A Nice Break From Reality

So, we went to Disneyland. (Did you hear?)

It was magical.

(No, really, it was!)

We spent 5 (!) days in the Happiest Place on Earth, and it really was a great time. There were only a few meltdowns, only a little rain, no crowds at all, and plenty of Disney magic. I will spare you all 700 pictures we took, but I can't help but share a few favorites...

Jay and Betsy ... rockin' the ears!

Dex on the Bumper Cars with Grandma

Calvin enjoying his ice cream in Gibson Girl (which is where I saw my 2nd famous person of the trip: Paul Stanley from KISS (sans makeup)).

Natalie showing Darth Maul who's boss

Bea crashing Goofy's car in Toon Town

And, the classic Disneyland picture

Thanks for the memories, Big D! We'll see you again in 2013 (fingers crossed)!

Avengers in the House!

There is no safer place than the Fear household, now that the Avengers have arrived!

Natalie battled the forces of evil as Iron Man:

Bea wielded Thor's mighty hammer:

And Dexter and Calvin both wanted to save the world as Captain America:

It was a great Halloween, with a trunk-or-treat party at church on Friday, and then Halloween in Disneyland on Monday! Disneyland pictures will follow ... (don't get too excited!) Hope everyone had a great holiday and didn't stuff themselves too full of candy corn. :)
