Disneyland

We recently went to Disneyland with all of my family to celebrate my Mom's Birthday. We surprised her and the kids. We had SOOO much fun. Samantha and Ben were tall enough to ride on most of the big rides. Samantha was so proud that she rode Space Mountain 2 times. But the highlight for her was...lunch at Ariels Grotto. We had never been there and it was so yummy and great to see so many princesses in one sitting. Never again will I spend my time waiting in line to get a pictures with a Princess. Samantha LOVES Sleeping Beauty and was so excited to be able to talk to her and get her picture taken.

Ben was so funny he was just under 40 inches so most of the time they let them on but there were a couple of times that he couldn't get on the ride (like Space Mountain...and he cried forever saying "I just want to fly in space" ). So when we were waiting in line for Soaring over California we were a little bit nervous that they wouldn't let him on. So we were practicing holding his breath and standing as tall as he can...anyway, when we get to the spot where they measure him he stood so tall and the guy says "ok, he can ride" and Ben turns around, punches the air, and looks at us and says "Heck yeah! You see me big?"

Nathan loved everything...especially the trains. But lucky for us he pretty much thought every ride was a train and yelled "all aboard!" every time we got on a ride. I just couldn't get enough of it either so if he forgot I would make sure to remind him to say it... Everyone else was probably sick of it...sorry guys! And of course, he loved seeing Lightning McQueen and Mater. My boys are more than obsessed with cars!

We rode Pirates of the Carribean like 7 times because Ben and Nathan just couldn't get enough. We really had a great trip...now I just need to talk Benson into getting season passes.
