The Happiest Place On Earth

Last week we had the opportunity of going to Disneyland with my birth parents, niece and nephew. We had sooooo much fun! It was a trip that we will remember forever. We stayed at the Disneyland hotel, but still had to do a lot of walking to get to the park. The monorail was broken quite a bit while we were there, so we were sore at the end of each day! It took Carson and Kylie a day to get used to the new environment and all the excitement. They were a little crabby the first day and a half. After that, we all had such a great time. My favorite part of the trip was having breakfast at Goofy's kitchen. The food was amazing, and the characters all came to our table for pictures. Carson loved Goofy, and Kylie would only allow Cinderella to sit next to her. Kyle's favorite part was the big white roller coaster at California adventure. I was not able to ride it due to my belly=0) but I could tell that it was awesome, by the look on his face. He rode it at least 5 times. He even braved the Hollywood tower of terror with Drew and Kayla. I was glad that I had a great excuse not to hop on that one! Kylie and Carson loved riding on Buzz lightyear, and shooting at the aliens. That and the Merry go round were there favorites. They also enjoyed splashing in the water at the bugs life play area. Kyle and I have never been to Disneyland before when the lines were so short, and the weather was so nice. We were really lucky, and chose a great time to go!

We thought we were pretty special to get this cool airplane to ride in.

Carson's first trip on an airplane. He did so good! He loves them, just like his daddy. Please excuse the pink paci. We are still working on that!

Kylie was happy, and mommy was relieved that there were no crying kids....only happy ones.

We were so happy to be able to take Kylie and Carson to Disneyland. This is something that I have always wanted to do with our kids. We hope to go back in a couple of years, as a family of five!!
