Grammie and Gramps got Jake and Mia a trip to Disneyland as a joint
birthday present.....they are the luckiest kids ever! Sooo, Grammie and
I loaded up the kiddos while Brian was away on a LONG business trip and
headed South. The trip was filled with lots of fun, smiles,
memories.....and of course, whining!!! It was surprisingly crowded
since it was the middle of the week and before school got out, and kids
this age are just not cut out for waiting in 45 minute lines!
Disneyland was great but I equally enjoyed the memories that just made
the trip special....staying in a hotel with Grammie, playing in the pool
until dark, Jake getting to watch fireworks with Grammie, and a road
trip with some of my favorite people on the planet. THANK YOU, Grammie
(and Gramps) for the trip.....they kids will remember it forever.
What's better than donuts in the hotel!?
We waited an hour and half to see the princesses. Oh my.
Pretty sure this was right before he threw the biggest fit ever and I officially became the meanest mom in the happiest place on earth.
Bliss....
This one does not lack personality, that is for SURE!
Space Mountain!!
She had to coax him, but Jake did give Belle a hug
Teacups!
Waiting in line.....again.
That smile was worth the 45 minute wait!
Riding the HUGE Mickey Mouse ferris wheel
Mia convincing me that she's tall enough to ride....
Love those smiles!
Poor Jake and Mia waiting in line 3x for a pic with the storm troopers and this was as good as it got!
Princesses......she was in heaven!
Rainforest cafe
Pit stop on the road trip!
This is how the they roll......oh, to be a kid these days!
