DisneyLand - March 2011

Although, I had just returned from my girls trip to DisneyLand 2 weeks ago, I packed my bags again to spend 8 more days in sunny Anaheim, CA and Disneyland with my family.  I must say, going to Disney with my girlfriends and then with kids made it seem like 2 totally different vacations.  I love seeing the excitement in my children's eyes as we walk through Disneyland and ride the rides.  I love seeing Alex still get excited about seeing the characters and waving to them to get their attention.  I loved taking Abbi and Alex on Tower of Terror for the first time and having Alex tell "I am never going on that ride again."  And I loved spending 8 full days with Aaron, my kids, and my parents.  We had a lot of fun at Disney and we even made it to the beach.  The water was freezing but we had fun digging in the sand and running in the surf.  And, we even got to help a Master Lego Builder build an 8 ft Yoda out of Legos at a new store that was opening up the Costa Mesa Mall.

Off we Go!


On the tram to Disneyland... I'm So excited!

Happy Birthday to Alex!


Forget the rides, let's go to the Lego Store and build.

We even learned how to draw Pluto and Minnie

I LOVE Disneyland! How fun. Happy Birthday, Alex! The picture of the kids at the beach makes me cry. I miss the SoCal beach.

Looks like you guys had so much fun in Disneyland! There are so many new things there that sound so fun. Glad you got to go to the beach and enjoy the warm weather. I love Abbi's face on the cars, reminds me of another time. Of course I won't go into that here :)

Thanks Annie and Aaron for inviting us to tag along to Disneyland with you guys. It was so much fun. There is just something magical about it and it makes you feel young no matter how old you are. We loved it! Thank you! Thank you!
