Disneyland

"Happiest Place on Earth"

This was Mark's saying anytime the kids started to whine... it worked most of the time.

We took a little trip to Disneyland. We had a great time. The kids did great in the car... we only had to stop at every gas station we passed to have a bathroom break but we eventually made it. We stayed the first night at Todd and Anna's time

share in Las Vegas. The condo had awesome pools. That afternoon we left for Anaheim, CA and then spent 3 days at Disneyland. We also got to visit Lee and Sara good friends in California... always fun.

Mark's favorite part of Disneyland was the reasonable prices of everything...oh wait I meant... the fun atmosphere, Pirates of the Caribbean and The California Screamer.

My favorite part was how happy the kids were and my favorite ride was in California Adventure... Soaring over California... loved it.

Jacob's favorite part was The California Screamer... The big roller coaster. As it started to go I couldn't believe I actually let my little boy go on this ride. I thought for sure he was going to be crying... I couldn't have been more wrong. He came running down the ramp saying "That was Awesome...can we do it again." He liked everything about Disneyland... he had a constant smile.


Iree's favorite part of Disneyland was her cousin Nate and the parade. We had great seats for the parade and many of the princesses came right up to her and waved. She said, "Mom they are waving at me." She also loved the princess story time and getting the signatures of all the characters in the park.
I made one huge error in taking her on Space Mountain... I had never been on the ride and she met the height requirements so I just took her with me. She was petrified... I am pretty sure she fainted... It was too dark to tell but she let out one scream and then went limp... I had to hold her head the rest of the time. After that we just did the little kid rides with her and she had a blast.

Mason's favorite part was the Tiki Room... He danced the whole time. He was a trooper... he just went everywhere we went and had a huge smile most of the time. He liked accompanying Iree in her venture for signatures. Iree was a little hesitant going up to the variety of Charaters so Mason was the one to hand Goofy the signature book and then pose for a picture.
