Disneyland

In addition to getting to play in the snow for the first time this month we also took the kids to Disneyland!! The boys were so excited to get to go and they were asking about it for weeks before we actually left. We made a 'quick' stop over in AZ to go to a friends' sealing though! It was the sweetest sealing I've ever been to. I know that Dale and Denise will be very happy together!

We left for California on Saturday morning with my Gramma. My mom and John were meeting us there. After a long day of driving we made it to the hotel! We spent the rest of Saturday relaxing and preparing for Disneyland!

We got up on Sunday morning and headed to the park! One of our first stops was the teacups. The boys rode with me and Jackson went with my mom. It was cute to see Jack so excited! The boys and I spun our teacup as fast as we could go! They loved it! Our next stop was to see Mickey Mouse. Daniel and Ryan were excited to see him. Jack didn't realize what was going on until we were in the room with Mickey! He kept trying to jump out of my arms to go to Mickey. When it was actually our turn he ran right up to say hi. The boys got nervous and wouldn't go stand by him though! Dang kids! I wish we had a picture of all of us with Mickey but it just didn't happen. Oh well! :) Jack loved seeing Mickey, he even gave him a kiss on the nose. It was the cutest thing I've ever seen!

The rest of the day was filled with rides and food and more rides! The boys LOVED Splash Mountain! The picture is priceless! Daniel's face is the best part! Splash Mountain was the one ride that they really wanted to go on more than once. I think it was their favorite!

Monday rolled around and we were at the park really early. We finished up riding all the rides that we didn't get to go on on Sunday. The Finding Nemo submarine ride was really cool. Jack loved looking out the little window at everything. All 3 of the kids liked riding on the Autotopia. It was cute to see Daniel trying to drive! I had to help him push the gas though because he couldn't reach. The other ride they both really liked was Star Tours. I didn't realize that they had changed it. It kind of made me sad...but it was still really neat!

Daniel really liked Indiana Jones too. He went twice, once with me and once with Peter. Ryan was very sad that he couldn't go, he was just a tad too short! Next time he'll get to go though!

We also went to California Adventure! They had more rides that the boys could ride than I thought they would. We really enjoyed it! We didn't get to do everything that we wanted to but we got to do most of it. The real reason we went was to see the World of Color water show that night. It was really cool. All of the kids liked it. Jackson was SO tried but he stayed awake and watched it too. :)

All in all we had a lot of fun! There were some tears shed and some fits thrown but that was to be expected! Jack was amazing both days. He even took a 2 hour nap while we were at Disneyland! We're already planning on going back in a few years when the boys are tall enough to ride all of the rides and Jack should be able to ride quite a few more! :)
