Our Disneyland trip!! :)

Wayne said I should plan something when the kids had a break from school to go somewhere warmer.... So this is what we did!
Kind of a last minute trip (I booked it about a week and a half before we went). I kept it a surprise from everyone (Wayne guessed a few days before when he saw me buying mickey mouse t shirts).
I checked the girls out early from school and we were off. It was a long drive, but we broke it up stopping at Las Vegas on our way through both ways. And we survived with some fun new coloring books, stickers, and activites.
We finally made it to Disneyland about 1 pm on our 1st day. We are all decked out in our cute Mickey stuff... couldn't convince Wayne to get even a Mickey hat... but he did get a California one. We had fun looking at everything and going on a few rides.
 

Finding Nemo submarine, Autotopia cars, Buzz lightyear, Space Mtn, Teacups amd Splash Mtn.
We had fun visiting Toontown and had Minnie and Mickey sign our backpacks/lunchboxes.

 

 

 

Anna and David don't like scary rides, but they love the teacups!!

Megan is our thrill seeker, she loved Space Mtn and probablly rode it 6 times. :) Mommy and Daddy like it too!

They had fun playing at Tarzan's treehouse. Anna was a good climber!! She loved doing it.

The 2nd day we went to California Adventure. We thought we had an early start getting there just a little after the park opened....wrong! The lines for the Cars ride were already way long. We waited for about 45mins to ride on Mater's junkyard jamboree. It was fun, we would have done it again if we didn't have to wait... the kids aren't so good at waiting. But we survived. We met a nice family who told us a better way to go to get to the Temple and beach so that was good.

David was pretty excited when we finally got to go on the ride!

Cars Land is pretty cool, we were lucky to get to see it!

Next we headed over to Bugs Life land. The kids liked all the little rides, they didn't like th 3d movie, with special effects but I sure did!

Wayne and I both went on the Tower of Terror. Megan was going to but she saw the little Twilight Zone movie and it scared her, so she changed her mind. We treked across the park to go on some more rides. This little umbrella stroller got used and abused, our spoiled kids!! Daddy was a trooper, he'd push the stroller but wouldn't wear the Pink Minnie mouse backpack ;). 

Ice Cream!! It was such nice weather, we all got a little hot!

We found Buzz and Woody, and Wayne and I went on a fun roller coaster. The girls rode the carosel, then Wayne and I got seperated and couldn't find each other for awhile.. (my cell phone died). We found each other though.

 

And we rode on the Little Mermaid, a cute little ride.
Then we went over to the Red woods challenge course. They loved climbing around the rope bridges, and going on slides. Anna and Megan both rode on the "fire jump" a little zipline. Then we had fun on Soarin Over California, Anna even got brave and went on it. The girls and I rode it a couple of times, it was so fun. It felt like you were flying over all the California landmarks. It made Wayne a little sick though. We enjoyed watching the World of Color Show and then went on the Toy Story ride... it was a long day, but lots of fun. The next day we went to The Los Angelas temple and to Santa Monica beach. It was a beautiful day, with very nice weather, we even played in the ocean a little. The beach was a pretty one, and I'd like to visit there again someday. :)
