So, I'm going to let the pictures tell the story for this one, I uploaded about a million. And they are all in random order. We spent all day Thursday, the 6th, in Disneyland. Friday we spent in California Adventure, and then back to Disneyland on Saturday. Here goes!
Here is Uncle Joe on It's a Small World. It was his favorite ride. I'm pretty sure we went on it 3 or 4 times just for him.
Pluto. Jacob's there, he's just more focused on hugging him than on the picture.
Toon Town
Alice in Wonderland. Check out how short that girl is!!
Brielle, Grandma and Grandpa
The tea cups, my very least favorite ride. I totally got out of it this trip. Awesome! Joe said Caleb about lost his lunch at one point.
The Pixar Parade in California Adventure
Waiting for the parade to start. Brooke made a new friend who loved cotton candy...
More tea cups
The monster! Love Jacob's hands in this one.
The new Ariel ride, we really liked this one.
Brothers
My boys with Buzz
We really wanted a good picture of the kids in front of the castle, but apparently Jacob didn't care. He was falling apart. Nice.
Brielle had her eyes on this horse with the bells the entire time we were in line. She made it her own personal mission to get it. And she did.
Still crying...
The sword in the stone
We wore grandma right out.
My favorite picture of the entire trip. We took it right as we were leaving on Saturday night.
My family
I love grandma's face in this picture. Love. it. We had to wait a really long time for World of Color to start, and we were tired. It was worth it though!!
Ariel
Tarzan's Tree House
Caleb in Mickey's House
The Balch Family, minus 2
Waiting in line for Pixie Hollow
We needed a rest so we hoped on the train.
We also had a snack while we rode around Disneyland.
The Haunted Mansion, the Halloween decorations were incredible.
Jacob loves easy cheese
This kid loved every single minute of this trip.
Mickey Ice Cream, their dad spoils them rotten.
Yes, that's a Red Bull. But before you call CPS it's okay because it was gone and Joe poured Diet Coke in it instead.
Winnie the Pooh
A whole lot of tired people.
My second favorite picture of the entire trip. Check out Grandma's face!!
Saturday night we had a once in a lifetime experience. We were able to have dinner in Club 33. I know, you've never heard of it. It is a private club for members right inside Disneyland. It is in New Orleans Square. Charles was hooked up by someone with a membership, and luckily they had an opening for us. The way it works is you get into the park "for free" you just have to spend as much on your meal as an entrance ticket would cost. Which was not hard...The "kids meals" were $60 plus $6 for a souvenir cup. They only charged Caleb $10 for his meal because he gets in the park for free. So, yes it was pricey, but such an awesome experience. Brielle ate it up! Her and Brooke both got Fillet Mignon for dinner. This is the children's dessert. Now, as you know, my kids are gaggers. So we are in this fancy fancy restaurant, and Jacob tries his Mickey Mouse cake...and it was gross. He started gagging and I had visions of him hurling in Club 33. Luckily he contained himself and now every time he sees this picture he talks about how yucky it was and how he almost puked. Ugh. Anyway, totally awesome experience!!
Brooke and Brielle's souvenirs. They have all the big Barbie sized princesses and were so excited for them all to have kids! Now we have to buy a big Pocahontas, we are missing her.
Sunday morning we were up and on our way to St. George, we spent that afternoon and Monday morning just chilling. Charles played a little golf on Monday and then we were on our way home. And our kids were exhausted. It is a rarity for Brielle to fall asleep in the car and when she does she refuses to admit that she did. Now I have proof! And I love the Mickey ears in the background. Until next year!!
