Just a few pics from our Disneyland trip. I can't believe it's already over:(
It's funny how things change over the years. Our kids weren't nearly as excited as they were the last time we went (except Makenna). At least they didn't seem to be. Maybe it had to do with having to get up at 5 am the morning we left:)
Wade having the time of his life on the tea cups.
Me, Makenna, Marquie, and good 'ol Mickey
California Adventure seems to have more rides that the teenagers like, so we spent a lot of time there. Last time we came, Makenna went on Tower of Terror and swore she would never do it again. Well we talked her into it- we thought she would like it now that she's a few years older. Big mistake. She hated it! I have never seen anyone so terrified. It was hilarious.
I can't remember where this was taken. Anyone know? Cute though.
Wade & I riding the tram where this humungous creature landed on my hand. I screamed louder than Makenna did in Tower of Terror.
By the time evening came on our first day, we were exhausted (because of the 5 am thing). The teenagers were ready to go to the hotel, but Makenna still wanted to ride Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. It was clear over on the other side of the park, but....
she got her way! Someone forgot to tell the teenagers that this is the happiest place on earth!!
On Saturday we took a break from the parks and went to Huntington Beach. It was fabulous. I think the kids may have liked it more than Disneyland.
After playing on the boogie boards in the water, we played volleyball on the beach and then went for a walk on the pier. There's a Ruby's Diner at the end of the pier so we stopped and had onion rings and shakes. Anyone who's ever been to a Ruby's Diner knows how yummy that was.
So I saved the best for last. In my opinion, to have the best Disneyland experience ever, you have to partake of all the yummy (but way too expensive) treats there. So we made a list of all the things we wanted to eat before the trip ended:

Frozen bananas and frozen lemonade
Churros
Carameled apples
Marquie and her warm toasted almonds
And our favorite: tortillas from the Mission tortilla factory. They were closed the first day. The second day they were only serving corn tortillas- they're okay. Finally on the last day we got our scrumptious warm flour tortillas. We could go home happy!
And we did!!

FUN!!!! Makes me so jealous! I love the picture of the kids at Thunder Mountain! So hilarious! Glad you're back safe!
Yay for Disneyland! I love your pictures. It truly is the happiest place on earth! Looks like you had a great time.
Your family is so cute! Looks like you guys had lots of fun!
First of all, I can't believe how tall Jace is getting. In that first pic, he is right up there with Jordan. Secondly, I SO wish I would've been there when a creature landed on your hand. Did you scream like a man? And third of all, I am like Marden.....I LOVE those warm, toasted almonds. Too bad you didn't bring me home any.
I LOVE Disneyland. When are we going again???? Glad you're back though.
So, so fun! I wish Jordan had his old man haircut in these pictures! I really want to go to Disneyland without my children so I can just go on all the fun rides over and over again.
Love the pictures! Looks like so much fun! My kids (me included) always really seem to love the beach more than DLand.
It is the happiest place on earth!! You lucky ducky! Love all the pics and I'm pretty sure the one with the rocks in the background is taken at Calif. Adventure it's on the other side of the Grizzley River run (the water ride)it has waterfalls and the big bear on the top sculpted out of rock. TOO fun!!!!
Oh it really is the happiest place on earth. I could live there. And I hope you rode the Midway Mania Toy Story ride in California Adventure because it is truly the best ride ever! I want one in my house when I grow up.
