DISNEYLAND!!!

From October 17th-19th, Justin had a convention he was attending at the Disneyland Hotel. Since that happened to fall on Ryan's birthday, we decided to make a fun family trip out of it!!! Since Justin would be spending much of his time in classes at the convention, my mom came with us to join in the fun and help me out with the boys! As we drove up to the hotel, we were greeted by Mickey himself!!! The boys were BEYOND excited!!! I've never stayed at the Disneyland Hotel before, so I was excited too! The entrance to Downtown Disney from our hotel!

When we got into our room, we were all amazed at the intricate details there were! The headboard for both beds lit up and sang Disney songs! The pillow said "A dream is a wish your heart makes... when you're fast asleep!"

The sconces in the bathroom were Mickey hands holding a Mickey lamp and so much more!!!
We got to see Disneyland in all its Halloween glory!!! The Haunted Mansion! We were so excited to be at Disneyland! Our boys are the perfect age to go and enjoy the "Happiest place on Earth!!!" ...The Rides...
We couldn't decide which rides to go on first, and which lines were worth waiting in, but we got to go on everything we wanted to!
Austin's first pick was the carousel!
Classic Dumbo!
Mad Hatter's Tea Cups!

Austin was getting sick on this ride and was making the funniest faces. I couldn't stop laughing at him! He definitely had his Daddy's stomach!

Up...Up... and Away in "A Bug's Land!"

Crazy Ladybugs!

One of Ryan's favorites was Peter Pan! Getting ready for the Buzz Lightyear ride on Midway Mania at California Adventure!

Monster's Inc. ride! This will forever be Ryan's most treasured memory of this ride! As you get off, Roz from the movie says things to the riders. Someone controls what she says, and seeing Ryan's Mickey ears they said, "Young Man in the front... Happy Birthday!!!" He was beyond excited and has been telling everyone since then about his special message!The Astro Blaster ride in Tomorrowland!

The boys loved the flying rockets!

"Waaaahoooo!!! Yeah Baby!!!" This is what Ryan yelled on any ride he really enjoyed! We heard it here and on his favorite Thunder Mountain!!!

Austin loved this one once Nana taught him how to control it! We managed to escape the rain until our last day! Since it poured for a good hour, we rode around the park on the train you always see but never ride! We had a great time seeing Disneyland from a different view and staying dry in the process!

So much more fun was had, so check back later to see what else we did and what/who we saw!
