Disneyland

We have been thinking and planning this big Disneyland trip for over 3 years now. It finally came on Sunday, September 14! We left our house at 7 a.m. and stopped in Barstow for some lunch at Chipotle. Then headed on to Huntington Beach. The beach was crazy busy, but we all had a really good time. Our kids really loved it!























After the beach, it was time to check into our house that we rented for the week. We unloaded, relaxed, ate dinner, and then a couple of us went to check out Downtown Disney. The house ended up being so awesome for all of us. We could relax, play games, play ping-pong, watch movies, cook, and most of all, have room to move around. I really enjoyed sending the kids to the ping-pong room to watch cartoons when they woke up at 6:30 am so I could sleep:)

Monday it was time for Disneyland!!! I’ll let the pictures do the talking, but all I can say is that we had SO much fun! The kids were amazing. They were all so brave to try the rides that they were tall enough for. It was beastly hot the whole time were there but they never complained. Grandma and Grandpa kept them cool with lots of frozen treats and the fan sprayers. They literally saved our life!






























Tuesday we went to California Adventure. Collin was about 1/4" too short for all the 40" rides so Chris stuffed his shoes so he was able to ride a lot more rides. He was surprisingly brave! He tried Hollywood Tower of Terror and didn't like it, but he never cried. We also saw the World of Color show at night.


































I love Adisyn's face in this picture! She loved all the rides, and was so sad when she wasn't tall enough. She couldn't ride Goofy's Sky School and was crying saying "I'm big as the sky, they not let me go" it was so sad!

Cars Land was so cool!



Wednesday we started out at California Adventure and re-rode our favorites: Hollywood Tower of Terror, Screamin’, and Soarin’. Then we spent the rest of the day at Disneyland. We may have lost Collin for about 5 minutes, but found him at the Baby Care Center, woops!














Big Thunder Mountain Railroad was a family favorite:




It's so sad to say good bye to Disney. We had an absolute blast! Three days of Disney gave us sore feet, and hot and tired bodies, but also a lot of memories we will all treasure. We were so lucky to have all the extra adults around to help us with our kids. Grandma and Grandpa spoiled the kids too much with treats and souveniers and they LOVED it! Thanks again Grandma, Grandpa, Candice, Kaden, Beau and Megan!!! Hopefully we can do it again when we have some more grand children to take ;)
