Disneyland!!!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, all things Disney.
Disneyland is heaven on earth for me.
As much as I love it, is as much as Geoff hates it.
So, for Mother's Day weekend, I got to go to my favorite place with my crazy boys, my awesome, energetic momma, and our best buddies, the Taylors. Despite the crowds, construction everywhere, and freezing weather, we still had a blast and opened and closed the park every night! So be ready for picture overload!

Disneyland



I love that my boys will all still go on the little kid rides with me, even Chase is a good sport about it. I hope this never changes cause I love Fantasyland.

There was always a fight over who got to sit with Grandma. This was the rare ride that Crew didn't sit with her. I pretty much just stood on the sideline and waited for someone to take pity on me and say that they wanted to ride with mom.

He HAD to have his face painted! So, of course, Grandma took him to do it. She spoils them ROTTEN!

Jack Sparrow was very in character. He wouldn't even look at the camera.

The little petting zoo was so cute. One of the goats took a little nibble at Crew. We were laughing so hard, luckily, so was Crew.








The boys had an epic light saber battle with their new swords. Later, Caden got to go onstage to battle Darth Vadar!
The only good meal we had in 5 days - the Blue Bayou - in the Pirates ride. Cool atmosphere, good food, a great way to wrap up our trip. Thanks Mom!

California Park

Oh my - what a group we were. I don't know if all the stares were because our kids were so cute, so fun, or so out of control! I'm sure a little of each.


Toy Story Mania was a favorite of everyone.


One of our surprising favorite things to do was the animation academy. Chase was so excited to do this so we reluctantly went with him. We loved it so much we went several more times.

The boys always have a blast at the Redwood Creek Challenge.

They burned through tons of money on the Midway games. Good thing Grandma was with us ;)
