happiest place on earth

Our little family had a GREAT vacation to Disneyland! We spent 6 days in the happiest place on earth! We stayed at the remarkable Grand California Hotel & even had time to spend at the pool!

We divided our time between Disneyland and CA Adventure...I'd say more time at Disneyland was had for sure! We enjoyed all the rides and entertainment!

Colden's favorite ride was Pirates of course! He tried two times to get into Jedi training, but decided he didn't want to try anymore! He was such a trooper! He was very brave and went on Thunder Mountain several times!

Brindley's favorite thing was meeting all the princesses, and her most favorite was Rapunzel! She was amazing and worth the 90 minute wait! Brindley's favorite ride was, It's a Small World!

Brian and I enjoyed watching the magic through Colden and Brindley's eyes, there is nothing better! We also enjoyed various rides and took turns going as "singles" on some of the bigger rides!

We hope to return soon as it really is the happiest place on earth!

"It's a Small World After All..." Sorry to get the stuck in your head now!

We thought the sign was a great idea, but it didn't work...oh well...Colden is the biggest trooper!

Dumbo!

Headed to the island!Good ol' fashion carousel!

Colden won Dumbo out of 6 other people!!

Meeting Tinkerbell!

Waiting to meet Rapunzel! 90 minutes, but this moment brought Mommy to tears!

Colden made his very own light saber and was SO patient with his sister waiting for Rapunzel!

Yup...here is the moment that I cried...Rapunzel took Brindley away from the chaos (because she's so shy) and sat her in this window sill...it was a very special moment!

Ariel and Brindley!

Belle and Brindley!Tiana and Brindley!Jasmine and Aladdin with the kids!

Flying rockets!

CA Adventure!This is a completely fake smile from me as we were up high in a ferris wheel...I'll take CA Screamin' or Tower of Terror anyday over this!

Bug's Life area...fun for the kids!

And this about sums it up!!!
