A Little More Disney

As promised, more Disney fun!

This was the first ride we rode. A good beginner -
 it's been a long time since I spun in a circle while going up and down!

Sometimes we felt more like a daycare than a family, but it was worth it!

Excited for Indiana Jones… my favorite ride!

All the kids thought it was much for fun to ride in the "other" stroller.

This may just look like a little girl taking a break from standing in line (yes, on the yucky pavement),
but in actuality, she's throwing a fit - something she got very good at on this trip (but we still love her and brought her back home with us).

This was my sister Lindsay's favorite ride growing up. Cade however, wasn't too sure about all the  banging from side to side. As a kid I just thought I was a bad driver, now I know that no one can keep those things straight!
(Cade thought we were intentionally driving all over the road which didn't make him very happy.)

A quick shot with Pluto.

Group shot in front of Goofy's kitchen where the kids get to eat from a kid-friendly buffet while Disney characters come around to visit. Lots of fun!

End of the day for McCall. She hardly EVER falls asleep unless she's in bed,
 but she hit the point of exhaustion several times throughout the trip and gave up.

Family picture, minus Ammon who went to go get fast passes for all of us!

Of all the rides in the park, I think the kids had the most fun with this water ball thing. They play by it for almost an hour while we took turns riding Space Mountain.

Making the most out of our last day there, we stayed to watch the fireworks.
In the meantime, we rode Tea Cups several times, which McCall loved!

Riding Dumbo

Cade had a certain Mickey that he kept telling us he wanted as his souvenir and I was worried we wouldn't find it amongst the hundreds of shops, but he spotted it in a little cart the last couple hours we were there. Here he is after purchase, waving for the camera. 

Cade's very into silly faces for the camera…why not?

Cade's end of the day.

Cute shot with Grandma and Grandpa.

LeAnn's family

It's a Small World…how true it is.

Disney Magic

I've finally sat down to start a series of posts of our Disneyland trip! Between 3 cameras, we had over 800 pictures accumulatively, so it's taken me a while to sort. These are in no particular order but hopefully you'll get a glimpse of our adventures in the 'happiest place on earth!'

Classic picture in front of Mickey

Shopping for just the right souvenir 

Love this picture! What could be better than Lightning McQueen pajamas, and Mickey Mouse ears,
especially when you're 4 years old!

Also a favorite pic. He's looking out the hotel window after a day at the park.
Again,  Lightning McQueen on bottom, and Mickey on top!

A little tractor tipping

A little photo shoot with Mater

Family picture at an outdoor mall after enjoying dinner at Cheesecake Factory! Yum!

I'll admit, this smile is fake… the kids were NOT fans of standing in line, and this one was particularly long. After several fits, she looked like...

…this.

He was pretty good, but still had a hard time understanding the concept of waiting in line.

These bad boys (referring to the tickets) are like gold in California  Adventure.  Fast passes to Radiator Springs Racers.
Brett and Ammon stood in line for 45 minutes to get these, then we stood in the Fast Pass line for 35 minutes to get on the ride! What we don't do for our children.

To be continued...
