Day 4 - Disneyland

Wednesday was beauiful!  We had a good sleep, a good breakfast, and were excited to go see Mickey.  We rode the shuttle to the park which was only a few blocks away, and got there shortly after it opened.

We got our tickets off of Craigslist, so we didn't have to wait in line and just went right through the gates.  I pulled out the map and showed the boys the different areas, showing them rides and explaining stuff.  The only thing they were interested in was: Where is Mickey?  Luckily, we found him fast!

 Then we found Gepetto and Pluto.  We had them all sign our autograph books too!

 Rides were so fun...

 Unless they were a little scary...   

 The thing that I enjoyed most about the rides at Disneyland is that everyone could ride them.  There were only a handful that had height restrictions, and they were ones we wouldn't want to ride anyway unless you were older.  And, it was so family friendly.  They allowed 3 on almost every ride, so we could all go at the same time.

 I was so excited to got to the castle and take the boys through FantasyLand, but they could have cared less.  Nobody wanted to ride on anything with me or see the princesses.  Dave took my picture and said the maybe someday I would have a princess that would be excited to do girl stuff!

 When we found the Fairy Godmother and Suzie the mouse, Braden was in love at first sight.  He thought Suzie was the most wonderful and amazing thing he had ever laid his little eyes on!



A Mickey Pretzel for dinner!  (It was the only thing we could afford!)



 At California Adventure we did a few rides, and then enjoyed the World of Color show.  We didn't have great "seats", but it was pretty amazing what they could do with lights and water.  It dawned on me what the most wonderful thing about Disney is - the MUSIC!  Nothing beats Disney music. 

 I loved this picture, though it should have been one I took at the first of the day, not the last!

We got back to our hotel around 9pm, and Braden cried all the way up the elevator "Bed!!"  We were all exhausted, but had a very fun day!  Legoland was fun, but it certainly isn't as magical as Disneyland!
