The Happiest Place on Earth

Disneyland really is THE happiest place on Earth! We had an amazing time. Even as an adult, I felt the Disney magic...we got to spend two days there, but I seriously could have stayed five and would have been perfectly happy.

Randy's memories of going to Disneyland as a kid are of rushing, waiting in long lines, and being hot - definitely not his idea of a vacation. So we left him home! I guess I could have coerced him into going (eventually I always get my way), but I knew my mom and I would have a blast together - and we did!

The rides were short - the longest we waited in line was 20 min. We walked right onto "It's a Small World". That was my favorite ride. Andrew's was the "Buzz Lightyear & Dumbo" rides. Josh, hmmm...anything that involved sitting with Grandma was good enough for him. In the above picture, I stole him from Grandma so that we could get a picture together, thus the distressed look on his face.

How cute is that?!

Grandma spoiled the boys rotten. When we made the trek back to our shuttle each night, Grandma bought them a new light-up toy to keep them entertained.

We were also able to meet up with my dear friends Sarajane & Tanya - love those girls!

Driving alone with two kids is kind of crazy, I admit it. But I felt very safe the whole time. The kids watched DVD's and we made lots of stops to break things up. The boys did really well considering it was a 14-hour trip each way.
