Disneyland!

In January, my parents treated our family to a trip to Disneyland.  They flew to Arizona, and from our home we drove the 6 hours to Anaheim, CA.  We had two days to have fun in the two parks at Disney.  Everybody had a blast. This was a great time of year to go - the weather was perfect, and the crowds weren't too bad.  I'm so glad that we got to experience Disneyland when the kids were at these ages (6, 4, and 2). Thank you so much for the vacation, Mom and Dad!
 
 
*Warning: there are a LOT of pictures (and they're all out of order).
 
We waited for an hour to see Merida

Ella was really tired at this point

Ella being grumpy about having to take a picture

 

Ethan's favorite thing at Disneyland was the train that rode past a dinosaur exhibit


 











 
lots of shoulder rides




 
Ariel was everywhere, even in the It's A Small World ride

The boys took a break while the girls were in more lines waiting to see princesses.




 
 
 


Gappo videotaped every single moment






 
 
Our hotel was about 2 blocks walking distance from the park.


"Me see you, Mommy!"

It was a miracle to get a picture of the castle without strangers in the shot.
