Disneyland


Juli and I put on the girl's custom made Mickey ears. We had to get a photo!

Getting ready for the nightly parade. Olivia rushed out there to boogie with the characters. The kids said it was one of the highlights of the whole trip, besides Kaleb's birthday, of course!

We were able to catch a lot of characters in Cal Grand Adventure to get autographs. The kids rushed from one to another, getting signatures and photos. The lines weren't too bad and each character was very nice and accomodating! Pluto was the funniest. He kept playing tug-of-war with Kaleb's book and sealed it with a slobery kiss!

The kids had the most wonderful time in the pool. We would hit the park and then head to the pool mid-day and then back to the park. They played tag, motor boat, you name it! We had such a great time and even were able to get a little tan.

Olivia and I at tha Autopia. Can I say...lame ride? After waiting for about 25ish minutes it was a really boring ride, although I know that she isn't anywhere near getting her lisence! She was banging into the curb left and right before she realized that she would let me drive....thank goodness!!

Blake and I on the matterhorn. He loved this ride. It was the first more adventurous ride we did. It's hard to remember Disneyland when I was a kid, so this was all that much more fun...is that correct grammar? Oh well! You get the point.

Here are the kids in front of the hotel fountain. When we first got there we told them it was the swimming pool, surprising enough they were excited! Guess excitement was just in the air while we were there.
We had a wonderful time making memories together! The kids got a long very well, considering we were together non-stop for 5 whole days and nights. Olivia nd Blake had their first airplane ride there and thought that was pretty cool. Bless Blake's heart, he thought in order to land we had to put on a parachute and jump out of the plane. I had the hardest time not laughing when he asked me about it and he said he was a little scared. I would've been really scared if that was the case...how'd I get all of our suitcases strapped on my back without plummeting to the ground? Overall we had the most wonderful vacation...no, we are just ready for summer and planning others!
