Disney Land Finally!!!

This was taken minutes before the boys woke up to head to Disneyland! We spent the night in Vegas to make the trip that much shorter. (So cute!)
There's no way to write about everything we did and everything we saw, so I will let the picture just speak for themselves. We spent 5 days there! And, spent eight hours everyday playing. It was fun, and lucky I had enough energy to make it through the day. Though, I will say this, I wish the boys could have pushed me a grandma around in the stroller every now and then.(Joe wasn't able to go, because of the season and all -fires =responsibility/money.)

Under the sea, looking from the porthole in the Nemo Submarine ride. SO FUN. It showed cool things like this scuba guy and beautiful (fake) plant life, but then went completely dark and movie clips were reflected in front of you as you were moving along. Very cool.


The "Buzz game" as Ben referred to it, was so fun and we probably went on this ride 20 times (no joke) You would move along and shoot your laser gun at different targets to defeat Zurg! Very exciting and the boys could have done this all day -and we almost did.

Sporting their new Disney shirts, they played around at Goofy's house.


The boys both love Lightning McQueen and Mator! So, when we saw them "off the side of the road" they were thrilled to get to see them. (Ben kept talking to them and wondering why they wouldn't talk back. We told them it's their job to take lots of pics, so they have to hurry so every one can get a turn, and if they talked to everyone it would take too much time. That appeased him.)

The first guy we met. Ben wasn't sure if he wanted to bother, and Kade wouldn't get out of the stroller. But, after this experience they understood, and liked posing with the characters.(Except for a little incident with Goofy.)

Kade cried when we nudged him forward to meet Goofy -so I had to hold him. But, it was a very funny thing. Goofy started acting afraid of Kade -and wouldn't' let Kade come near him, until Kade was laughing at Goofy thinking he was scary. Then we got a cute picture.
Donald is Ben's "favorite", besides Buzz Lightyear, So, it was amazing that we got to see him first thing our last morning!
Oh Mickey!

BUZZ LIGHTYEAR!!!! The highlight of the entire experience! The boys were SO happy words can't even do their reaction justice. They were thrilled! We got a few pics with Buzz and seeing him made the whole trip worth it. If getting to "meet" Buzz was all we had done, the trip would still have been worth it. (And I sware my legs are not really that huge, it's not a flattering angle.)
I took 186 pictures at Disneyland and their were so many other things we saw, so maybe I'll post another post sooner or later.

The Goofy pic is my favorite! I love his pose with his hand on Ben's head. He he. Cute story with it too. I like how he acted afraid of Kade. Glad you had energy!
