More on Disneyland

Now that I am finally caught up on laundry I thought I would post more about our trip.

First up is a video clip of Ben participating in the Jedi Training. When we first went and saw this Ben was not chosen. After the show he told us he really wanted to be picked. So we decided to attend one more time and hope Ben was picked. I told Ben he had to jump up and down and get really excited if he wanted to be picked. Luckily he was one of the last one chosen. I was getting very nervous he would not be picked.




The first day we spent in Disneyland. It was great because the park was not very crowded. So the most time we had to wait in a line was about 10 minutes. It was also very nice to be able to take Katelyn on the rides. This made for a much more enjoyable time for her. Although I will say that some of the rides made me nervous.

The second day we spent in California adventure. This did not have as many rides as the main Disneyland park but they still had a good time. This is a picture of the boys favorite ride. This was one of the few rides we repeated. The spinning made poor John sick so we had to take a break after the ride.

The third day we were back in Disneyland going on rides we missed the first day. Also we had dinner in Goofy's Kitchen. This was expensive but the kids really enjoyed it. This is my favorite picture.
I love how excited the boys would get anytime a character came around. Most of them they had no idea who they were but they would still jump up and hug them and say hi. Like here is one with Dale.

That night we also stayed for fireworks which were very impressive. They even had Tinkerbell flying through the air.

The fourth day we went to California Adventure and Disneyland. We repeated several rides. This was a crowded day so not as enjoyable as the other days. But still fun. Here is a pictures that summons up how we all felt after a long and very fun vacation.

Disneyland

Well it is Thursday morning and we have already enjoyed 2 fun filled days of Disneyland. The kids have really enjoyed it. Including Katelyn who had been able to go on almost all of the rides. Last night I told Jacob we had to go back to the hotel and go to bed because we have to go Disneyland tomorrow. He stared to laugh and said we have to go tomorrow. Here are a few highlight pictures.

Every where we went Katelyn tried to climb through the fences.
