Disneyland from Dad

My Dad, the amazing person that he is, treated our whole family to Disneyland for 4 days last week!!! It was really really fun. Here is a play by play of the entire trip. Wednesday night, we headed up to Cali around 7 ish. We slept at a HoJo, then woke up and checked into the Paradise Pier Hotel. Very cool. Look at Diesel's sweet little pumpkin face in this picture. From there we went straight to the park of course, and played all day.

Zoe met her favorite princess, Jasmine. Remember how last year she wouldnt even look at the princesses even though she was infatuated with them?? Well she is stepping it up now and isnt as shy as last time, so that is a bonus. And way more fun that way!

After a long fun day, we went back to the hotel where they had a freaking awesome little cartoon room with a huge disneyland sand castle with a tv in it playing old Disney cartoons 24 hrs a day. They had little Adirondack chairs like we were at the beach or something, and it was just a fun little place to chill after showering. The kids thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Next morning, we decided to dine at the character breakfast place at the hotel (cant remember the name). This place was a Hawaian theme so Lilo and Stitch were there.

Zoe for some reason was in love with Lilo. She would just hug her, stare at her, rub her cheeks in the most sweet way... I mean look at her sweet little face in these pictures....
Then Pluto asked her to dance.

Here is a video of Zoe doing the hula with Lilo.

Ok, back to Disneyland. Dad and Zoe on some ride in Bugs Life...

Diesel showing off how precious he is. But of course we already knew that.

OH MY GOSH!!! Did I mention that Zoe is now tall enough to go on rides like Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain, Tower of Terror.... can you believe it!!! So she went on all of them. She was petrified on Tower of Terror, trying not to cry and everything, then we got off and she was fine and said she loved it. I don't even like Tower of Terror!! Here is a picture of the picture they show you on the TV's at Disneyland of us on the ride. Notice how me and Travis are both trying to console her???

Zoe was so proud of herself for "being tall!!"

Then it was parade time. You have seen pics of my kids at the parades, so here are some of the precious seeing his first parade. So cute. He loved it!

Zoe and "Cinda-lulla"

K so the next 2 nights we stayed at The Disneyland Hotel. Love that place. Grandma and Grandpa took the kids swimming in the Peter Pans Neverland Pool and they loved it. Goofy was outside ready to greet us!

Here we are at breakfast with Cassie and Kevin at the Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney.

Zoe getting ready to go on Space Mountain, Jellyfish Jump, Thunder Moutain, all rides she has NEVER been on. Oh and I should mention that Austin was also VERY excited because he was now tall enough to go on the Indiana Jones ride. Its great because we have reached the stage where everyone can go on most rides! Its awesome.

Random picture of the Kids and Cruella DeVille. She called them "filthy maggots". The kids thought she was funny. She was a very good actress.
Video of how good of an actress this lady is.

This was probably one of the funner vacations I have had!!! I loved going with everyone, loved seeing Diesel there, it was just a lot of fun. And it really is all thanks to my Dad!!! So thank you Dad, we had tons of fun, and we appreciate all you do for us!! Love you!!!
