a little detour

We were headed to Arizona for a baptism last weekend, but we decided to stop off at Disneyland first to use our free tickets we earned back in February. I'm so glad we did! There was hardly any lines on any ride. We waited 10 minutes at the most. It was amazing! Tyler's favorite ride of the day was Space Mountain. He had to ride it twice. Hayden hated Space Mountain, He said it made his cheeks fly backward. His favorite ride was a toss between Indiana Jones and Splash Mountain. Genevieve rode all kinds of rides that were a little scary for her. You know, even Snow White's ride is a little freaky for a 2 year old. However, the moment we got off the Pooh Bear ride she said, "That ride not scary!" She loved it! So, we jumped in it again.

I was so excited to finally have a little girl to take to see all the Disney Princess'. She LOVES all the princess, but her favorites are Tiana and Ariel. She loved the idea of me taking a picture of her with the princess' until it was finally her turn to go up and talk to Tiana. She freaked out! So, sadly there are no photos to share. She did get to see all the princess' from a distance though. That was enough for her this year.

Tyler brought along our autograph book. He made sure to get a few new ones in there. Genevieve and Hayden were in line to take pictures with Pooh, Tigger, and Eeyore too, but they both chickened out at the last second. So, my 9 year old had to go meet the babyish characters all by himself. Thankfully, he didn't seem to mind too much.

Finding Nemo....Genevieve's first Disneyland ride ever. She loved it!

-

-

Dad took her on a big boat around Tom Sawyer's Island while the boys and I rode Big Thunder. I think she loves her Daddy time.

I LOVE all the dizzy rides! Wayne, however, chose to stay off of this one.

My Hayden and his silly personality.

We got it going really fast and Genevieve wasn't lookin' so hot. Apparently I thought it was funny.

Hayden got a chance to drive a car in Autopia with me. He was a HORRIBLE driver. I was afraid we were going to jump the track several times as well as come home with all kinds of neck pains. He loved every minute of it though. Near the end of the road we let Genevieve have a turn driving. I figured she couldn't possibly be any worse than Hayd. Yeah, she was an amazing driver. Wayne and Tyler drove the car in front of us. Apparently Tyler shouldn't have a license any time soon either.

-

After all that Hayden took me for another ride in a space ship. We were going up and down a lot. I'm thinking his goal for the day was to make me sick.

We headed over to the parade. There were all kinds of characters coming up to Genevieve for a high five. She wanted nothing to do with any of them. But this gal came down to her level and chatted with Genevieve for a little bit. I loved that! But at the end of their chat Genevieve still wouldn't give her a high five. Little bugger!

-
Tyler and Hayden got to bang on a drum while the dancers danced. I think they liked being a part of the parade.

So, it looks like I never took any photos of my Wayne at Disneyland. Shoot. I guess we'll just have to go back.
