We got to go to California a few weeks ago to see Josh's drop-down-gorgeous sister get married to the man of her dreams. It was a beautiful day, and they are a wonderful couple. We are so excited for them. While we were there, we got to go to Disneyland for free! Cha-ching! It was so fun. We contemplated paying for the tickets before we knew we could go for free. We're glad we didn't spend the money though because when we asked Anna what her favorite ride was, she responded, "the merry-go-round". Um, the mall has a merry-go-round for $1. Lesson well learned, don't do things that cost a lot before your kids can appreciate it.
Here are a few pics from the day. We're hot and sweaty in these so please, don't look close. ;-)
We thought that Anna would LOVE the Ariel ride because she is completely obsessed with her. Instead she screamed bloody murder because it was dark. Now, when we talk about it, she says that she'll like it when she gets bigger. At least she gets that things will be less scary when she's older.
I loved walking down this street. Disney is magical, huh?
The favorite part....
Can't you just feel Andrew's excitement? We almost didn't take him on this because we thought he would care less. To our surprise it was just the opposite. He squealed and laughed the ENTIRE time. I've never seen him so happy. That's my Andrew.
This is how we spent our time waiting in line. Andrew loves to eat Josh's face!
We had to ride the Dumbo ride of course. All of the lines were only about 15-20 minutes! It was awesome!
The teacups were super fun. Anna loved them!!!
Looks like Andrew is trying to be a tough guy. He was exhausted after like 30 minutes.
He couldn't take it any longer. He was OUT!!
It was super fun to see some characters. By this time of day, the kids had had it. Goofy was our only stop before dropping them off at home.
If you know me at all, you will be shocked by this next statement. I rode my first rollercoaster. I know, it's shocking. Me of all people. I have been deathly afraid of roller coasters my entire life. Now, at 25, I can say I've been on one and loved it. I didn't know that my first one would have a loop but it did and it wasn't even that bad. I seriously almost fainted before I stepped on. No, really. My whole body went numb, my head got light, and I felt like I was going to throw up. It was a big day for me. I'm glad I had Josh by my side. Here we are waiting to go on Soaring Over California. It was so cool.
I know, I know. We look ridiculous. But do you want to know what was even more ridiculous was this movie. It was a Michael Jackson crazy 3-D movie. The 3-D part didn't even work and it was seriously the worst thing I've ever seen. How does something like that get into Disneyland??
I love Disneyland!
It was fun to be there with my best friend.
This is just before Space Mountain! SO fun!
It was absolutely one of the most fun days ever! We loved it! More blogs and pics to come soon! ;-)

Oh my gosh, I tell Dale all the time that I want to take the kids to Disneyland (or world, whatever...). It looks like you guys had so much fun! And for free too! Awesome!
I love Disneyland and I can't believe you had never been on a roller coaster. I too am afraid of them, but Chris loves them and so I have put on a brave face many a time...sometimes the brave face turns to tears, other times to shock, other times to laughter! I can't wait until Sam is old enough to even enjoy the merry-go-round!
