~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.

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!
