Disneyland

We had the opportunity to go to Disneyland for Father's Day Weekend. My brother had a conference to attend, so he and his wife turned it into a family vacation. We tagged along for the free hotel room and good company! It was so much fun!

This was Melissa and the boys first trip to California and Disneyland. We went to the garment district and Newport Beach on Friday, and then spent the next three days in Disneyland - and boy, did we have fun! The kids got into pin trading. Ethan was looking for Lightning McQueen, Woody, Jessie and Towmater pins. Taylor liked the Chip n' Dale, Goofy, and Pluto pins. It was fun to watch them trade with the Disney staff.

My favorite rides were "Soarin' Over California", "Pirates of the Caribbean", and "California Screamin". Taylor actually tried Indiana Jones again. The first time she went to Disneyland was for her 6th birthday. My parents took her on Indiana Jones for her first ride. She didn't care for rides anymore after that. I was surprised that she went this time. Way to go Taylor! Face your fears! Ethan's favorite ride was Space Mountain and Pirates. He loved those roller coasters. Carter loved Small World and the Tiki Room. He laughed and danced along with the birds and flowers as they sang.

Thanks guys, for sharing your vacation with us! We will remember it forever.

Isn't Disneyland the greatest?! So how did Taylor like Indiana Jones this time around? Hopefully a little better. Madi & I went on it together when we went to Disneyland in December & we loved it! Madi's first trip to Disneyland was for her 5th birthday. I love Pirates, too. I especially love the updates w/ Jack Sparrow popping up all over the place! Soarin' Over California is Brad's favorite ride.
