Fun Disneyland Photos

Loving his Lego book on the plane

Excited to get going!


Looking forward to seeing Star Wars.  We waited for an hour!  He liked it but said he didn't want to go again.

First time on Thunder Mountain!

Loved the Winnie the Pooh ride because there was NO lines!

We saw Red!

Waited for a long time for this ride too!

Thumbs up! Ready to go!

Ashton loved it!!!





There was a man behind me that worked there doing something and Ashton thought it was funny. Such a cutie!


Excited to ride Cars!

That is the ride we just rode!  It was a blast!
Getting ready to go!

July 4th

Yesterday was a long one. We got up early just to make sure we rode the new Cars Racer Ride in California Adventure since we missed out yesterday and didn't want to wait 2 hours. We planned the day where we would stand in line early and hope for the best. It worked! I stood in line at the Fast Pass distribution at 7:30am and Mark and Ashton stood in line to make sure he got to the Cars Ride. Our lines opened up at 8am. I got the tickets to come back later to hop in a fast lane and then I got them some breakfast and met up with them in their line. We were able to ride it two times yesterday! That was a great ride and well worth the efforts of the morning. (realized I just typed all that yesterday!)

We did get very tired by the afternoon and came back to the hotel to nap. It felt great! We were refreshed and ready for the next round. Went back to Disneyland in the evening for dinner and rode rides and got Ashton a light Saber. He choose Darth Vader (of course the bad guy. He seems to like the bad guys) and we had to get Ben one so they could fight each other. I know I will be borrowing Ben's while he is at school.

We wanted to see the fireworks, but both Mark and I aren't into the mad house crowds that were herded together to look up at the sky so we stepped into a empty quiet ice cream shop and enjoyed dessert while listening to the music and booms of the show. It was great!

Afterwards we kept shopping and riding rides. Ashton made me do Thunder mountain one more time. It was cool to see in the dark, but I was absolutely done after that one. Mark and him kept on riding because the lines were so short. Ashton had so much fun and is just like daddy! So many people seemed so impressed that a little guy would love these rides.

We left the park close to midnight. Wow! What fun! So glad we all napped!

Today is travel day. Coming home!

Loving Disneyland

Ashton is loving Disneyland! His favorite ride yesterday was splash mountain. He rode it about 6 times. I lost track. We tried to ride the new cars racer ride yesterday and it was sold out by 9am! Today we woke up super Early and mark and Ash got in line by 8am and I got in line for return tickets. Worked perfect. We get to ride two times today! It is awesome!
Ashton is already asking to go back to splash mountain though. ;)
Happy 4th of July!

First day

What a long day!

At first Star Tours was his favorite ride! He sure loves Star Wars! The lines were huge! What a wait!
Then he liked Thunder Mountain. And then Winnie the Pooh was great for him because there was NO lines! He got on and off so many times. ;)
We tried Splash Mountain and I was worried he wouldn't like the big drop, but he wanted to go again. He is definitely Marks kid!!

Heading home at 9:30. Park is still opened until midnight, but we are wiped out!

Back in The morning.....

At the airport excited for DisneyLand!

Fun June Days

Fun Bath time!

Wanting this cool hat for his birthday (but he wants everything!)

Wow- about as big as him!

The sun really brings out his red hair. 

Can you see our little Penguin?

First time all 5 of us went to a movie.  It was great!

Ashton and his T-Ball team

Our little Lefty!

Loving the zoo.

The zoo is even nicer when the sun comes out and our friends are here!

Found a nice trail to ride their bikes.
Had a great time at Trader Joe's.  It was his first time there.

After a long day of tournament games, Ben is tired and Ashton is using the force with his Jedi Light Saber.
Fun bowling with Daddy!

Fun at the bouncy house!
