Our Adventures at Disneyland!

At the beginning of January oor little family of four went to Disneyland with Robert and Bernie AKA "Nana & Tata". We spent three days in the park and truly had nonstop fun. Caden keeps asking when can we go back, and for some reason thinks he is going there on his birthday... McKylah was a good baby as usual, and pretty much went along for the ride. Nothing stood out too much for her, but while packing it was a lot of fun for her to get in and out of my suitcase!
Toon Town was one of our first stops in the park. Minnie and Goofy were the first characters that Caden got to see. All went well until Goofy made the mistake of covering up Cade's eyes while he looked into the wishing well. Anyone who knows my kid knows he has his personal space and doesn't like it to be invaded. Naturally from then on Caden did not like Goofy and still tells me how he didn't like seeing him. Okay moving on...

Is there a picture cuter than this? I really don't think so. These two have so much fun with each other and I just love how they are just smiling at each other.

So remember when I mentioned Cade's personal space? Well he is just one of those kids that doesn't like anything out of the norm. That is why we were shocked that Caden loved all of the "Big" rides in the park! We started him off small with the roller coaster in Toon Town, but it didn't stop there! His favorites were Thunder Mountain, and Splash Mountain! I can't believe he is even big enough to go on them let alone actually like them. What a stud!

To recap my child likes all of the scary rides, but when it comes playing instruments and singing with other kids count him out. When asked to play along Caden was too scared even though I was there playing an instrument too! You really never know what kind of reaction you will get with this little guy!

Meanwhile McKylah is thinking, "When aren't these people going to give me a nap! Can't they see how tired I am!" McKylah was such a trooper the whole time we were there. Each day she only got about a 40 minute nap. The funny thing was that every time she fell asleep it was was riding Pirates of the Caribbean. Which means parents take note if you want your kids to take a nap, go on that ride!

Out of all of the people in the world that I could run into at Disneyland I run into none other than LISA! She thought we were going a few weeks later, and on a whim her and Ben drove there before school started up again. It was so funny running into Lisa of all people because I have been to Disneyland with her a handful of times before. On the last night that we were there Gabe and I put the kids to bed and left them with Gabe's parents and we went out with Lisa and Ben. So not only did we have fun in the park, but we managed to squeeze a late night date in too! Score for us!

At California Adventure there is a spot for kids to take pictures with Tow Mater & Lightening McQueen. And of course Cade loved shining these guys.

Thanks to Robert and Bernie and rider switch passes, Gabe and I got to ride all of the rides! It was such a good time of the year to go. We walked right onto so many rides!
What better way to end this post than with a picture of Caden on "Pride Rock", or at least what Caden referred to as that.

We had so much fun at Disneyland and even Gabe and I can't wait to go again. Thanks for coming Robert and Bernie!
