Our Disneyland (California) Trip!!!

As if moving wasn't enough we decided to go to Disneyland in October too! We had a blast, Grandma Swendy and Grandpa Mike were able to join us two of the days. Also we got to meet baby Eden and see Kylee, Andy, and Auri, who conveniently live close to D-land. Auri and Izac truly love each other and have a special bond. They were able to join us at the happiest place on earth for a day too!

Sorry for such a long post, I can never remember how to make a slide show, and I promise I only picked the best pictures to post. There are so many, it's hard to choose!!!

Alex watching a movie on the way

It was so fun to be there at Halloween time. I'm sure all holidays there are great, but we loved Halloween time

Alex not so sure about his first character encounter. Izac wouldn't even get out of the stroller

This is Izac's favorite ride.......

and his next favorite ride the carousel

I get sick when I spin, so I got to hold baby Eden, and Kylee was kind enough to take Alex with Auri on a more calm tea cup ride

Izac was brave and rode the Matterhorn with me, Justin, and Grandpa Mike

It's a small world, we were all able to get into one boat. Thank goodness, we got stuck for about 20 minutes in there when the ride broke down. I had snacks and Gma Swendy was entertainment for the kids.

Izac and Auri, really couldn't get enough of each other

Izac and Auri with G&G, on the toon town firetruck. Let's not forget to take the cotton candy with us!

A little better encounter with Goofy

Izac's favorite character, Woody, cause he's a cowboy

Izac and Justin at a spooky scene

Waiting in line to another big ride Izac was brave to go on. Big Thunder Railroad.

A silly picture after the ride. Gma Swendy was nice to watch all 3 of the "babies" so the rest of us could go on this ride together

This is how the boys arrived at the hotel every night, so convenient

The third day we started with another of Izac's favorites, The Jungle Cruise

The classic, family in front of the castle

Us with G&G Van Dorn inside the front gate

Just our family

Izac with the "I"

Alex on the "A"

This was probably Alex's favorite thing in the whole 2 parks!

Izac loved the Pixar parade, it was so fun we had to see it the next day too!

It was so exciting, even the real Lightening McQueen was there!

The third day in the park it was just our family. We had a pass to get into the park early,called a magic morning pass. It was so nice to have very little people in the park for about an hour. Here we are with Mickey in his Halloween outfit.

The Sword in the Stone

This is what happens when your way cool Disneyland prize gun, runs out of batteries & won't make noise or light up anymore...... so sad!

Downtown Disney at the Lego store

The "real" Mater and McQueen

The fourth day of the trip we went out to the coast and went to the beach. You can't go to Newport without going to the Crab Cooker

The boys loved the beach! It was hard to make them leave. We carried them out kicking and screaming!

But then we got to go see Eden and Auri, and things were all better. Izac loved to hold baby Eden, even if she was crying. We just couldn't get enough of this cute chubby girl!!!

Watching a movie with cousins

And on the way home the next day we stopped in St. George to see our other cousins, the twins Abby and Emmy, and Benjamin. They are so cute too. We can't wait to see them again!

It was a crazy adventure, but we had SO MUCH fun. I want to go again....soon!!! Thanks to Kylee for Sunday dinner, and the fun. Thanks to G&G Van Dorn for the fun, and coming to make some memories with us. Thanks for letting Justin and I go on some "big" rides without the kids! Thanks to Justin for making it all happen, cause someone has to work to fund($) the fun times like these!!! (I have a bad hunch we're done with vacations and big purchases for quite a while)
