{Disneyland!}

In March the kids (and I) had a week off for spring break. We had told the kids we were going to Snowflake, but decided last minute to take two trips that week, first to Disneyland, then to Snowflake. We wanted to keep Disneyland a surprise, so we pretended that's where we were going as we headed towards California. Ethan added some excitement when he lost a tooth on the car ride.


Kade passed time with a good romance novel.


Making it extra fun, my sisters Brittany and Ally came along!



We couldn't believe that the kids never asked questions when the ride was longer than usual...and when we pulled up to the hotel and told them the news they were just silent, looking out the windows....then Ethan started crying. They couldn't remember our Disneyland trip a couple years ago and were sad we were not in Snowflake! After we told them about the rides, they perked up. Not the reaction we were thinking of!

After we got our stuff up to the room we put on our suits and headed to the pool.


The boys slept in sleeping bags on the floor to make room for their cute Aunties.


We arrived a little before 8 am, ready for fun! Cody teased me about getting a stroller for Kade but it was the best $15 spent ever!!





The first ride we went on was Space Mountain! So fun! The boys loved all the roller coasters and Kade was brave enough to come on all of them too.








Rhett was thrilled to be chosen for Jedi training, he fought against Darth Maul. It's funny to remember that the last time we went to Disneyland (3 years ago) Rhett and Ethan did Jedi training but had never even watched Star Wars yet. Oh how times change!














Ethan finds bugs wherever we go.




Awwwww!


We stayed until 11pm....woo hoo!!! The next morning we ate at IHOP and then made the trip home...only about 5 hours, not too bad!
