Disneyland

I can't believe that I forgot to post about our trip to Disneyland last month. Sandy and I were realizing that the boys and girl, especially the biggest boy, were getting to the age where the "magic" of Disneyland was disappearing. So we decided to spend a few days there for one last family vacation while they're all still "kids."

See what I mean? Our tween was going back and forth between "This is awesome!" and "I'm too old for this kid's stuff." Thankfully, it was mostly the former.

We got Emery an autograph book so most of her time was spent doing this. Princesses were the top choice, but she'd take any autograph!

Cinderella was a highlight for sure.

But the biggest prize of them all were the princesses from Frozen - Anna and Elsa. The line for them was 3-4 hours! Thankfully, we got up early on the last day and got 2nd in line at the entrance gate.

Then we ran up Main Street to get to the rope first. Do you see how no one is out in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle? The park hasn't opened up yet! Then, we speed walked (I got yelled at for running earlier) to Anna and Elsa and only had to wait about 20 minutes. The things a dad will do for his daughter!

Matt had fun at the Lego Store. He got himself a Lego watch.

He had fun with a little bumper car driving.

Until he saw me coming in for the kill!

For the first time, we stayed at a Disney hotel. It was so convenient to walk from the hotel to the parks every morning.

Mom's still got it. California cool.

Andrew tried to share the Gospel with a Storm Trooper. Ha!

The Storm Trooper tried to get Emery to join the dark side. Didn't work.

The World of Color show was fabuloso!

Thumbs up for Disneyland!
