Disneyland!!


I hate that these didn't upload in order. So I will do my best to describe them. We just got back from our family Disenyland trip. This was such a fun trip. It was hard to leave. We left Brielle at my parent's house (which we were so thankful for), and it was so nice to not have to worry about a baby to carry around. Brecklynn squeaked by (with a couple inch lifts) to be able to ride some of the larger rides. The kids all loved it. 

The kids were given the trip as part of their Christmas but we didn't tell them that we were flying until we were driving to the airport. Their faces were hilarious. Our flight was early at 7:25 in the morning. We over compensated for the time and were there way early. The kids LOVED the whole flying experience. We got to California about 8 and it gave us time to get a rental and get to the hotel and over to Disneyland. We went with our good friends the Pecks who have kids the same ages as ours. 

The first day was a bit cold but was so nice. 

Toy story ride in California. I hadn't gone on it before. It was quite fun.








 This was after the plane and in the rental. Ridge crashed.They had been up so early already.



 Brecklynn like the characters from afar. Wasn't sure about the upclose and personal :)
 We ate at the Blue Bayou one evening. Its inside The Pirates ride.
 At the new Car's ride, Ridge has a bridge named after him :)

 We made the kids all matching shirts for the trip. So here was the first day shirts.




 Brecklynn's favorite ride is Ariel. We rode it no joke probably 16 times and that still wasn't enough. She loves waving to Ariel
 Plane ride there.


 Star tours!
 Cambree's first scream over california experience. She didn't quite like it
 Brecklynn and I got to spend a lot of time together just her and I. I acutally loved it. We did a lot of little things together.

 In the hotel on our last night.






 Ridge got to do the Jedi fighting on the last day. He was so excited.




 2nd day shirts




 Waiting to rush in for Car's land.
 Ridge's certificate for fighting Darth Vador
 Tower of Terror. Cambree was in my lap the whole time and Brecklynn was stone faced. Ridge loved it. Not quite how I pictured each of the kids doing :)




 Pirates!!












 Jason kept trying to break the ice with Brecklynn by 'kissing' her. By the last day she was playing back and I think Jason awoke his new best friend :).







 Space mountain was another favorite but you'd never know it by Cambree's face

 Brecklynn thought she was being so funny in this picture.





 The ride there.




 This was waiting in the airport to go home. It was such a fun trip. We are already trying to figure out when to go again. Love this time when its so magical for the kids. Makes it so fun for me.
