Disneyland!!!

Yay for Disneyland! I am so excited that this vacation worked out. We stayed in Vegas on the way down and St George on the way back. We spent 2 days in Disneyland/CA Adventure, one day at the beach, and one day in L.A. Everything went great. The kids weren't too bad on the drive, nobody got sick, we didn't have any car troubles, and we had great weather. The lines at Disneyland were super short. The longest line we stood in was to see Mickey Mouse and it was about 25 minutes. Overall we had a great vacation!


At Disneyland we stayed at Portofino Inn and Suites. It was less than a ten minute walk to the entrance of the park. I didn't get any good photos of the whole room so here is one from their website. Of course this picture looks better than it did in person. :) Shawn and Evan were thrilled with the bunk beds and the little table with chairs. It was a perfect place for us.


I wasn't kidding about Evan loving the bunk beds. Most of his time in the hotel was spent playing with this ladder.
We never did get a great shot of us at the entrance of Disneyland. This is the best one.

The first ride we did was Buzz Lighyear. Even though Shawn looks blah in this picture was was so excited to see Buzz and he was extactic about the ride. As you can see we couldn't even get Evan to look away from Buzz.


Jon took this ride very serious and tried to get the best score. He is making a funny face in all the pictures I took.


Evan on Buzz Lightyear





It's a Small World Afterall.... Evan slept through It's a Small World


Shawn driving Mickey's car outside his house


Knocking on random doors with random little girls.





Waiting in line to see Mickey


Shawn loves Mickey Mouse and was so happy to see him


He refused a hug from Sleeping Beauty






Tired little guys


What you don't see in this picture is Evan taking of his hat and wacking Shawn in the face until he woke up


Evan found ways to entertain himself in the lines. He tried to climb on everything.....and he also liked to play this game where he would suddenly throw himself backwards and then just laugh. We were lucky we never dropped him


On the Jungle Cruise. I love that ride.



Carousel

The germaphobe in me just about freaked out when Evan kept licking the pole




One of the only family photos we got (plus our new little girl in the background)

Shawn kept trying to get his sword out and then resolved that Daddy would be able to do it because Daddy is SO strong


Nope

I love that hotel!! I have never seen anything like that with bunk beds before, what a great idea! Traveling with our three gets harder and those bunk beds would be great!

You look amazing in the photos! What a cute family!

This made me want to go to Disney SO BAD! :) We are planning next Christmas {in 2012} but holy moly I wish I could go next week!!

Hey Heather! Love the Disneyland pictures! Looks like you guys had a blast! Did I ever tell you that I took Mills? We probably got there right when you were leaving or something! I am dying to hear all about the trip! Love all the pictures and I am glad the hotel worked out! Let's play soon!
