DISNEYLAND...

At last only a few months later and our trip to California early this year is coming to a close!!

We topped off our fabulous trip by celebrating birthdays the way they were meant to be celebrated...at Disneyland!

We had not only one.

More that two.

Yes we celebrated three birthdays!

Alli, Andrew, and my Mom all share August 7th as their Birthday! And I am pretty sure that all three loved spending their special day at the "Happiest Place on Earth"!!

We started our day early and lost valuable time as we searched for the stinkin' entrance to the above mentioned "happiest...."! But eventually we made it to the parking garage and rode the tram to the gates!

We were excited to be in the middle of all the Disneyland fun! Our first ride was the Matterhorn! Even Ty got to ride with us (not sure he enjoyed it as much as we did!!)

Because we were only there in Disneyland for one day we tried to make the most of our time. We ran here and there getting Fast Passes for the popular rides and were constantly searching for the elusive Disney Characters to get pictures and autographs!

Of course we hit some of the favorite rides! Here we are spinning on the Tea Cups! Shane and Grandpa sat this one out! (Not sure why!?)We thought the Nemo ride was pretty neat! This photo was taken before they told us "no flash photography". Oops!

Of course we made it to "It's a Small World"...And yes we did sing along! Well...at least one of us did! This is my Mom's favorite ride of all time! And if ever you visit Idaho...(yes I know D-land is not in Idaho just listen) you can hear my sweet father play a tribute to Small World on the piano as a part of his musical ramblings! He loves my mom so much!!!And it was these faces that kept us going all day long! It was a fabulous day...a very tiring one! What a fun way to celebrate my two sweet children's and my wonderful Mother's Birthday! Happy Golden Birthday Alli and Andrew!
