Pirates

Pirates of the Caribbean is our favorite family ride. We always make sure and ride it as our last ride before the park closes because it is the longest ride there!

Foster and I

It was fun to see the reaction of the park staff when they asked how many in our group and we said "eighteen", we got a whole boat to ourselves!

It was so nice to have sisters to hold fussy babies (Pearl) when my feet and back were tired.

Fun, Fun, Fun

The stroller was built to fit Foster. Most of the time we wouldn't even know when he fell asleep because he would just sit like normal.

The lights were so pretty, I wish we would have gotten a picture of everyone!

Aric was a wild man on rides. Whoever goes first, gets soaked!

I realized this fact too late!

Redwood Creek Challenge

This was a favorite at California Adventure. We could spend hours in the redwood creek challenge.

The kids liked going on Heimlich's chew chew train, grandpa was being a good sport. They liked the watermelon smell the best.

Red day was lots of fun. We were picked to open the park. The park attendant said that usually he picks smaller groups, but that he liked our spirit. We got to be the first ones in Disneyland, sign their official guest book and be honorary citizens for the day! Next he had us count down and say "Let the magic begin!" to open the park.

The kids enjoyed counting the bricks with mickey symbols on them.

Tea Cups and Dumbo

Every visit to Disneyland has to include a ride in the tea cups and Dumbo!

Foster, Pearl, and I on Dumbo. Daddy had to click fast as we went by and luckily Foster held the controller down so that we could be seen, other than that picture we were up in the air!

Andrew rode with Abigail.

Toon Town

The kids loved Toon town although it wasn't my favorite place to be.

Foster pushed down on this plunger for at least 15 minutes before he got the right explosion that he wanted.

It was worth the wait to take a picture with Mickey at his house.

Foster also loved this car, we couldn't get him off of it after we took the picture!

This picture has a story behind it. While I was feeding Pearl and Ryan took the kids to wander around toon town and play with things. After a while, Ryan realized that he hadn't seen Foster and asked the other kids where he was. NO one had seen him so Ryan started looking and calling his name. Foster heard him and came out on deck of Donald's house saying "I here". He had just decided to do his own thing and explored Donald's house by himself.
