DISNEYLAND!

DAY 1
We arrived to California on Sunday night. It took us 8 hours to get there! There was an accident 20 miles out of Vegas, it was at a stand still or slow moving for about 2 hours! Once we past the accident it was smooth sailing til Cali. We got unloaded and got the kids to bed.

DAY 2
We made it to the park at 9:30 a.m. We had to get breakfast at Burger King because our hotels idea of a "free continental breakfast" is Donuts and Coffee!
We went to Disneyland first and rode some rides. Then we headed over to California Adventures around 11:30 because we had a lunch reservation at 1:10.

We took Logan on the Tower of Terror and he was TERRIFIED! I wish we would have looked at the picture just to see how terrified he was! He was wanting it to be over and DID NOT want to ride it again.
While in California Adventures we saw Sully and were able to get a few pictures with him. Lucas LOVED him! It was so cute he wanted to go to him. Sully was playing with Lucas.

For lunch we went to Ariel's Grotto. It was fun, but not sure if I will eat there again. They have changed the menu and increased the prices! But it was fun to see all the princesses and Raylie was in heaven!

This is the plates of appeitizers that we all had to share. The bread was in the shape of seaweed.

Lucas was sporting his King's crown! Well he was in the process of taking it off when we got the picture!

Here we are with all the princesses. There was Ariel, Aurora, Cinderella, Belle and Snow White. There was also a "little" helper who announced the princesses. He was playing with Lucas until Lucas realized I wasn't by him and he started crying.

We also got to see Chip and Dale. It was nice not having the kids afraid of the characters. Logan and Raylie wanted a picture in the letters of there name. Lucas was asleep so I didn't get one of him in the L.

We got each of the kids Mickey Hats. They each picked there own hat out and we had their name put on the back of them. Lucas was very happy to be wearing his hat!

DAY 3
On Tuesday we went down to Huntington Beach. It was a little overcast and breezy but not bad. The water was FREEZING but it didn't stop the kids from wanting their swimsuits on and playing in the water. We saw about 6 dolphins swimming in the water. It was pretty cool. The kids LOVED playing in the sand. Lucas really wasn't sure if he liked it. When I would set him down to stand in the sand he would cry. The poor little guy woke up with a fever so I think he just wasn't feeling good.

The hole! Josh dug a hole for the kids. We burried Logan in it. He thought it was fun til he got out and sand was ALL OVER him and in his suit. He was growing in the sand(that's why his arms are out like stems).

After we got back from the beach the kids and I went swimming in the pool and hot tub. Then we all showered and went to Downtown Disney for an hour or so.

DAY 4
We went back to Disneyland and California Adventures on Wednesday to get the rides we didn't get to on Monday and ride the ones we LOVED again.

We went on the huge Ferris Wheel in the swinging cart. Logan DIDN'T like it at first, Raylie LOVED it the whole time and Lucas just wanted to get down from my lap.

We were super lucky to see a lot of the characters and get our pictures with them. I don't remember seeing as many the last times I have gone to Disneyland.
We had a great time! There were just a few minor mishaps... like me forgetting the stroller(Disney strollers are actually quite nice), Lucas waking up Sunday morning with his ears draining, Tuesday with a fever, Raylie crying Tuesday night that her ears hurt (she finished amoxil on Monday) and Logan waking up Wednesday with a croupy tight cough.
Other than that we had a GREAT time and can't wait to go back again!!!
