Disneyland and California Adventure:

Did you know?

that chickens and roosters...

(Just kidding I think this is a cute picture)

Mickey Mouse Pretzel

Danny's Birthday Badge.

When the workers saw it they would say Happy Birthday Danny!

Olivia rode the carousel, while we took turns riding California Screamin.  She was 2" to short and sobbed because she couldn't ride it.  She is for sure one that likes thrills and roller coasters.

It's almost our turn

and we our off for an adventure

I loved how the kids would talk about the last ride while we were waiting in lines.

This is Olivia's favorite ride Space Mountain!!!!

We took a break and ate some lunch.

Life is good with a sandwich a smile and a little tiny crack :)

Danny on the carousel.

A snack break

Maddi taking it all in.

Olivia and I rode this ride.  After Tower of Terror she thought this ride was kinda boring.

This was the first ride we rode and after this one Logan and I had to take some Dramamine ;{

Having some dinner.

We ate at this fun restaurant the Rain Forest.  Danny was scared though it had fake animals in it and it scared him.  Elephants, monkeys, snakes and a real life aquarium.  It was unique!

Riding the swings

This swing ride was second to my least favorite ride.  It was kinda scary!

Logan and the other two were in another basket!  We are in a bugs life land.

Okay this was the family favorite!!!!  Other than poor Libby who couldn't ride it.  (too short)  Libby says when she grows two more inches we have to go back so she can ride this ride.

Maddi and me getting ready to take off :0)

I love this Man.  Thanks to him my dreams came true the day we got married!

I feel bad my head is blocking Olivia.Our family loves roller coasters.  They are the BEST.

Tink and the kids.

Arriving at our Hotel...

The kids first roller coaster ride.  I have to say it was pretty fun it was in tune town.  A small roller coaster but pretty fast.

The kids out for a cruise in their car.

Going exploring!

Some of our favorites:

Adventure

Churros

Roller Coasters

Family Time

Not so favorites:

Tower of Terror

Indian Jones

(for Olivia and Danny)  It wasn't so much the ride as the music and the scary things to look at.  They did ride them and I was happy they did!

Some Tips:

If we ever go the same time of year, take more than one sweatshirt.  By the end of three days our sweatshirts could have walked the park all by themselves ;)

Take two strollers or three if possible.  There legs got so tired.  However it all worked out with ours and then renting one.

For sure take your own snacks and drinks, and lots of pictures.

“Come to the edge.”
“We can't. We're afraid.”
“Come to the edge.”
“We can't. We will fall!”
“Come to the edge.”
And they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew.
Guillaume Apollinaire, 1880-1918

This poem was true for our whole family.  We all did things we haven't done before and we were a little afraid but guess what, when we got a little push we ended up flying.  Step out side of your comfort zones and you will find that there is endless possibilities!
