Surprise trip to Disneyland

 
Because my sister was going to Disneyland with her family, and thanks to Shauna's early birthday present to the kids, I decided to take a last minute trip to California to spend a couple days at Disneyland.  The kids were so excited!  Here we are riding the tram from the parking lot.
We got to meet lots of characters in Cars Land.  Caleb would not take his eyes off Lightning McQueen.
 
Lily's favorite ride was the big roller coaster that her poor cousin was an inch too short to go on with her.
Isaac liked the bumper cars.  He did not like the Tower of Terror!  It was pretty scary!  After that he asked if every ride was scary.  Poor kid.
Caleb was super happy to not be in his stroller, not be waiting in line, and have water to splash in.  He giggled soo much.
Silly Isaac checking out Luigi's tires.
On a Bugs Life ride that went "up, up, up"!
 Here we are with my sister's kids watching the parade at California Adventure.
 
 
 Lily loved dancing around and popping the bubbles.
Saying goodbye to Cars Land!
We enjoyed the lights and water show, though it was hard to hold up Caleb the whole time because it was quite long!  Kids were quite exhausted too.
 
Second day at Disneyland!  Lily loved the Space Mountain and Matterhorn Bobsleds.  Isaac liked  Star Tours and Buzz lazer shooter ride.  Caleb enjoyed the Pooh ride and the Jungle boat tour.  Lily thought the Indiana Jones ride was scary!
Caleb was quite afraid of the characters.  He would say "hi" but only from a good distance away!
He also wouldn't take his eyes off that Buzz...
This was Lily's favorite ride when she came at age 3. :)
Here we are waiting for the Finding Nemo submarines.  This ride was lacking one thing... REAL FISH!  What's wrong with keeping a few real fish in the water so there is something to actually look for?
Caleb had the toughest time in the lines, especially as we got closer to the front. He wanted to dart in front of people, go over railings, anything to get to the ride!
Inside the submarines
Riding the rockets!

 Meeting Pluto
Noo way! from Caleb.
 
Lily was all hugs.
The kids loved the Mickey's parade at Disneyland too.  So much fun!
 
Shauna's phone. :)
 Luigi's tires... it was like floating on ice
 Where does the road stop and the picture begin?
 The boys loved this talking Mr. Potato Head... and the Toy Story ride, super fun
 Here we all are at the Submarine ride
 DUMBO... classic!
 Caleb loved this ride too!
 I think this is Space Mountain....
