Holiday Disney Adventure

This past Tuesday we headed down south for a disney day.  Rain was predicted but we decided to chance it and go anyways, and it all worked out for the best, a few showers but we didn't get soaked.

Packing to go you would have thought we were going to Alaska for 2 weeks, I brought all the warm clothes the boys own so we would have plenty of changes if we got soaked.

Scott was pretty darn excited, normally not much a morning person (understatement) when Brian went to wake him at 6 to drive down the moment he mentioned it was time to go to disneyland Scott shot out of bed and was giddy with excitement the rest of the morning.

Owen doesn't remember his last and only other trip to disney, so it was fun to sort of watch him experience all the excitement for the first time.

Staying dry during the first rain of the day, before we even got into the park.

I have to admit, I'm a sucker for Disneyland all done up for Christmas.

Our first ride was Buzz Lightyear.  Scott was so pumped, Owen didn't know what to expect.  This is the first room where Owen was enthralled with the giant, talking Buzz.

It took all of 20 seconds for Owen to HAAAATE the ride.  He was so scared and it was so sad.  

A few minutes later (near the end of the ride) he got into it a little more, he did have a laser blaster after all.

 Our next few rides he hated and covered his eyes and buried his face in either Brian or me.  Once we rode the Toy Story ride in California Adventure he was finally getting the hang of rides and started having a blast.  At the very end he looked at me while pulling his little shooter on the ride like a crazed person and screamed, "KEEP SHOOTING!!!"  Hilarious!

We visited Cars Land:

I made all the boys ride the Ariel ride with me, they were stoked.

Small World:

They are the cutest brothers in the history of the world:

Loved this tree inside the small world ride:

Oh and this sign:

Then Toon Town:

And then I figured out why people think they are twins:

It was cold and we were hungry so we headed to downtown Disney on our way out of the park, or so we thought.  After a quick bite we rallied and the boys asked for one more ride.  I think we got like 100 parenting points for saying yes.  Back to califonia we went for one more round of Toy Story ride.

 But not before I forced some pictures on my dudes!

 I'm glad we got to back in and see all the decorations lit up.

It was a looong, cold day, but it was filled with many great memories!
