Disneyland 2015: Day 2

With this trip we decided to buy a 3 day park hopper just to make sure we were able to fit everything in. On our last trip we only did a 2 day park hopper and missed A LOT. With our 3 day we were able to get an early hour into Disneyland Park so we headed out early to be to the park by 9.

We decided to start off the day by riding Space Mountain (since we missed that one last time). I laughed the whole entire time while the kids were screaming. It was kind of funny.

After Space Mountain we headed to Finding Nemo. We spent the majority of the day in Disneyland Park.

 After riding most of all of the rides in Fantasy Land we decided to make our way over to the Haunted Mansion and Pirates. We rode both of those rides with walk on priority (meaning no line to wait in). We were then quite hungry and we headed over to Cafe Orleans for some southern food. We had Gumbo, their famous Monte Cristo Sandwhiches (YUM!!) and of coarse their Mickey Mouse Beignets.

  

 

Besides the rides this trip we got to meet A LOT of princesses. Starting with Rapunzel.

 Abi was telling Rapunzel that she had lipstick on her tooth.

 

We decided to spend the last two hours of the park being opened over at California. So off we went. As we entered the park we saw a BIG HUGE Snowflake and of course we had to get our picture taken.

 

 

We headed to Cars Land first and it was just as exciting to see it the second time as it was the first time. You truly feel like you are in the movie Cars.

  

  

  

It was quite funny we were debating on riding the Racers Rides (especially when the wait was 60 min), as we were deciding some nice people approached us and asked us if we were going to ride the ride. We answers Not sure. They then gave us their Fast Pass as they just decided to ride the ride through the Single Riders line. 

 After Cars Land we headed towards Paradise Pier in the hope to wait in line for Toy Story Mania which is always a MUST ride ride.

 That ride ended our night. We had tired feet, tired kids and we were ready to rest our little heads. That day I took 20,259 steps. Yep we were tired.

Disneyland 2015: Day 1

Jeremy and I decided to surprise our kids to a Disneyland trip. We decided not to tell them because last time we went they knew and EVERYDAY was a count down as to when we were going to go. So for 6 months we kept our little mouths shut and surprised them to head to Disneyland.

Mom was very kind to pick us up and so we headed to breakfast first. We decided to eat at the Black Bear Diner. After our delicious breakfast we headed to the airport.

After landing in Long Beach we got our rental car and headed to Huntington Beach. The weather was perfect high 70's. The walk along the pier was beautiful.

We walked to the end where we found this 50's diner called Ruby's. It was a really cute place. We shared a couple burgers fries and a shake. Let me just tell you it was fabulous.

As we were heading back on the pier we came across a posing pelican.

This pelican actually stood there while everyone stopped to take a picture. It would even turn its head, I guess so we could get its "good side." We finally made it back to the beach with a few more hours of sun and we decided to play in the waves.

As the kids were playing in with the waves we told them to be careful and can you guess who biffed it?...You guessed it Jack. However it wasn't as bad as our first trip.

We headed back to the car to check in to our hotel. This trip we decided to stay across the street from Disneyland at the Del Sol Inn and Suites. Once we got settled we headed to find some dinner. We came across the Pizza Press and their pizza although a little expensive it was really good, at least the BBQ pizza was.

Back to the hotel we went to get some rest for our BIG day at the park.

Super Bowl 2015

This year we had a small group at our house for Super Bowl 2015. We decided to do Taco's, chips and salsa and avocado salsa, Mom brought her Chili Verde, Landon & Cristy brought drinks and chips and our Neighbors the P's brought maple scones.

At these events I tend to forget on taking any pictures. All the kids had fun playing together. The adults enjoyed watching the kind of pathetic game. Overall it was a fun, nice, evening.

Thank you to everyone for bringing something and for coming. Until next year!!
