We LOVE Disneyland!!

We went to Disneyland last week and had soooo much fun! I just love seeing the excitement in the kids when we are there spending good family time together! We left on Friday evening spent the night in Las Vegas, then drove to Disneyland Saturday morning to stay until Wednesday. Then Wednesday came and we decided we didn't want to do a few hours in the park and then drive all the way home.  So we decided to drive home Thursday instead and got to spend the whole day in the park Wednesday!

This year we had tons of firsts: We tried some yummy new food (which is Brandon and my favorite part!). The girls were tall enough to go on the big rides, Ashlyn can now go on everything and her new favorite ride is California Screamin!! Brooklyn really surprised us and went on Tower of Terror, Space Mountain, and Splash Mountain. Brooklyn LOVED splash mountain! She was so cute and proud of herself to go on the big rides. Parker did so good I was quite amazed because he is so busy at this age and such a crazy boy but as long as he had food in his hand while in the lines, we were golden. As soon as he could see the ride he would point and say "ride."  He thought he was so big to sit on the rides, he'd hold onto the seat bar then when it was about done he'd know exactly what to do and would push up on the bar to get ready to get off. We had such a great time! We found a new little snack restaurant we like to eat at now too and of course ate our usual snacks too; churros, corn dogs, skewers, and popcorn! We went to Minni's breakfast and will totally do that again. We saw so many characters and the breakfast was so yummy!! Parker is in love with Mickey Mouse so every time he would see a Mickey he would say "Mee Mow!!" and get all excited. The best part though was when he met Eeyore and gave him a pound on the nose! It was so funny Eeyore was kind of amazed I just know he was laughing inside! :)

We took the girls to Bippity Boppity Boutique. It's where they get to get all done up like a princess so they picked out a princess dress and accessory, then got their hair, make up, and nails done. It was so fun watching their little faces beam as they were turned into princesses...a little girls dream come true! That was so fun for the girls! The weather was just perfect to top it all off! Mostly 80's and up to 93 one of the days.  We had so much fun we can't wait to go back!! Oh and PS we are now Annual Passholders so we can go anytime!! Its quite exciting for Brandon and me (it's the geeky-ness in us I guess)! Did I mention we love Disneyland and can't wait to go back!! :)
