Final day at Disneyland!

We decided to go back to Mickeys Surfs Up breakfast on the last day. The boys ate so good there and it was dry inside.

It wasn't so dry outside as you can tell from everyone wearing ponchos. But the lines were AWESOME!! I think we rode Pirates like 3 times in a row and walked right in every time. It was great!!

 Nice hat daddy!!  I think I was wearing one too but I didn't let anyone get my picture :)

The rain didn't slow us down much, it was nice that we could walk onto most of the rides. It made the boys not complain so much!

 The boys found some more characters to meet inside while waiting for Colby to do Tower of Terror...again!!

Poor kids, look how wet their pants are. They were such troopers though, hardly whined at all!!

Yeah!! No more rain!! Before we ran back to the hotel to change them, they had to go on Grizzly River Run a couple more times. Might as well since they were already wet!

Ended our trip on a great note. Sure they were whiny, tired and worn out, but I hope they had a great time. I know I did!!

Day 2 at Disneyland!!

Day 2 at Disney started out great. We got in an hour earlier then most of the crowd so we headed straight to Fantasyland. We rode all the rides that take an hour or longer during the day. Rides like Peter Pan, Tea Cups, Pinocchio and Snow White. We also rode on Matterhorn...that ride the day before was a 2 hour wait. Peyton even got to ride that one. Rob said he didn't like it very much though.

After we hurried and rode all those rides, we ran over to California Adventures. Since we were staying at a Disney hotel they let us into the park to stand in line for Toy Story an hour earlier too. It was awesome, we only waited like 8 minutes to get onto the ride. Later that day, the wait was 2 hours.

 Definitely one of everyones favorite rides. I wish the wait wasn't so long or we'd ride it several times.

 I let the boys get their faces painted this time. They always want to do it but I never let them cause its like $15-$17 a kid to paint them. Peyton got a tiger, Tyler a dragon and Bryan and Colby got "tribal" ones.

 Not sure why I didn't get a close up of Colby, sorry!!

I probably won't ever let them get painted again, but at least it made them happy for a couple of hours. Peytons got messed up shortly after this picture from boogies and him wiping his nose. Bryan was so worried the whole time that he was messing it up he wouldn't eat or drink anything. Then half way through the day we let them go back and swim so it was gone anyways.

I guess I didn't take very many pictures that day. When we went back to the hotel to let them swim there was a big slide there. The boys loved it, but they wouldn't let Peyton go down with his floaties on. So at first we didn't let him go. He was so mad, he kept trying to sneak up the stairs and go down with his brothers. We finally let him try and just stayed at the bottom to catch him. You would have thought was was just as big as his brothers. He had no problem going down and LOVED it. It was probably his favorite thing he did on vacation. He didn't even care if his brothers went down with him, he would just march up the stairs and do it himself. He's getting so big. Bryans favorite ride this day was Screamin, we got fast passes since he's the only kid that can go. He ended up going 3 times in a row with Daddy, Grandpa and Grandma. He thought it was so funny that Grandma hid her head the whole time and he had his hands up the whole time. He thought he was pretty funny for tricking her into going with him. Colbys favorite ride was Tower of Terror. Seriously...what five year old likes that ride. What adult likes that ride even? It was his favorite though and rode it several times as well. We went to Rain Forest Cafe for dinner that night, yummy!!

Day 1 at Disneyland!

I think I'll do my post according to the days, if I tried to fit all my pictures you'd probably get bored. I LOVE taking pictures!!

 Morning 1... we started the day off at a Character Breakfast called "Surf's up with Mickey". We stayed in the Paradise Pier Disney hotel so it was just in the lobby. Very convenient!!

 We thought if we did a character breakfast first it might warm Peyton up to some of them and he wouldn't be as scared. He HATED all the characters last time. He did a lot better this vacation. He LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Mickey Mouse. He kept wanting to go back to him and wave or give him a high five. He liked Minnie too, and eventually Pluto. But hated pretty much everyone else. And would get really nervous whenever Stitch especially would come by.

 Tyler loved everyone and wanted his picture with everyone too.

 Peyton even gave Minnie a hug, I was super bummed I missed getting a picture of it. It was adorable!

Pluto was being silly with the boys and trying to push them out of the picture, so this is the best shot I got. Colby thought it was hilarious!

So glad we started with Smallworld, Peyton loved it so he wasn't really scared on the the rest of the rides. Plus the wait was like 5 minutes. When we got out, it was like 45 minutes.

Splash Mountain...one of the favorites of course!! Even Tyler loved it. Last time we went he was nervous but wanted to keep going this time.

Since me and Peyton couldn't go on all the big boy rides, we spent a lot of time together. This ride is the golden rocketships (not sure the real name) right by Buzz Lightyear. He loved that he could hang out with mommy all by himself!

 We found this giant ball while waiting for the big boys to do Space Mountain.

Eventually Peytons "boy side" came out and he started dunking his head into the water. Everyone around us thought it was so cute. When he started drinking it however...I made him stop. He still thought he was funny!

 Buzz Lightyear... one of everyones favorite of course!!

We ended the night with Goofys Roller coaster. Rob said Peyton was a little scared but not too bad. Bryan and Colby loved that they got to sit in the front.

Overall day one went great. The lines were a little bit long but the weather was great, and we had minimum crying.
