DisneyLand

We had so much fun. It was not too busy on Friday, so that was good. But on Monday it was awesome. It rained all day long, and so we thought by noon we would be done, and so we would head home early. But it was the best day to go. Only those with non-refundable tickets go to DisneyLand on a rainy day, and there must not be that many. We put on our coats, paunchos and umbrellas and headed out, I wish I had a picture of that. We were able to walk on every ride, no wait. Rylee's favorite ride was Splash Mountain, she couldn't quit talking about it. Her least favorite was Space Mountain, too fast and too dark. It was my favorite, the visual is awesome. Drey's was Buzz Lightyear. He was sad he could not ride the bigger rides with Rylee, but we kept him busy with other rides. Javyn was such a good sport. He rode every ride he could, like it or not. Once he got used to the dark he loved it. His big blue eyes would fill with curiosity when we got on the ride, then fill with excitement. We took our kids on the Haunted Mansion and felt like the worst parents ever. They were so scared, I kept telling them it was just a fake movie to try and keep the calm through it. Nick's favorite ride was the Hollywood Hotel of Terror, it was my least favorite. I had already experienced this ride at Disney World and swore I would not do it again, but he should try it. I don't like rides that drop you, and I haven't been on one since. He went and came out saying how phenominal it was because of the story and affects, and the drops were not that bad, and that I HAD to go. LIAR, it was awful. I am sure I gave everyone on the ride something to laugh about as all I could do was scream "Please not again, let it be over". But we had so much fun, it is our new favorite place and we are already trying to plan our next trip. It is the Happiest Place on Earth.

We were coming out of the bathroom the same time as Pluto. The kids were so excited and ran over for a picture. After, Pluto grabbed their hands and skipped around Critter Land with them.

He became their new best friend

We are having a blast

We sat on the sidewalk, while eating dinner of course, for an hour to have a good spot for the parade. It was great.

Sleeping Beauty's Castle was beautiful. All the lights were awesome.

We sat on the sidewalk for another hour waiting for fireworks. The kids had completely given out by this time.

But of course I made them wake up for the fireworks, though I don't think they got much out of it.

Rylee had to wear her Sleeping Beauty costume, so Drey had to wear Spiderman.

Rylee's favorite princess is Sleeping Beauty, and she was so excited to see her that she was speechless.

The kids new favorite thing to do is bowl. The morning we left Nick asked Drey if he was ready to go home, Drey said no he wanted to go bowling.

It was so cold at the beach. I thought it was funny to be at the beach, running in the waves, with our pants rolled up and our coats on.

Building a sand castle. Nick would not let the cold stop us from having fun.
