Disneyland!

For Christmas this year my parents decided to pay for a house near Disneyland for a week instead of presents, so in February we loaded up the kids and headed down! It's only about a 6 hour drive from our house, so it wasn't too bad. We spent a week in the park, so there are a lot of pictures!

We got there on Saturday evening, so we spent Sunday going to church and visiting Grandpa Dal.

When Monday came we were excited and ready to go! Will was so fun and excited; everyone wanted to ride with him!

The twins were too little to really understand what was going on, but they still seemed to enjoy the baby rides!

Will got pretty worn out with all the running around. Luckily, Papa was there. But we had to wake him up when the cars came out to visit!

Will was about an inch too short to go on the Cars ride, but we enjoyed it, and leaving the kids with Grandma and Papa for a little while.

Will also got some good cousin time in. He and Ellie are so cute together!

My parents were nice enough to take the kids for us a couple of nights so Adam and I could go on the big kid rides. It was so great. I love Disneyland all lit up at night.

Will enjoyed going on rides with everybody! Michael was kind of a loner after Diana left, so he was a good choice.

Look at those cute cowpokes!

We tried taking Will around to meet some of the characters. It didn't really go as great as we hoped, since he ended up being scared of all of them.

He enjoyed the superhero area though, and got to do an Ironman flight simulation and look at all his suits.

At least Jordyn was brave enough to meet the heroes.

We may or may not have bribed Will to go give Chewbacca a big hug. We didn't get a great picture, but he followed through! and got a Chewbacca build-a-bear.

Jordyn always wanted turns to carry babies. Even though they are almost as big as her.

A lot of the rides went about like this... one adult, one baby, and Will.

 

We tried to meet Aladdin first thing one morning when we got to the park. Turns out none of my kids were big fans.

We were able to stay late one night to go see the World of Color. Everybody loved it. Even the babies were totally into it.

And what would a trip to Disneyland be without meeting Mickey Mouse!

Everybody's favorite ride was Toy Story Midway Mania. We could take all the kids on it, and Will thought it was great (even though he struggled to hit the targets).

There were a couple rides that we were allowed to take the babies on, but they couldn't sit on our laps. The teacups was one of them.

The twins were not big fans.

We spent five days in the park, and then Saturday came and it was time to go back home. We loved it and can't wait to go again!
