Disneyland

I have been trying to talk Aaron into a Disneyland trip for almost a year. And I couldn't convince him, but then his co-worker Brent said, "Hey Aaron lets go to Disneyland". and the next thing I know we are in the car headed to

The happiest place on Earth!

We drove down on Thursday and went to Disneyland Friday-Sunday!

It was my mom's birthday, so my parents and my brother's family decided to go down too. and my sister was already going to be there with Oakmont High School for Nationals.
Austin was so excited for the Jedi Training Academy, but he didn't get picked to be one of the kids that goes up on stage. He was even in his Luke Sky walker outfit! Oh well, he had fun watching the Jedi trainers and Darth Vader and Darth Maul.



Hannah loved all the rides.



Her are the boys with Mr. Incredible

My dad was teaching Hannah how to ride a roller coaster.

Hannah's first time riding Dumbo. Last time we went to Disneyland she was a sleep when we went on Dumbo, so she sat out with Grandma.

Dumbo is one of Austin's favorite rides. This trip was his first time being able to ride some of the bigger rides. He is 39 1/2 inches tall and most rides require you to be 40 inches, but that wasn't going to stop us, so we stuffed his shoes with napkins to make him taller (shhhh don't tell)
He didn't get on Tower of terror, but almost everything else he rode.



Saturday Morning we were at the park right after it opened and we just happened to be the right place at the right time. We were first in line to see Mickey Mouse. Hannah had not stopped talking about wanting to go to Disneyland to see him, but when we got up there she freaked out.

So Mickey stood on the other side of me to take the picture.
Hannah and me in line at pirates.


Brent, big Sydny and little Sydney

It was so nice going with friends and family,
there was always some to take a family pictures.

Aaron and Andrew.
Andrew was SOOO good. I hardly ever heard a peep out of him.
