For spring break, Matt and I totally surprised the kiddos and took them to Disneyland. We didn't tell them until a few hours before we left! It might have even been more fun for us to plan it, than it was for them to receive it! I love surprises.
Our first day we got to the park early and were able to ride several rides without a wait. It was great. We rode the Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean twice, and Winnie the Pooh twice all in an hour and a half. It was a perfect start to our trip.
The boys really tried hard to pull that sword from the stone.
Brody is such a good sleeper. He always has been. He tried so hard to stay awake, but each day he crashed in the stroller for a little while. Nothing like his normal 2+ hour naps, but he managed to get a few z's.
While he was sleeping he missed the ice cream treat we all had, so afterward, while daddy and Colby rode Indian Jones, he got his treat too!
On the second day we started at Disney and then headed over to California Adventure. It was kind of a mess to be honest. The whole park was under construction, and so lots of the rides we enjoy were closed. But the boys didn't care. I think we only did three things over there, and then headed back to Disney. One of the funniest things was when we were in the 3D Bugs Life show. Colby and Brody did pretty good until the seats made you feel like there were roaches crawling, and when the spiders dropped from the ceiling Colby freaked out and started yelling "Exit, Exit, Exit" over and over and Brody started crying. It took a minute to calm them both down, poor kids, but it was pretty funny.
A favorite was the jungle cruise. Colby and Brody both loved it, and the line was never too long, so we went several times.
Each day we got a treat for a snack. The second day they both wanted popcorn, which I thought was funny because the other choice was ice cream, but they gobbled it down. Of course they loved my frozen lemonade too, which I was happy to share. How could I not, look at this face!
I wish I had more pictures (especially of Colby - he just doesn't do great with lots of pictures right now)!! We had such a great time, that we forgot about the camera most of the time. But some of the things I loved the most, were just seeing the boys so excited and happy, being able to spoil them rotten and not feel guilty about it, spending each day not worrying about anything else but enjoying my family, and soaking up the beautiful California weather and landscape! More on our last day next....
