We had such a fabulous day and we rode SO many more rides then I expected.
We had lunch at the Blue Lagoon. This is an underground resteraunt that is the beach at the beginning of the Pirates of the Caribbean Ride. It was so beautiful. I ordered Creme Brulee and the boys enjoyed it as much as I did!

Our favorite ride was Big Thunder Mountain, I think we rode it 5 times. Every time Levi would say he didn't want to go but we kept dragging him along. Brian, Hayden and Gage braved the Tower of Terror. Levi didn't want to go and I figured we had tortured him enough so we sat outside and waited. This was the LONGEST line we endured. The sign said it was a 25 minutes wait but Levi and I waited over an hour for them to come out.
We left the park at 10:00 totally exhausted with our legs aching! But it was such a wonderful family time!
Before leaving Paris Sunday morning we stopped at a Church on the top of Paris. It was a hike up for our poor little legs but it was beautiful! We had a great view of the city.

The ferry back to the UK was crazy. The wind was so fierce that there were SO many ladies in the bathroom with seas sickness! If it wasn't so funny listening to them, I may have gotten sick too! After the crossing we had to wait an additional hour before we could dock. It was so funny to watch people walk down the hallways, everyone looked completely drunk. Hayden and I went for a walk and Hayden fell flat on his back twice! It was quite funny.
When we finally disembarked the ferry we drove up to Dover Castle. It was dark but it was so beautiful to see the castle all lit up.
We finally arrived home at 8:30, the kids were asleep within seconds of hitting their pillows!
I ordered each of the kids a scrapbook and they will get to make their own memory albums!
Thank you Brian for the amazing trip! I love you!!
