The kids loved the Skyliner (like a bullet train kinda) because the seats turned around.

Day 1: DISNEYLAND
Wow, I have never been to such a busy theme park. It was CRAZY!
This is the only ride we went on because the wait was only about 35 minutes...for the carousel. Everything else was over 90 minutes. Try explaining that to a 2 year old.
We didn't get to meet any princesses, but we did do a tour of Cinderella's castle
We watched 2 parades and the kids loved that part. It was the only time we saw any characters there.
The one super nice thing about the trip was the hotel. It is a military hotel about 20 minutes from downtown and a 15 minute walk to the temple. All the other hotels in the area are at least 4 times as much. We were so grateful to get a room. Brooklyn loves to practice writing any time she can.
DAY 2: TEMPLE and DOWNTOWN
Curtis took the kids to the park across the street while I did a session and then we switched. How blessed we felt to be able to go to the temple while we were there.
Downtown Tokyo was crazy busy. In Japan they not only have crosswalks that go on each side, but also ones that go diagonal across the street. When it's the pedestrians turn, watch out and hold on.
Sunday morning we went to church and then headed to the airport. We tried to pack all our food so this is Spencer eating raw cup o noodles because we couldn't find a microwave.
You can imagine how fast we moved with such good helpers!
What an adventure- made us really think about finding friends to watch our kids next time we want to travel.
