Vacation Part 3: Disneyland

During the first week of April we went to California for a few days and spent 2 days at Disneyland with Ben’s family.  I had been prepping the kids for this trip for over a year by reading them all the Disney books, watching all the Disney movies, and watching Disneyland rides on YouTube, so they were SUPER excited to go.  They saved up all the money they were given for birthdays and we had a garage sale to help pay for everything.  We definitely had a good time and I am so glad we were able to go.  The kids had such a good time that they have been talking about the trip non-stop for the last month.  They even make their own Disneyland Park maps and rides at our house.

The kids with most of their cousins in Toon Town. Waiting to see Minnie Mouse. When we first got to Disney all Westley wanted to do was find Mickey Mouse until he went on his first ride … then all he wanted to do is go on rides.  He was SOO fun and he even went on the kid roller coaster in Toon Town. (Jenna went to.) I do not know how Charlotte fell asleep with everything going on around her but somehow she did. The Tea Cups!  This ride was talked about for months leading up to the trip and I think West ended up going on it at least three times. I wish I had more pictures but our camera battery died so we have no pictures from the second day.  Westley favorite ride was the Buzz Lightyear blaster ride (I do not know the official name) and Jenna’s favorite ride were the rockets (or Pirates of the Caribbean if Ben is around when you ask her).
