D is for Disneyland

After much anticipation- we finally took the kids to Disneyland. It was such a great trip. The kids had a ball & made everything so fun. Except for the part where Owen didn't want to walk anywhere...besides that they were so good! Here are some of the highlights: Even though I was SO excited for this trip (I couldn't sleep the nite before!) I was NOT excited for the car ride. But the kids did awesome-we were pleasantly surprised. When we first got to California we headed to the beach. It was a little chilly but that didn't stop the kids from playing in the water. Owen was a little nervous at first-he wasn't quite sure what to think of the waves. But after awhile he was right there in the middle of it all. Of course Mickey Mouse was a big hit. Owen just stared & didn't say a word :0) This is a perfect time of year to go. It was not crowded at all. We didn't hardly wait in any lines. We even rode Splash Mountain 5 times in a row without getting off the log! We got to see pretty much all the characters we wanted. Almost all the princess', Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Mr. Incredible, FroZone, Mater & Lighting McQueen (Owen freaked out!), Queen of Hearts & White Rabbit, Pluto, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, & TinkerBell. It was fun to see it all through our childrens eyes, to see how excited they were & how much fun they were having. The kids even had a great time on most the rides. Averee did better this trip, but she was still pretty scared to go on very many things. Adee was completely the opposite (as usual). She went on everything she was tall enough for including: Splash Mountain, Big Thunder RailRoad, Tower of Terror, & Space Mountain. It was awesome! She loved it so much & it was fun to see her having such a good time. We got some pretty weird looks each time we took her on the Tower or Terror :0) I am sure everyone thought we were such mean or bad parents-but she loved it & so did we! She cried for 10 minutes cuz she was too short for Screamin at California Adventure...but maybe next time!

We had a great trip and fit so much into so little time. We went to Disneyland, California Adventure, Knotts Berry Farm, the beach, swimming pool, & a science museum. The kids were completely bushed each nite-love it! Danny's brother Ryan & his cute family came too & we were able to spend most our time together-awesome! Nothing better than cousins & Disneyland! My parents & sister Alesha came too which made it even more fun. They are the best & my kids adore them. Thanks guys!
