Disneyland!

Kyle and I had an amazing trip to California! Sunday morning the Halls and I flew out of PDX and we met up with Lindsey at our hotel (she flew in from Montana), which was only about half a mile from the park... the weather was amazing the whole week, sunny and in the mid 80's. Kyle flew in and joined us on Wednesday morning, and I was so glad to see him! It was sad how much I missed him after spending just a few days apart... I'm pretty spoiled. :)

Mom-in-law and future momma! :)

Sunday evening the girls went grocery shopping for the week and we relaxed and played card games... but the rest of the week was pretty much go go go! Monday was our first day at Disneyland and California Adventure, and our feet really hurt by the end of the day! It was a lot of walking, but totally worth it. We walked to the parks and stayed there most of the day, coming back only for some lunch.

The park was definitely all decked out for Halloween!

Walking in on our first day!

The view from our hotel balcony! You can see Paradise Pier from California Adventure in this pic, we could see Disneyland as well... it was awesome because we got to watch the firework show every night from the comfort of the couch!

Tuesday we did some shopping and everyone kind of did their own thing. We only had three days at Disney and didn't want Kyle to miss more than one so we went to the parks with him on Wednesday and Thursday.

The whole gang!

Story of my life this trip lol

The boys rocking the O!

Muppet show

Boys in their coonskin hats!

Sexy 3D glasses :)

The wait lines were not long at all, which was really awesome... and it wasn't so bad not being able to go on lots of the rides; I got to eat a lot of Churros! :)

On Friday we rented a car and drove to LA to go to Universal Studios, where I was quickly reminded that driving in LA rush hour traffic was not fun... but we made it and had a blast!

Hangin with the crew of Apollo 13... I'm not sure what Kyle and Bryan are doing :)

Trying to save Kyle from Jaws!

On Friday night, Rick and Sue treated all of us to Medieval Times, which was quite an experience! The food was great, but there was WAY too much of it... I was so stuffed when we left I could barely walk to the car! Our knight was the worst in the bunch, but that didn't make it any less fun to watch all the jousting action. :)

Saturday was another laid back day, so we shopped some more, played pool and shuffleboard, and watched lots of football. We went to Bubba Gumps for dinner for our last night in Cali... and even got to eat outside, which would not have been a very pleasant experience in Oregon!

Our last night



It was a fantastic trip, thank you to all present and future Halls for an amazing time! :)

My belly started to really show on the trip, and I was really excited because I started to feel the baby moving! It's very faint and feels like little butterflies... I can't believe she's going to be here in just 4 months!

I start four 10 hour shifts at work next week, and for November my day off is Monday, which means I get three day weekends! I have a lot planned for my days off, mainly getting baby stuff ready and in order... Kyle and I are going to start working really hard on our registries, and we'll definitely let everyone know when they're ready and finished. I had my official ultrasound today, and everything looks healthy and happy with baby Hall! :) I tried to take pictures of some of the pictures they gave me, but they're not the best quality... I'm going to try and figure out a way to scan them, and then I promise I'll post them! I also got my H1N1 vaccination today, which I was very relieved to get... now I'm as immunized as it gets!

I'm 21 weeks this week, which means that baby weighs about 14 ounces (almost a whole pound!) and is about 10.5 inches long; the length of a carrot, according to babycenter.com. Weird how they always compare them to fruit... last week she was a banana! :)

Alright, time for bed... I'm working another double tomorrow, and although I don't work them very often, it's still really exhausting... hopefully the ER will be nice to me!

Hope you all have a great week, and a safe and happy Halloween!
