One of the main things I wanted to do in California was to take the boys to Disneyland. When I was a little girl, my Grandpa worked for Disney and got free tickets so we went all the time...it was wonderful! So, of course I want my kids to experience the "Happiest place on Earth". We found some way cheap park hopper tickets through Craig's List and headed to Anaheim. My parents and sister Eryn and her boyfriend Reed all came with us. It was so nice to have all the extra hands to help take care of the kids. Here's the whole group (Reed took the picture):
Eryn and Reed:
We headed to California adventure first and did the rapid ride. It was way fun but and Noah was really looking forward to riding it but he was like half an inch too short! Poor guy! We did take them on the Toy Story ride and both boys {Loved} it! Here's Grandpa Lynn and Logan:
On our way over to Tower of Terror, we ran into Chip and Dale. They totally loved Noah and he loved them too! Poor Logan missed it because he fell asleep.
I think my very most favorite ride between both parks is Tower of Terror. It just doesn't get old! I took a picture of our picture on the ride:
Did you notice the huge grin on my Dad's face? Time of his life! Then we headed to Disneyland and got to see Captain Eo. I haven't seen that since 1980...something.
We got to do the submarine ride, Space Mountain, Haunted Mansion, Indiana Jones and lots more fun stuff. We all loved the Haunted Mansion because it was all decked out for Halloween. It looked amazing and Noah loved the ghosties!
The one thing that Noah was looking forward to most at Disneyland was Jedi training. They bring out a couple of Jedi and show the kids how to use a light saber and then Darth Vader and Darth Maul come out to fight the little paduan. There were so many kids there waiting for training that of course Noah didn't get picked to do it. I was heartbroken for him and almost cried. Silly, I know but he still had fun seeing the Star Wars guys.
By the end of the day, we were all so exhausted but we got to see one more thing in California Adventure called World of Color. It was amazing but Noah was so tired, he actually fell asleep right on the ground!
We had a great day and can't wait to go back in September with Jason's family!

Elan, I can't wait to hear all about it from the boys. Glad you all had a great time.
Sounds like you had a fun trip! I'm so glad. Are you getting a new car?
Looks like you had a great time! i love your blog - you're amazing!
That's fun that Noah got to see the Star Wars people, but too bad he didn't get to practice with them.
I think Logan looks a lot like Noah in that picture with him and your dad.
I loved Disneyland as a kid. I can't wait to take my kids there.
