Don't you hate it when people type like that? I do...in fact it really bugs me...
OK this post took me over a freakin hour to do and then it didnt save over half of what i had typed...ugh...so that being said, it is very very long post but i know that some of you will appreciate it and you better leave comments BRAYDEE because nobody believes it just wont let u.
since we renewed our passes we've been hittin up the ol' d-land quite a bit these past few months...so i thought id post a few pics, random and from multiple trips with different people but i just gotta show one of our favorite destinations once or twice a month....
First Jeff and Laura came down for Thanksgiving...ya i said thanksgiving...i know thats old and im lame, whatever im over it...we took the kids for a day of fun but the usual parking lot was closed...so we had to park at some random hotel lot really far away and take a bus to the park...which really wasn't a big deal considering we didn't have that much stuff...
p.s. i need to take a moment to
publicly apologize to Laura!
ive been to
disneyland probably more times then i can count but i have NEVER parked at that weird lot and we
didnt have a
gps and i got us
sooooo lost! it took almost an hour to correct! SORRY LAURA! i should never have been your guide.
are they excited...i can't tell...
we decided to kill a little time while they got their passes sorted out. love that the
christmas decor is already up in
November.
some nice lady stopped by and offered to take one of the both of us
he loves this old fire engine
let the line
waitin' begin!
i just love this pic...
dont know why considering its
off centered and they have red eyes but i just do.. p.s. it was pitch black in there so i think i did a dang good job
ugh mom...
dont distract me!
love my
little blaster buddy
laura tryin to tell her kids that this is gonna be fun and
ty totally NOT convinced...it's dark in there..he knows what's in store. i just love the cute little look of concern on his face in this pic.
i love
takin pics while the ride is
runnin...u never know what you're gonna get. can you tell how much
dyl loves the
matterhorn?
jk, he really does like this ride...i
dont know whats
goin' on in this picture.
this one's kinda weird but i like it so...here ya go!
they made it! don't you love crew's face, "
ty why
didnt you warn me?!? i was totally led into that blindly!"
after we had thoroughly traumatized our children we decided to kick it down a notch and ride something they might actually enjoy. can you tell how much he hates this ride? its probably one of his top three favorites. i just love this pic of him...wish the lighting was better though.
here's what it looks like to everyone in line behind you when you've got five kids in a group. get over it people, there's three moms here, why is this so unbelievable to you?
i just love
alice in wonderland
this next one is for my siblings...remember when mom used to make us take pics here
every time as kids? let the tradition of
torture continue (sorry mom but it is NOT cool to be in junior high pretending to knock on a
miniature door so the make believe rabbit can let you in)
they
didnt seem to mind it...yet....just you wait kids! give it ten years.
next, onto my least favorite ride...my stomach just cannot take these anymore
the girls cup:
and the boys cup...plus me
this next sequence of pictures is by far my
fav...how can you look at their faces and deny the magic of
disneyland...all you haters out there can eat your words as you watch them LOVE this ride...(p.s. they
werent even hardly turning it at all..
thats what makes these even better) they were just laughing hysterically the entire time
the ladies man...this was taken moments before a member of the litter crew came over to ask us to "please get our children down from the light pole...it really isn't safe" its times like these i really wish i could flip people off.
hooray! small world! for those of you rolling your eyes, the kids love it! plus it was way cute for
christmas time. p.s. that's lauras bro and sis in law curt and angie (sorry for the spelling!) when they heard she was comin down to hit up disney they decided they had to come too! so fun! i especially loved all their cute disney gear...i wish rick even LIKED disneyland...sigh
ok i love this pic...probably because i love this kid. i
dont know what it is about crew but i just am one of his biggest fans...i think he has one of the most adorable little faces, i love his personality and his voice kills me.
im so glad he and
dyl are buds.
ok this pic was way harder then it looks thanks to the escaping children and constantly getting your face scratched off by the freaking pine needles.
last ride of the night was the train that tours the park.
ty was
dyin to go on it all day so we decided to go out with a bang. the kids loved it and it was nice and relaxing for us mamas...phew, who knew a day at the happiest place on earth could be so much work!?
what? go again tomorrow and leave the kids at home? SURE! bring on the 3d glasses pics...you take them
every time you go no matter what.
scott and
catherine gettin into it...yes rick and i took one too but i am NOT posting it...so there
i love this next one
cheese!
this is laura's attempt at looking scared on command (don't worry she totally redeems herself in a couple seconds) for the record laura is terrified of rollercoasters so i think she was a good sport for goin on screamin...its a pretty good little coaster.
ricks crazy wind blown hair look...i know, creepy right?
and here we go...i knew she could do better...see eveyone else laughing at her sheer panic? shame on you all!
sorry could you really not get the full effect, allow me to zooom in. there is Laura completley freaked out...and there is scott dying from laughing so hard. next time you can ride with me laura!
how bout tower of terror? oh crap you hate that one too? oh well lets ride it anyway...here we are right before take off....laura's just tryin to find her safety bar
and there we are...im in the far right corner, followed by rick, some random guy, scott, catherine and in the other corner jeff and laura - who is holding on for dear life and has a look on her face like someone is holding a gun to her head....we're havin fun...right?
ok after that we went on rides she actually enjoys. in her defense the only two rides she didnt like were tower of terror and screamin. but i had to post this next pic, even tho my head is already big enough without being the focal point of a picture, because i love lauras face! i love takin random pics when nobody expects it...you always get the most fun facial expressions.
it was a super fun night, thanks guys!
Yay Braydee's here! Lets got to Disneyland!!!
waitin for Soarin' over California
Anyways we had a ton of fun all three times we went...the only thing not fun was postin the dang thing. oh well...we sure love disneyland, next time you're in town lets go!
I love this next one
drippin' wet
time to dry off on the bikes
Can you tell how much this kid hates riding bikes?
love the shirtless back...such a boy!
ok...anyone that has a son is welcome to move onto our street...dyl is surrounded by girls. which, by the way he doesn't mind showing off for...just like his daddy :)
they came up with this pose all on their own
a few days later Ty and Crew came down for a visit...so there were plenty of nights spent in Grandma Daltons awesome spa
Marley just ADORES Nash. He's not so sure about her...all he knows is that when she's around he's bound to be knocked over by her attempt at a hug. He keeps his eyes on her whenever she's nearby, it's really funny. They're about four months apart and he is the cutest little chunk ever...he totally reminds me of my baby Dyl...aw...he's growing up so fast!
Mar and Matthew...sorry for the red eyes...this is a rush so im not editing anything
These two were too funny together, two peas in a pod
gotta have a shot of the half bum suits...don't you just love that?
anyways it was a super fun week...summer we are excited that you are just around the corner.
uh oh Bri!
