As a treat to ourselves for becoming mortgage free we headed off on a family trip to Disneyland. To sum up the trip.......awesome! As a family we had so much fun. Here are some photos from our adventure.
Mickey, Pluto, Noah, and Isaiah are here to welcome you to Disneyland....and salute you!
We found a huge Lego store in Downtown Disney. Here's Noah climbing on the biggest Lego block we had ever seen.
There was even a talking Darth Vader made out of Lego inside the store. I thought it was funny that Noah looked like he was holding a light saber in this photo and was also wearing a Star Wars shirt.
Outside California Adventure Park they have all the letters to spell California. It worked out so well that there are an 'N' and an 'I' side by side. Here are the kids posing with their new stuffies beside their letters. Oh, Greg is acting as blocker so I can take this picture.
Here's Isaiah with his new Pluto beside his 'I'.
Here's Noah with his new Mickey inside his 'N'.
We met Pluto.....here they are giving him five!
We also had a family picture with Pluto.......Noah just can't seem to keep his eyes open!
We met Mickey a couple of times. Here the kids are in his house having their picture taken with him.
See, here's another Mickey.....again Noah with the eyes closed. I never realized how short Mickey was!
Here are the boys by the statue of Walt Disney and Mickey out front of the castle. Too bad the weather was terrible this day (ha ha)!
Isaiah on King Arthurs Carousel. This was one of his favorite rides. His most favorite ride was Pirates of the Caribbean. No, he wasn't scared of it....which surprised me. I would post photos but we weren't supposed to take photos on that ride. I'm pretty sure we rode Pirates at least 20 times and the Carousel at least 10 times. He was so happy!
It's not Disneyland unless you take a ride on Dumbo. We rode Dumbo a few times.....this time Zay picked a green Dumbo.
Noah and I picked a blue Dumbo.
We also had to go on the teacups too. Here are Greg and Zay getting ready for their big teacup spin.
We also went over to California Adventure Park and rode on Mickey's Fun Wheel. Zay and I loved it.
Greg also loved this ride (not). I guess he's not a fan of being up high and swinging back and forth. Noah liked it though.
Isaiah posing for the camera.
Greg looking thrilled to be on Fliks bumper bugs. Either that or he's really afraid of Noah's driving.
Isaiah and Greg in line for Heimlichs Bugs Life ride. Probably the most boring ride our whole trip but the kids liked it.
There were two rides Noah and Greg went on that Noah HATED. The first was Indiana Jones. Apparently the snakes and stuff were too scary. This was the other ride he didn't like, the water ride at California Adventure Park. If you look closely you can see just how much he is not enjoying himself. I guess he didn't want to get wet. Oh well, he dried quickly!
Noah and Greg went on Soaring over California and while they did that Isaiah and I managed to find a few friends. Here he is with Chip and Dale.
Then he was lucky enough to meet Goofy. He thought Goofy was the best!
I also wanted to meet Goofy so here I am. Lucky me!
We were also able to go visit Radiator Springs!
Lucky for us Mater and Lightning McQueen were in town and posed for some pictures.
We visited with a talking Mr. Potato Head while waiting in line for the Toy Story Boardwalk Games ride. While I'm taking this picture he's actually talking to Noah. He said, "Hey, you in the red shirt!". That was pretty neat.
We also went to Disneyland at night. Here we are at the entrance to Disneyland. The train station is in the back and here is Mickey's face made entirely of flowers.
The boys and I on Main Street.
Another one of Isaiah's favorite rides was Astro Orbitors. Him and I spent a lot of time on this ride while Greg and Noah rode Space Mountain and Star Wars. Don't ask me why he loved it but he did.
The entrance to Main Street during the day. How pretty!
Buzz Lightyear out front of Astro Blasters.
Greg intently attempting to beat my high score in Astro Blasters. He never did beat my score while I was there. He claims to have beat it when he went on this ride with Noah but I wasn't there so there is no proof!
Noah in Tarzan's Treehouse.
Isaiah in Tarzan's Treehouse.
I really wanted to get these Goofy toques for the kids but seriously $30? So, we settled for a picture of them wearing them instead.
Noah's two favorite rides were Space Mountain and this one, Thunder Mountain Railroad. He was a little scared in the beginning but by the 20th or so time he rode this rollercoaster he felt comfortable enough to ride with his hands up. If you look you'll see him with his hands up. Like Mother like Son!
This was the view from our hotel room.....that white peak in the background is the Matterhorn. So, we were right across the street from Disneyland. It was great being so close that we could walk. Next time I'll add photos of the water park at our hotel.
Finally, the flight home......after 5 long days in California it was time to come home. The boys were a little bit tired but had an awesome time. Next time Noah says we'll have to go to Disneyworld. Oh boy, I can't wait!
