More Disneyland!

Ok... so the next day we went back to Disneyland and California Adventure. We didn't go to Disneyland quite as early as the first day. The kids were still tired from the day before, so we weren't in a huge hurry the next day. My boys were looking super cute and ready for the day. I sure do love these little guys and I don't know what I would do without them!
So off to Disneyland we went! We saw Goofy right as soon as we walked into the park. The kids were pretty excited to see him and we only had to wait in line for a few minutes. Good ol' Goofy! Here is Kendall with Kaylie, Brinley and Hazen and Goofy.
After that we headed over to start the rides. We went on Peter Pan first thing since it was a pretty long line. The kids thought it was pretty cool too. Then of course they had to ride the carousel.... which Rhett was not a fan of :) Hazen loved it and could go on it all day long if I would have let him. I was kind of with Rhett on that one... It was making me sick going around and around and around again! I must be getting old.
We headed over to meet up with Cody and Brittni and their boys next. Hazen was SOOOO excited to finally go on some rides with his best buddy Gage. We started at Dumbo and all the kids loved it.
Silly Boys
Gage is a pretty brave kid and he wasn't really afraid to go on any rides. Hazen on the other hand.... he wasn't so sure on most of the rides. So after we finished Dumbo we headed over to Splash Mountain and Gage wanted to go on it. Hazen was VERY hesistant..... but his buddy Gage was going, so we talked him into it. Oh Wow! Funniest thing ever. He thought it was great until we went down the first tiny little waterfall drop.... I got him calmed down just in time to go down the big one! Ha ha! I'm such a mean mom :) He screamed the entire way down telling me that he hated it and he wanted off! We got off and he said he didn't want to go on that one again... big surprise there. The pictures are pretty awesome. They were just the ones that they take and post on the screen as you are coming out of the ride, so I took a couple with my cell phone, so you can't really see them that well. Cody got the whole thing on video, so I'm sure that is pretty entertaining.

Both of the boys looked pretty freaked out here! So funny!I love the look on Hazen's face here. He was screaming at this point.....
After we got off the ride.... They are both happy and smiling. A little wet... But happy :)

Here are some cute pictures of all the kids playing in Mark Twain's treehouse. JC, Elisa, Kendall, Alyssa and Maycee all headed in to ride Indiana Jones. So they left all the other kids with me and my parents for a while. The kids had a blast playing in the tree house and climbing and seeing all the stuff in there.
Some of my favorite little girls!We rode a few more rides and headed over to get our spot for the Disney parade. It was awesome! Everyone loved it. I wish it would have been longer. It was so fun to see all the characters and hear all the fun music and watch the dancers. The kids were all amazed by it. They were sad when it was over. Hazen and Rhett absolutely loved it. Rhett was amazed by all the lights and music. He just sat in the stroller and watched the whole time. I didn't get very good pics of the parade, because the flash on my camera mixed with the lights in the parade... plus they are kind of blurry. But here are are a couple.

Grandma DeAnna with some of the kids after the parade. Cute kids!

Off to Sea World the next day!

~Disneyland - Part 2!~

Holy Crap!!!! I have so many pictures!! I think I might have to do each day one post at a time! :)

The next day, Monday, also my birthday :) we headed to California Adventure first, and then over to Disneyland. We left our condo and got over to Disneyland/California Adventure right after the parks opened, which was about 10:00 am. We headed over to California Adventure first, since Disneyland was so dang busy already. The first ride we headed over to was Toy Story. Hazen was SOOOO excited to go on Toy Story. Rhett had fallen asleep on the walk over there and was out, so I stayed out with him while my parents took Hazen on the ride with JC and Elisa and their girls.

They only waited for about 10 or 15 minutes to ride it, so as soon as they got done they all wanted to go again. So this time, my parents stayed back with Rhett and I took Hazen again.

