Disneyland

On our way home from Tucson we stopped at Disneyland. We rode all the good rides for over 12 hours and hardly had to wait in line. Davey and Kella are into the "big kid" rides now ... Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, Star Tours, The Matterhorn, Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Carribean, etc. The twins were great ... AND ... way overstimulated all day long. They were so excited to see all the Disney characters in person that they see on TV every day.


Elyssa and Joshua definitely have "Mickey Mouse" as part of their vocabulary. The hardest part for Joshua was waiting in line to see Mickey. He was all worked up by the time it was our turn to see him.


The twins had a blast in Toon Town.

We're not quite ready for David to get his driver's license. This is the closest he'll get for at least 6 more years.

David and Kella had a blast. The last time they were at Disneyland David was 6 and Kella was 4. They remember going, but they had alot more fun this time since they are older.

"I'm a little teacup short and stout ..."

David and Kella rode Star Tours 3 times. This was one of their favorite rides. They only had to wait in line for 15 minutes once and then walked on the other 2 times.

Joshua loved all the Disney characters. He didn't quite understand why he had to wait in line and couldn't run in front of everyone else (which led to a few meltdowns during the day ... we worked through it just fine). We invested in backpack "leashes" for the twins, which worked out great. We would let the twins run around on the leash for an hour or so and then put them back in their stroller.

It was a fun day and we will definitely go back when the twins are a little older.
