Disneyland

{October 18th - 22nd}

We made another trip to Disneyland!

This time we met most of Brian's family out there and took my mom again.

We did Disney for 2 days and then spent our third day on the beach just hanging out all day.

Mimi took Grayson home on Saturday so it was fun to just play with the big boys.

This time we stayed at the Fairfield Inn right across the street from the entrance to Disneyland.  It was awesome to just walk over.

We sent the babies back with Mimi the first night and tried to stay up later with Braxton and Ethan.  But after 9 hours of straight walking and all the excitement, they were totally wiped by 6 and we called it a night.  Mimi and Nana were awesome on night 2 and took all the boys back around 6 for a movie in the hotel and we had an awesome adult only night with Brian's sisters and their husbands.

Same as before... we are hooked!

We LOVE Disney!

And we'll be back in a few years when Grayson is 40" tall.

A quick swim at the hotel right after we checked on on Wed afternoon.

Headed over our first day!

 

Cars Land!

Still our very favorite part of both parks!!!

Everett's first ride and he loved it!  He was so excited when he got off.

I hate that he was like 1/2 an inch too short to ride Radiator Springs Racers and Soar'n.

I mean, look at those giggles!

Grayson's favorite... the carosaul!

all 4 littles down for a nap at the same time... miracle!

All 3 boys also loved the teacups

 

Braxton basically loved every single ride.

He loved Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, Guardians of the Galaxy (Tower of Terror)... anything thrilling!

He was so brave.

Day 2...

We hit up all the Star Wars stuff first thing and rode everything over there several times with no lines.

We signed Braxton and Ethan up for the Jedi Training performance.

So stink'n awesome.

They got to be Jedi's in training and battle against Darth Vadar and Kylo Ren.

Learning to use The Force

Besides Cars Land, and the Jedi Training, the Launch Bay was up there as a very favorite too.

We got to meet Darth Vadar, Kylo Ren and Chewey and they were amazing.

The characters were incredible and so realistic... real voices and never broke character.

Darth Vadar popped around the corner, looked at the boys and said "I feel the force is strong in someone" first thing.  These boys were so hooked!

He then proceed to try and lure Everett over to the Dark Side.  

Luckily he didn't take the bait.

This little buddy was kind of a handful since he refused to hang in the stroller more than like 10 minutes at a time.  Good thing he's cute!

The only character Everett really talked up meeting was Pluto. 

And he passed out right before we ran into him.

Here we are trying to wake him up when we got to the front, ha!

Mimi & Nana

Such a lifesaver having them on the trip!!

More rides with my little boyfriend while the big boys rode big rides.

Grayson loved meeting Buzz

Dying over the holding hands while waiting for Mickey

Day 3...

We dropped Mimi and Grayson off at the airport and headed to the beach.

All the boys loved it!

We weren't sure how Everett would do but he probably had the most fun in the sand.

The water was freezing and the waves were huge (giving this mama major anxiety...) but we still got to play some in the water nonetheless.
