Disneyland

We went to Disneyland a couple weeks ago and are wishing we could go back! It was such a fun family vacation, and it was priceless to see the excitement on Blake and Tyler's faces. I'll spare you all the pictures I took(because I took about 300!) and just show you some highlights.

The ride down.
We stopped in St. George for the night to visit Chris's grandparents. I hate that I don't have a picture of them...They are always so hospitable and make it so comfortable for us and the boys.

Here is Ty sitting, watching his movie in Grandpa Jones chair.

The next day of travel was so good. The kids were excellent and it went by super fast...which is good for me because I get so bored driving. It was nice to have Chris's parents with us too...they helped entertain the kids in the car and helped us at the park with them.
We rented a home by Disneyland, which turned out great! It was such a nice, clean, comfortable home...plus it had a pool. Blake LOVES to swim. He would live in a pool if he could. He keeps asking me when we are going back to the swimming house. Ty isn't in love with the pool...you can tell by his expression. He got more used to it by the end of our trip.

Jungle Cruise. kids loved and rode a couple of times.

Buzz Lightyear was Blake's favorite ride. I think we rode it about 10 times!




Blake loved trying on all the hats and we made Chris try them on too.



Ty wasn't happy about winning the big prize...mickey...so went marching back to put it away.


Pixar Parade...it was one of our favorites!


More highlights... We saw a lot of characters, but my kids didn't have any desire to get close; however Goofy came to see them. Ty was mesmerized and Blake hid.



Last ride of our Disney experience
Blake loved it and Ty and I watched from the sidelines.
The next morning before taking off we went to Goofy's Kitchen for breakfast. It was a fun for the kids...little disappointed we didn't see more characters there, but it was a great place to eat breakfast!
It was such a fun trip, especially for Blake and Chris. Blake wanted to do everything with Chris and turned into a great bonding trip for them.

Now I just wanted to add these few pictures....
Ty was great for being 18 months old. I learned that my eyebrows sweat when I'm trying to have patience with Tyler in the hot sun, in a long line :) We had a lot of little tantrums and getaways, but all-in-all we loved our trip with Ty! ;)

I LOVE Disneyland. That is so fun that you went. I bet Blake had such a good time. I can't wait to take Sadie. We keep saying lets just go and have almost done it a couple of times. BUT, when I went this past summer and after I had been there for a day- I thought I am not bringing her until she is old enough to enjoy it and not need a nap. So we'll see when we get there.

How fun. My favorite story about your Disneyland experience was once you returned. You said Blake woke up (I think it was the Sunday after you got home) put his swim shorts on and asked to go to the swim house. :) made me laugh. He's so funny and obviously more like me than I thought...since I could spend all day every day in a pool too. :)
