Disneyland

We just got back from our families first trip to DISNEYLAND!

Grandma & Grandpa helped us make that happen for our whole families Christmas gift. It was also mine and Kyle's gift to our kids this year. Everyone had a BLAST and it was totally worth the combined effort to make it happen.

THANK YOU!

Here is what we looked like on the LONG drive there. But we finally made it and had such a good time!



Splash Mountain!

I LOVED all the Christmas decor!


Lot's of shoulder rides! Grandpa was the best baby holdder ever!


Kaden is IN LOVE with Buzz but freaked out when he got close to him. Adison on the other hand LOVED meeting all the different characters. I love how she does her feet in pics!


He didn't freak out on the ride though - he LOVED it. Adia and I fought over who could go with him until we realized the 3 of us could all fit in together.

I kept trying to get the adults to look at the kids they were sitting with but all of them (besides me) were way too interested in getting points by shooting the silly guns! Dorks!

Adia and I on a fast ride that went down and around a mountain... not sure what it was called.


Jenny cracked me up - checking out her pictures before the ride was even over. She was a blast to be there with. I swear she knows that place better than I know the local mall. Crazy!

Daddy & Avery fighting their way through the park.

This is how the Middleton's keep entertained while we wait in the lines!

Adisons' favorite part for sure!



When I asked her who's castle it is she quickly said "mine"

I'll have to find the many shots of Kyle like this as a little guy.

Kaden was not feeling good at all while we were there but when he felt good - he felt REALLY GOOD!

Everything was so beautifully lit up for Christmas. I LOVED it!


Brad & Lindsey even stopped by to have some fun with us. Brad went on the Tower of Terror with the kids as well as the wet rapid ride (2x). Then G'ma and G'pa took the kids swimming at the hotel while the 4 of us went out for a nice dinner. It was a great treat to see them.



Everyones favorites...

Kyle - Pirates

Amy - California Soaring (or something like that)

Adia - Tower of Terror

Avery - The loop de loop ride (not sure what it's real name was but it's the roller coaster in CA adventure)

Kenyon - Indiana Jones and The Jungle Cruise (some random boat ride with tons of cheezy jokes)

Adison - The princesses & the honey pot ride


Kaden - Buzz

You make me want to go back! Looks like you all had a good time. We should ALL go together next time.... that would be crazy. Merry Christmas!

Terri we should NOT all go together. That would be insane. I love Disneyland. We are trying to go every year. At least until we get sick of it. It looks like you guys had a lot of fun!

So Fun! Glad you guys finally did it! The ride you are talking about that you don't know the name of is Carson's favorite-Matter Horn. He says "RAR" to the monster on that one.

One of the funnest (word?) two days I have had in a long long time. The kids were so exciting to be around. Good times. Plus extra fun at the IHOP.
