Spring break in California!


For spring break we completely SURPRISED the kids with a trip to California...more specifically...Disneyland!

We picked up the kids from school, they thought we were going to Las Vegas, and just kept on driving! I have a great video that captures their response when we told them we were going to Disneyland - but I can't get it to load on blogger :(

Of all the many trips our family has been on, this is one for the books!  It was pretty much as good as it gets - because this time we could ride the big rides all together, the 6 of us!
Quin was tall and brave enough. So fun and priceless! 
And, I'm happy to say that the kids are still pleasant and happy to be with each other. Mostly ;)


We spent 3 days split between Disney and California Adventures.  The only characters that Quincy really cared to meet was Elsa and Ana from "Frozen," so we didn't have to spend a lot of time chasing characters and waiting in big lines.  

The big frenzy this year was the new "Cars Radiator Springs" ride. And rightly so - that ride is absolutely fantastic! We were all laughing so hard the first time we rode, not knowing that it entailed a car race!  Luckily we are Disney pros by now so we didn't wait long for even that ride. 



I have a ton of pictures from this trip but I will just post some of my favorite moments:

Madd Tea Party


The Matterhorn
Elsa and Ana
Jungle Cruise

One time was enough for Quinny
Meeting Minnie
Space Mountain
Dumbo
Big Thunder Mountain
Toy Story 2
Splash Mountain

Tom Sawyer Island. Not a favorite but right in front of Pirates of the Carribean - which we love. And this trip we actually had time to go to the island
Just cute
Q trying to decide between the many, many stuffed animals. Settled on a baby Pluto
And of course the famous Mickey picture
And I can't leave out these action ride shots. 
Anybody see a pattern in these pics? 





Oh, Dad!
