A Father's Day Getaway

For Father's Day we wanted to something fun. Gian's dad died back in 1995 and my dad is on a mission, so we didn't really have anyone to celebrate with. I decided to something special for Gian (and for the rest of us).
We went to church in the morning. Gian got a new calling as the Executive Secretary. He's pretty excited about it. I'm sure he will do great!
Then we headed off to the Disneyland Hotel. We checked into the hotel and got settled and then headed off to California Adventure.
Unloading all our junk in the room.
A few rides in Bug's land was perfect for us.

Our next stop was to Goofy's Kitchen for a fun Father's day dinner. The food was yummy! Charlee was in the best mood...even with cutting her two top front teeth. She was so cute meeting the characters. She LOVED Minnie Mouse!

Tabitha was in heaven just looking at Jasmine's outfit. She is my sparkly, jewelry lovin' gal. She was totally mesmorized by all Jasmine's sparkly, goobily, shakey jewels. However, Tabitha did point out (rather loudly) that Jasmine has on a hoochie-choochie top.

Charlee's encounter with Minnie Mouse was priceless. Minnie was wiggling her nose and that's why Charlee is grabbing it. Minnie spent quite a bit of time with her and gave her lots of kisses. When Minnie walked away Charlee just watched everywhere she went.

Happy Father's Day Daddy!!! You're our Goofy guy!

The girls found these remote control boats and had fun trying to drive them around.

After a stop at the gift shop, it was beddy-bye time.

When we got up in the morning the first words out of the girls mouths was, "Can we go swimming now?" We spent the rest of our time at the pool. Sabrina loved going down the big slide. Tabi and Charlee hung out by the little slide and floated around with me and Gian.

This was the PERFECT trip for our family. There was no disputes, no whining....just lots of fun and laughter. We had such fun just hangin' out as our little family of five.

Happy Father's Day to all Dad's! I love you, Gian!

Looks like you guys have tons of fun. You have such a cute family. I was surprised to read how you wrote there was "no whining . . ." I thought, "What? Does Amy Sue's family ever have issues?" You guys look like you are always having so much fun and without conflict!
