DISNEYLAND!

Well, be prepared for lots of pictures. We had a fabulous time. The kids love it--even the babies got to ride on lots of things! We were so grateful that Grandma Lillie could come with us. She was a big help, but we hope she had a good time as well! The weather was perfect, the Parks were not very crowded and we can't wait to go back...someday!!

We left on Sunday, the 19th. The kids really liked the airplane. We thought they would be REALLY interested in looking out the window, however, we soon discovered that the glare from the window interrupted their TV watching, so the window stayed closed most of the trip. Oh well, at least they were occupied!


When we arrived, we went to the beach. Here is Balboa Island. We walked out on the pier before spending time in the water.




The kids loved the water!!!


Sand...everywhere!!!


Day 2--Let the fun begin!!!
We are here at LAST!!!!

The Halloween Decorations were fun!

Jacob and the Sword in the stone.

Our first ride!

Day 3--California Adventure
I loved how they used candy corns as "A's"

Logan was so excited to see Minnie, he kept reaching out and tried to kiss
her nose. It was so cute!


Bug's Life Land
The babies got to ride on lots here. They really had a good time.
Mr. Potato Head at the Toy Story Ride. Way cool!!


Last stop before going back over to DisneyLand.

Hannah started getting a little braver about the characters.

Nice, cool ice cream treat!

Pirate's Island--of course there are some random people in the back! We found the treasure after searching through lots of caves!

Shopping!!

Day 4--We're ready for the last day of our trip!

Yes, Jacob HAD to get the Mickey hands!
Since we went on most everything the kids wanted the 2 days before, they wanted to get autographs of the characters. They got lots before we had to leave and catch our plane. The next pictures are of them and the characters.

Snow White

Thanks for sharing your blog with us. Lance told me about you guys going to Disneyland. I am sure that you went at the best time of the year - we always seem to go when it is too crowded! Plus the Halloween Decorations and costumes look so much fun. I can't believe the twins are already in nursery!! What a CUTE family! (can I add your blog to mine?)

You were so smart to go the week after fall break. It's looks like you had a blast! How fun to see all of your pictures. I can't wait to go back again.
