About 2 weeks before school started we took our last trip to Disneyland. We have been lucky enough to enjoy a year of Disneyland Annual passes, and took 4 trips in the past year. We love Disneyland!! We went a bit nostalgic and stayed at the first hotel we ever stayed at (not to mention its our fave place to stay) Back in 2009 on our second trip to Disneyland, our room had these cute folded towels. The kids thought they were so funny (remember this pic)
Well on this trip our room had the same folded towels and as soon as we saw them we all started cracking up. Then Mick just had too.....
I love my hubby he has the best sense of humor
We got a free continental breakfast for our hotel stay so we took full advantage of that.
If you notice we are all wearing buttons. Since it was in Aug we had a lot to celebrate. Skylas b-day the month before, My b-day and our 9th year wedding anniversary is in Aug. It was pretty fun having so much to celebrate.
We hit all of our favorite rides like Indiana Jones.....
So cool how you can be standing in line and forget you in a huge theme park cause all you see is this...
Of course we had to hit the new Little Mermaid ride first day there.....
Riding in our clam shells....
Checking out the fish conga line wile we sing along to "Under the sea".....
The next day we split up for a bit. Sky wanted some girly time with mom and the boys wanted to go on some rides and have some guy time. So whats a girl to do in Disneyland but DUHHU get her hair done and get all princess out.. Before......
After......
I love having a girly girl. After she was all dolled up we met the boy over at Pirate Island and the kids got to explore, climb and play...
Then we headed over to California adventure but we had to take a quick photo stop with the Queen of Hearts.....
In CA Adventure they have this fun place that is called Wilderness Explorer's Camp. Its a HUGE play area with rope bridges, zip lines, rock climbing walls and of course Doug and Russel from UP....
If you go at the right time the kids get maps of the area. On the map are 6 challenges for them to complete. Once they finishes you can catch a ceremony at the camp site and become Senior Wilderness Explorer's just like Russel. Its a really cute little show they do and Russel comes out, Keven makes a appearance, and then you get to take pics with Russel and get your "badge" (its a sticker but its super cute).....
Every trip we do at least one Family pic that we buy as a memory to hang up at home of our trip. This time we got one from our first ride as a family on CA Screaming (I have to scann it so I can put it in here).....
Its a huge, fun, fast roller coaster with a loop, lots of huge drops and the best part a super fast take off. Every time we have gone Sky was not tall enough to go on it (you have to be at least 48 inch). It has been the only ride she couldn't go on for so long, and has been calling her name like crazy (she is my thrill seeker). As fast as my kids grow I knew she would be tall enough in no time but I was a bit shocked that at 6 years old she hit the mark. She was just tall enough for the ride and loved every bit of it. I think we hit it like 4 times on our trip. It was so fun seeing her face on it, I don't think she really knew how fast it was, so it was pretty funny watching her reactions. I'm a little more frightened by the fact my 6 year old is 4 feet tall (only 15 inches shorter then me what the heck!!).
It was such a fun trip, we always have a good time at Disneyland but this was our last trip for a few years.
Thank you Disneyland for all the wonderful family memories we have made with you. We will be back, we just need a bit of a break. Hhhhhmmmm Maybe we will do a Disney Cruise to pass the time? :)
