Where Dreams Really Do Come True...

Disneyland was a huge success. We had such a great time and the kids couldn't have been happier. I never thought I would be the type to do Disneyland for more than a day, but I was so glad we were there for the five days. We were never in a rush, we could do our favorite rides multiple times, and it never got old-it was awesome!
There is something to be said about watching your kids so full of excitement. It makes you so happy as a parent! So take a look at our fabulous week where our dreams really did come true:
Our bags are packed...
The first night there, we spent checking out our hotel and Downtown Disney. We stayed at the Grand Californian Resort and Spa. A-MAZ-ING! The place was incredible from the mini rocking chairs in the lobby (so the kiddies can watch a movie while you are checking in), to the bunk beds in the room, to the heated pools (with slides!), and let's not forget the convenience of being in the park. You couldn't ask for more!
Downtown Disney brought good food and balloon swords and flowers. Roman and Capri were so excited about them that Tucker and I were rethinking the whole park thing, maybe we can get away with just this...ok, maybe not.
The whole family:
The famous Mickey Mouse in flowers-you just have to get your picture taken here, no matter that Roman wasn't having it!
California Adventure...we have an "R" and a "C!"

World of Color show...this is a must! I was getting a bit emotional throughout the production:
Roman loved the Monsters Inc. ride...and pretty much every ride there:
While Roman and Daddy were on the "scary" ride of Haunted Mansion, Capri insisted on staying with me and posing for the camera:
Roman wasn't too much a fan of the characters parading around, but he did love it when any of the workers had one of these, a light-up bubble gun. You can imagine how he felt when he got one for himself:
Yes, it was one of the greatest vacations ever!

Oh this trip looks awesome!! I've got to talk to you about Ariels Grotto...Mikayla saw these pictures and about died, I've never seen her so excited to see these princesses in pictures. Better yet, to see "capri" with the princesses! So fun that your family was able to join as well. Great pics!
