M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E

We just got home from Disneyland!! It was a super fun trip, I actually had to be talked into going but that probably won't be the case next time.... yep next time! ;) We had such a great time! This is the first family vacation we have taken since moving to Flagstaff 5 years ago that hasn't been to Utah... We love going home and being with family but this was great too. We will still go to Utah this summer, we just have to leave Steve home to work... someone has to fund all our adventures... ;)!!

Here we are the first morning, all bright and happy!




Johnny was so excited to see Lightning Mcqueen! "Hey Lightning is that your best friend Mater?" -John

Our friends who we went with made Ky and John autograph books, they had fun meeting the characters and getting autographs and pictures.

Cute Kyla and Minnie. Notice the awesome 'mouse ear' hair bumps I gave Ky that day... :)




Kyla and I went on Splash Mountain together. She watched Steve go once and kept asking when she was going to get to fall off the waterfall too... I have to say the ride is a lot scarier (is that a word...) when you are a mommy riding with your 4 year old... I was holding Kyla tight!

So the pictures is not actually of Ky and I, Steve was looking for a mom in a green shirt in the back... well he got that part right, just not the right mom... :) He didn't realize that until we got home and were looking at the pictures!!

Johnny giving Buzz a "solid bump!" The Buzz ride was one of his favorites!




Kyla DRIVING?! Yikes! And I was nervous about kindergarten!

Johnny got to drive a RED car! Lucky Lucky! Today driving Ky to school he kept asking me which way he should turn the wheel...




Johnny let me take a picture of your driver's license...

Johnny and Kyla rode the Matterhorn... I remember riding it when I was 5, the abominable snowman scared me so bad I think I cried... We learned the trick to avoid being scared is to scare the abominable snowman first. This is Johnny practicing!

Alice in Wonderland in a PINK car...




Tea Cups, it was enough for me to watch the ride...



DIZZY!



Meeting Tinker Bell!



The boys were so happy to be meeting Tink... Luckily we only had to wait 5 minutes!!

Leo! He is so cute! This is the face he pulls when he knows he is being funny!



So glad we had good friends to go with!





"Hey Dad look, my shadow is holding your shadow's hand." -Johnny




Leo and Lilo... Leo gets called "Baby Lilo" sometimes... We'll stop before he figures out Lilo is a girl...




Waiting for the parade.

Kyla's favorite ride was the Jungle cruise. Boat, water, animal statues... Kyla is good! She wasn't too fond of anything inside and dark!

Mickey Mouse lollipop and a happy girl!




I made Steve watch High School Musical a couple months ago and now he thinks it is HILARIOUS to tease me about how much I love the movie, he couldn't pass up this photo op...

Steve went on some big kid rides, this one starts out really fast!!



The fam on the carousel.

On the Toy Story ride, another fave! Ky adopted our friend's Grandma...

I can't believe someone talked us into waiting 45 minutes to meet princesses... ok yes I can. We actually lucked out here too, Sleeping Beauty was one of the princesses there at the time, she is Kyla's favorite!!

She met Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Mulan, & Jasmin. The only one we didn't see that she wanted to was Ariel... next time :)


Johnny loved riding on the RED train! When the conductor would yell "all aboard" John would yell with him...



TIRED!


Welcome Home! Nothing like snow at home to get us back to reality... fast!



We also spent some time at the beach... I'll get those pics up next, I may have to finish unpacking first...
