We decided to do Disneyland during the week to avoid the crowds. Our first day of Disney was on Monday. The day started a little rough. The kids were way excited to go to Disneyland but I knew Londynn would probably fight us on the rides, and she did. We thought that if we started her on way easy rides and worked our way up that she would be good. We started with the teacups and right away it was "I don't want to go on that ride", being the mean mom that I am I made her go on it. It took a lot of talking to and convincing her that it wasn't scary. Once the ride started the words that came out of her mouth were "that's not so bad after all". It ended up being her favorite ride and we rode it many times. This was the perfect time of year to go. I don't think we waited in any line for more than 15 minutes.
That first day we all wore ourselves out, as you should at Disneyland and by the end of the night I ended up with the worst migraine of my life. So not fun!
On Tuesday we decided to take the day off of Disney (we had a 3 day pass) and just relax and do a little shopping. Wednesday and Thursday we hit it hard again; however, by Thursday we were worn out and only lasted about a half of day. When we go again I think we will do the 3 day pass again but this time allow enough time to have a day off in between each day.
This here is the Londynn "I don't want to go on that ride" face.
The 2nd day she was rewarded with these ears for trying new rides.
The whole fam (and some strange guy in the way)!
My cute nephew Bryton and Mark. Bryton wasn't quite sure what to think of pluto.
Boston loved seeing the characters. Londynn not so much. She viewed them from a distance.
This was Boston when he saw Woody from Toy Story. He LOVES Toy Story. I would say this was probably the highlight of the whole trip. It was so fun to see him get so excited.
Mark, Heather and Bryton.

Overall the vacation was a success and we all had a fun time. We had plans to stop in St. George for the night to split up the drive but our kids surprised us and were awesome in the car so we drove straight through. And there you have it......

How much fun!! We had to trick the boys into a few things, like the Matterhorn and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad...I'm such a mean mom! Glad you got to go!
