Disneyland - Part 1

I believe Santa was too nice to us last year and brought us a trip to Disneyland. Way back in January of this year, we headed to Disneyland. Of course the kids were excited and so was I. It had been over 11 years since I had been to Disneyland and neither Colby or I had been to California Adventure. Two years ago we went to DisneyWorld, but it just isn't the same when you are 6 months pregnant and can't really do anything. This time around there was no baby in my belly which made it a lot more fun for me to spend time with the kids. You can't really tell from this picture, but Alivia hated this ride and screamed the whole time we were on it.

She was much happier in the teacups.

Look right into the sun and smile please.

This ride was definitely a favorite, but we only went on it once because the line was always so long.

We also only went on Mickey's Fun Wheel once because the kids HATED it.

It was a little chilly in the mornings, but by noon the weather was a perfect 70 degrees.

Audrey loved the fact that she could ride on the swings with me. Last summer at Lagoon she was about half an inch too short to ride their version.

Evan loved going on anything and everything he could and he was extremely disappointed if he was too short to go on a ride.

Our first day there we discovered that Evan was about a quarter of an inch too short to ride some of the "bigger" rides like Star Tours and Space Mountain. We were really disappointed the first day and had just decided such is life, but Colby decided on the second day we should try stuffing his shoes with napkins to see if we could make him tall enough. A few napkins in each shoe did the trick. Evan was able to go on so many more rides now that he was 40" tall. He really was much happier the rest of the time we were there.
