Disney Trip 2012: Day 1

Finally I have decided to write about the Disneyland trip! About time, I know!
So here goes! I will do one post per day of the trip so that it's not just a huge string of photos.
Day One -Tuesday August 7th
We stayed up at my mom's apartment in Pocatello on Monday night and woke bright and early Tuesday morning. We were on the road around 5:30 am. This landed us in Cove Fort Utah in perfect time for lunch (just as we had planned). So we did the tour through the fort and then went to the picnic area and made lunch and let the kids run for a while. It was a very good break and a really interesting place to see. The day was spent in the car coloring Disney themed pictures and playing license plate bingo. We stayed the night in Barstow, California where we ate dinner at a really neat little place that was set up to look like a train station. It had gift shops, restaurants and a convenient store inside and the table were all inside buildings that looked like trains. It was pretty cool. Towards the end of the day, about an hour before getting to Barstow, the kids started getting pretty restless so we pulled out a game that we had prepared for this. Pipe cleaner charades! We each got the same amount of pipe cleaners and had to make something, Disney themed of course, out of them. Then mom guessed what each of them were. It was a lot of fun, and the kids really liked playing with the pipe cleaners.
