Vacation-Disneyland!

We spent the last 2 days of our vacation at Disneyland. We were lucky enough to have my in-laws join us and we all had a great time, despite the cooler than usual temperatures and the huge crowds (because of winter break, we think). Andrew was excited to have his grandparents with him. First ride was Autopia. He went on it twice while we were there as well as Dumbo, the carousel, the jungle cruise and of course saw lots of the characters. We were able to convince him to go on a couple of new rides this time too. We took him on Pirates of the Caribbean. He didn't love it and ducked his head for a lot of the ride, but he didn't seem too scared either. He also went on Soarin' California and liked the ride until the end when there are fireworks. After the ride he kept telling us that he didn't want to go on the small airplane anymore. The other new "ride" he went on was the boat that goes around Tom Sawyers island and he really enjoyed it. Nate and I were able to go on a few rides by ourselves too: California Screamin' and Big Thunder Mountain- two of our favorites! And while we were there, Andrew built a new car at Ridemakerz. He picked out the Jeff Gordon car all on his own and Daddy & Papa were so proud!
The only picture we got with all 6 of us, too bad you can't see either one of the kids faces.




He loved this hat and just had to have it!

Andrew fell asleep sitting up as soon as we put him to bed. He was exhausted after his first day at Disneyland.

California Screamin- so fun!

5 minutes in the car on our way back to Palm Spring he was asleep. He slept almost the whole way back.

Emersyn and Andrew sound similar, very particular about certain things. Too cute. :) I can't wait to take Ems to Disneyland!!!! Maybe next Summer when her baby brother/sister is turning one. :)
