Three cheers for the man that can ride the tea cups with the kiddos without getting sick.

Our Princesses

       

  Dinner on the Pier.  We saw the sun set and the kids got balloon creations.

  Minnie Mouse Shirts

The coveted spot of being carried by dad.  He was amazing and carried the backpack, a kid and often pushed the stroller. Kyson’s bubble blower that was awesome for the three whole days it worked. Family Picture:  Jaylee was hiding behind me.  Apparently she was done with pictures.

We were exhausted, but happy each night in the hotel.

Our Vacation Stats:

Kinsley:

• Loved the carousal and Monsters Inc. rides
• Spent any free time chasing ducks
• Begged every morning to get on the bus
• Was a trooper and pulled through with 30 minute naps in arms each day
• Favorite character was Buzz Lightyear or Minnie Mouse
• Loved the Beach.  She worked really hard at repeatedly picking up sand and throwing it into the water.
• Found a friend in nearly every line, making the time pass quicker

Kyson:

• Loved the hotel!  He keeps asking if we can move into one and can point out a La Quinta from a mile away
• Loved the rides that weren’t dark… was afraid of the ones that were.
• Favorite rides were Monsters Inc. and “the one where you help Buzz get the bad guys.”
• Couldn’t keep Kyson out of the water at the beach.  Oh.. or the sand
• Is 39 1/2 inches tall and therefore too short(despite my efforts in spiking his hair and shoe tissue stuffing) to ride on 4 or 5 rides he would have loved. 
• Got a bubble blower and Buzz Lightyear toy with his money from Grandma and us.

Jaylee:

• Couldn’t handle other people sleeping on the long car ride
• Went on most of the rides.  Didn’t want to attempt Splash Mountain.
• Loved swimming in the hotel
• Favorite rides were The bobsleds and Cars.
• Favorite characters were Minnie and Tangled
• Enjoyed the shows “Aladdin” and “Beauty and the Beast”
• Still tried to push bed time back even though it was late each night and she was exhausted.
• Jumped over the waves at the beach and collected enough sea shells for everyone in her class.
• Was too shy to ask any characters for their autographs.  Managed to get some anyway :)

Chalece:

• Would like to try Disneyland again when not pregnant
• Loved seeing the kids have fun
• Got tired
• Wouldn’t trade time with her family for anything :)
• is blessed!!

Mike:

• Was the hero of the group. 
• Made us all happy
• Got to go on Indiana Jones and California Screamin by himself.  Loved it
• Drove 95% of the long trip
• Is the love of my life and each day I feel more lucky to have him.
