Boys' First Trip to Disneyland

While we were at Newport Beach we figured we might as well take our kids to Disneyland while we were so close. We went on a hot, crowded, July day but it was totally worth it! The kids did so well that we even stayed until almost midnight. They put on a fire work show for the Fourth of July and we made the kids stay up for that but they went right to sleep after it was over. We wore them out!
Here we are at the beginning of the day excited to spend the day with the boys at the "Happiest place on earth!"

Our first stop was the Finding Nemo ride. Luckily, it wasn't too crowded because it was already getting hot and it was only 10 am. Here's cute Bridger waiting in line for the ride.

Graham loved looking out the window of the submarine and seeing all the fish swim around!

Bridger thought it was an awesome ride too.

Of course, Bridger's favorite ride was the Carousel when he got to ride the horseys. He wanted to go on that over and over.

My two boys in front of the Princess Castle. Bridger wanted to meet Sleeping Beauty so he could dance with her and sing "I know you..." but we couldn't find her all day.

We brought our own lunch and snacks so we found a nice cool area to sit down and eat. It felt good to sit down and take a break for a while.

Jake and I got to go on all the rides we wanted to. We just took turns watching the boys and then one of us would use our fast pass to go on the ride and switch places while the other person went. It was great! We never waited in line for more than 1/2 an hour on any ride. On a few of them the workers felt sorry for us and just let us go up the exit. That was sweet!


At night time we went on all the little kids rides. Bridger was SO close to being able to go on the Matterhorn and got past one worker but when we got to the front of the line they measured him again and she didn't let him go. But she gave us a free pass to get on any ride we wanted. So we went straight on Peter Pan since that's always a long line. We rode the carousel a few times, the train, the cars, Pirates of the Caribbean, Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, Indiana Jones, Finding Nemo, Dumbo, and all the kid's ride. It was a blast! And the boys loved it which was the best of all!
