Disneyland


Our third attraction in California was Disneyland, of course! Here we are waiting in line to buy our tickets. Little did we know this was the beginning of two days of waiting in line. Waiting in line for rides, waiting in line to buy food, waiting in line to pay for parking, waiting in line to have our bags checked, waiting in line to have our tickets scanned, and even waiting in line for the bathroom.

But don't get me wrong, we have a great time!!! It has been forever since I have been to Disneyland and I really enjoyed it! The weather was great, and with the park open from 8:00am -12:00pm we were able to go back to the hotel each day and have a nap and then stay up late. We left Hannah home which meant we were one of the few people in the park without a stroller. A great advantage with so many people. Owen and Matthew were the perfect age and tall enough to ride almost everything.


Kristin right before we ascended to go on the Matterhorn.


Matthew was in heaven eating his suckers all day.

Owen decided on what he called "a Mickey Mouse light-saber"


Kristin threw a fit and wouldn't leave the store until I bought her this.


The second day we planned everything out so we could maximize the lack of lines during the morning. I took the boys to Fantasyland, which we realized has huge lines after noon. But we did all the rides first thing in the morning in about 1.5hrs. Here we are in Casey Jr's train.


Here are the boys waiting for the Main St. Parade.

Really they were both happy, I just thought these shots were funny. The switch of emotion between them.


Kristin bought this yummy treat.



I think the boys enjoyed the parade, but they had stoic faces the whole time. It was funny to watch. We had a great time, and can't wait to come back with Hannah in a few years!

I keep on remembering Disney land and how I had so much fun there! Really it is the "happiest place on earth" just joking. But that tiki room and midnight did give me some weird dreams! Thanks for those good memories!!

Owen looks like he's playing some serious jedi mind tricks with that mickey mouse light saber. Will you take Lily when you go back with Hannah? JK.