Hazen, Maycee and Kylee, waiting patiently in line to go on Toy Story.
Gotta love the 3D glasses!
Hazen and Maycee in their glasses, ready to go!Brinley was my ride buddy! Hazen wanted to go with Maycee.Action Shot!Another action shot of Hazen and Maycee. Toy Story really is the coolest ride. It is all in 3D and it is so much fun. It was probably our favorite ride there. I know it was Hazen's. I think we went on it at least 15 times throughout the week :)
Next stop, we headed over to the kids area in California Adventure... it has a cute name but I can't remember it right now. Rhett decided to wake up just in time to have some fun!
Rhett hanging out with his buddy, Uncle JC!!! They were buddies the entire trip.
Unfortunately for Rhett, he was too little to go on the bumper cars with us, so he hung out with Aunt Elisa and Morgan while we did that.
Alyssa and KyleeGrandpa Cory and Maycee
Next we headed over to a "Bug's Life Roller Coaster" which was hardly a roller coaster :) The kids thought it was pretty lame actually. Well, Rhett and Morgan liked it. It's definitely a ride for the little ones.
Next we headed over to the a ladybug ride that was like the Tea Cups, only a lot slower and perfect for the kids to start on. Both of the boys loved it! Rhett was laughing so hard the whole time. It was so cute! We were all laughing because of him.
Cute boys! It was fun to see them so excited and having fun. I was so worried that they wouldn't like it or they would get annoyed with standing in lines for half of the day, so it was nice to see them having so much fun. Believe me, we had our moments of crying and whining, but I expected that to happen a lot. On the way back over to get on the Little Mermaid ride we saw Pluto and had to stop and take a picture.
The Little Mermaid is a very close second to my favorite ride there. It is AMAZING! Such a cool ride with lots of fun music and characters. It was another one that we went on a lot while we were there. Hazen and Rhett loved it too. They thought it was awesome.
Alyssa and KyleeI seriously took so many pictures of this ride. It was such a fun ride!
We decided it was about time to head over to Disneyland and check things out. Hazen stopped by this cute bear statue on the way over there and wanted his picture taken.
JC and Elisa and their cute family. Rhett was asleep once again. Lucky kid... he got to relax and be pushed around in the stroller. What a life :)
Right after walking into Disneyland, we saw a few characters. Hazen spotted Gepetto and wanted a picture with him.
Right after that we saw Minnie Mouse. I didn't think Hazen would really care about seeing her or wanting to take a picture with her. Boy was I wrong! He was so excited to see her. I love this picture of him giving her a hug. He was so cute, and a little embarrassed.
I love how he is holding her hand here. So cute.
Just a cute picture of Hazen and Paige waiting in line. Me and Hazen on a ride that he didn't love. Ha ha. I had to make him go on some of the rides to get him out of his comfort zone. He liked most of them once they got going. This one... not so much. I didn't love it either. Made me a little motion sick.
I know you can't really tell by this picture, but this was Hazen's 2nd favorite ride. It was the Buzz Lightyear ride. He loved it of course because it has guns and you shoot stuff. Anyone who knows my boys knows they love that stuff. Rhett really liked this ride too. We went on it quite a few times.
Next we headed over to Finding Nemo. It was a little bit of a longer wait and the kids were getting hungry and tired by this time. It was about dinner time by now and they had been going all day. The ride was pretty cool but I was majorly claustrophobic on it. The kids loved it. Rhett really loved it. He thought it was great.
Giving Momma kisses while we were in line for Nemo. Sweet boy!
Being silly with Papa Cory!
After going on a few more rides and visiting one of the stores in Frontier Land, we headed back over to California Adventure to get ready for the World of Color show.
We had to hit Toy Story one more time for the day! World of Color was really cool, but it was packed and we could hardly see it. I didn't get any good pictures of it, but it was amazing. I love the look on Brooklyn's face in this picture. This is what Hazen did during World of Color. Ha ha... He was so tired and cranky by the time it started that he just sat in the stroller pouting and he fell asleep.
It was a really long day, but it was an awesome way to spend my birthday! Turning 27 wasn't so bad since I was in Disneyland to celebrate!
