Disneyland 08'

Yahoo! We went to Disneyland this week and it was sooo fun. My parents, the kids and I left Monday morning at 6am and we went straight to the park. The fun part was that we didn't tell Maggie where we were going until we got in the car so she had no idea and she was so excited. The first day we did California Adventure which was okay, but it was so hot!

Check out the pose and imagine her saying "razzle dazzle!" I think she got that from Yo Gabba Gabba

Lucas was a hot mess. We are not used to the humidity and I had them in pants thinking it was going to cool off...not so much. Notice Maggies shirt is soaked in the back thanks to the river ride which we all got soaked on.


Little Violet did so good the whole time


"Razzle dazzle!"

The new Toy Story ride was so much fun, probably more so for the adults than the kids


This picture was taken maybe 5 minutes after I gave him that lollipop, he ate it in less than 10min easy.


This is Lauren and Maggie, she was a girl Maggie met on the Soarin over California ride

On Tuesday we went to Disneyland and we felt like we were home. I like Cali. Adventure but it's just not the same as good ol' D-land. When we first walked in we saw Mickey Mouse and Lucas wanted nothing to do with him so Maggie and I got a pic.(sorry about the head cut off)



This is Maggie and Kylie, another girl she met while in line for the princess autographs and pictures


This princess (Aurora) was the most beautiful girl and she talked and acted just like a real princess, it was so cute to watch.





Grandma and Grandpa, we loved the train. Haven't been on it since I was in highschool so it was fun to relax and enjoy the ride.


Good ol' Goofy, Lucas was fine as long as my mom held him.


Lucas loved the roller coaster in toon town, they rode it twice.

"razzle dazzle!" We had so much fun and it was the best Disneyland trip we've had in a long time. The weather on Tues. was perfect and the lines were so short, we walked onto every ride and the longest wait was actually Peter Pan. Can't wait to go again but I think we'll wait a couple of years.

Lucas was having a meltdown because we wouldn't let him eat candy for breakfast.

"razzle dazzle!" This is her new thing, it makes me laugh everytime.


On Wed. morning we went to the Sugar Shack for a yummy breakfast and then walked down the pier and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. I love the beach.






So on the ride home I turn around to find Lucas asleep like this..


and Maggie like this...

All in all it was short and sweet. I'm so jealous of all the locals who get to go to Disneyland when ever they want. I'm so glad we were able to go and have such a great time. Thanks Mom and Dad for everything!

Looks like so much fun! Oh, to be in California right now! Little Maggie is a mini you. She is so cute! Yes, we're doing baby wise. How long did it take for little Violet? Bray had a couple good nights and now we are back to where we started, up all night, sleep all day. Little guy is a rock in the daytime. It's impossible to wake him! :) We're stickin to the plan though.

It looks like Disneyland was a ton of fun. How could it not be when you didn't have to wait in any lines. Violet is so adorable (so are your other kids) there is just something about little baby girls that is so stinkin cute!

I heart Disneyland! I want to go so bad, but Matt says not until it cools off. Maggie is such a sweetie and I can't believe how much she looks like you. I am glad you got to get away.
