Disneyland Part 4!

Part 4 of our Disneyland trip!

Lots of photos in no particular order:

 

^^Grandpa bought DJ his first set of ears!^^

 

^^Drum solo while waiting in line!^^

 

^^On the Jungle Cruise, she had her hands like this the ENTIRE time. You can't go through the jungle without your binoculars!^^

 

^^We watch a lot of Jake and The Neverland Pirates, and we were walking to out of the bathrooms, when Jake walked around the corner! Savannah stood there in stunned silence, then handed him a sticker. He took it, put it on her shirt, then grabbed her hand and walked with her down the street. Then posed to let us get some photos, and gave her a big hug and kiss. I think this was one of her favorite parts of the entire trip, and I will always remember it!^^

^^Our last day there was the day Ed, Robyn and Tyler got to spend with us at the parks! It was so special for DJ and Savy to have their whole family with them!! Also, 30 seconds after I took this photo, there was a 4.1 earthquake!^^

 ^^This photo was taken after the earthquake. We were waiting to watch Micky and the Magical Map and it happened just as it started, so they shut it down for a bit, so we just stuck around until it started again.^^

 

^^Getting grandma Stokes to guess which hand had the surprise!^^

 

^^How I feel when we are at Disneyland. Don't make me go! Also, just an FYI since she is barefoot in this photo. Remember to pack extra socks for kids! I packed extra clothes and Pajamas to put them in at night while at the park, but I did not pack extra socks in the diaper bag. She got her socks soaked and they wouldn't dry, and we ended up spending 18 bucks on a pack of 2 pairs of socks in Toontown. LEARN from my mistakes! Heed my warning! PACK EXTRA SOCKS!!!

 

^^She was pretty proud of her drawing she did at the animation academy^^

 ^^Savannah's first real roller coaster! She was so excited that she was tall enough to go on it! I measured her at the beginning of the line, and her head barely touched the marker! When we made it to the front of the line, Savannah was so excited, that she measured herself at the marker there to show the cast member that she was tall enough. Remember how I said she was scared of the little kids rides? Well this child has no fear of rollercoasters! She had her arms up and everything!

^^Sleepy babies^^

Our last day was so much fun. I think the highlight that day was Savannah meeting Jake, the roller coaster, and doing the "Turtle Talk With Crush" which is a fun live-animation, intereactive show where kids get to ask Crush, the turtle from Finding Nemo, questions. Savannah was the first kid he talked to, and he called her "Surfin' Savannah" (which is now how she introduces herself most of the time!) and when she told him it was her birthday, he sang the word "Dude" to the tune of Happy Birthday for her. She thought that was pretty awesome.

I have a few more photos from our day at the beach, and someday soon-ish I'll post a few photos from Bryant's phone on here as well.

Disneyland 2014 Part 3!

Sorry I've been breaking our Disneyland trip up into so many posts! I just have so many photos I want to share (and these are not even close to all the ones I took! I really have to pick and choose just a small amount to share on here!)

The 2nd day at Disneyland, my parents had made a reservation for just the 2 of them at the Blue Bayou, and Bryant, Sage, Colter, Sawyer and Kenna all went to get in the 2 hour line for Radiator Springs Racers. I decided to stay with the kids and get some 1-on-1 mommy/kid time with them in Carsland. We rode a few rides there, and 1 in Bugsland, ate lunch together, made a bathroom/diaper run for the both of them, and then took a leisurely stroll around and shopped for a bit.

It was nice to get to spend that time with them at one of my favorite places, with no real rush to be anywhere. 

I met up with everyone, who all wanted to go on Grizzley River Rapids. I didn't really want to get wet, since I had spent a large portion of the day before completely drenched from Splash Mountain, so I decided to head back over to Disneyland and meet my parents when they got done with their lunch. I hopped on the train with the kids and met my parents at the New Orleans Square station, and we road the train all the way around the park. My plan was to have both kids fall sound asleep on the train, but that didn't happen. Both of them were so tired though. Savannah probably would have fallen asleep, if she hadn't gotten so wound up when we were in line waiting for the train to arrive. She met a little boy and kept asking him if he liked unicorns. He was getting annoyed after she had asked him about 10 times, and then Savannah sat down right next to him, held his hand, and laid her head on his shoulder. He got this silly look on his face that looked like it said "what am I supposed to do with this unicorn loving girl on my shoulder?!" So, so funny!

And now, for some photos in no particular order:

 ^^This was our first time seeing Carsland, they were still building it the last time we were there. It's so amazingly cool! I loved it!^^

 ^^This is probably my favorite photo from the whole trip. Both kids giving Grandpa hugs!^^

 

^^Kenna and I randomly decided to run into the animation academy and go to one of the drawing classes. We loved it! We took everyone back on our last night to do it again!^^

 ^^Showing off our sketches of Pooh^^

 

^^Trying to get this guy to take a cute photo with you is like trying to herd cats...^^

 ^^Main Street at night.^^

 

^^DJ and Grandma on the tram!^^

^^Disney Junior Live on Stage! If you have young kids who love Disney Jr. Go see this! It was so fun and cute, and it's nice to get to sit down for a bit! I had to laugh when I realized that I'm no longer going to concerts and singing along with bands, now I'm going to Disney Jr. shows and singing the theme songs to kids shows! (even this morning, I was in the shower humming the theme to Special Agent Oso.)

 ^^Luigi's flying tires, is basically a giant-sized version of air hockey!^^

^^Grandpa got him his first set of ears!^^

 

^"pretending to be dead" is one of her new favorite games^^

 

^^She loved any ride that was high or fast. At the end of our first day, we were in the car and Savannah said to my mom "Grandma, I just wish I was bigger so I could go on all the roller coasters"^^

 ^^Did I purposefully wear the same shirt to match my 10 month old son? Yes, yes I did. (sans drool, of course)^^

 Ok, sorry for the overload on photos! And guess what? There are more to come! woo hoo!

But I will post them later! Have a nice day everyone!
