Disneyland

We spent New Years Day at Disneyland with my family. We had two whole days at the park, and it was pretty darn fun, considering that 6 of the 7 kids were 2 and under! We rode lots of rides for the little guys, and a few for the adults, too. Amelia's favorite was Soarin' Over California and Colin's favorites were Small World and Autopia (or course!). They both agreed that Pirates of the Caribbean was too scary, and they both cried on the ride. Here are some shots from our adventure.

Amelia and Molly killing time while some parents ride Splash Mountain. Similar scenes played out in front of Space Mountain and the Haunted Mansion.
All the kids got a special Disney treat while in line for Small World. I enjoyed spending the time in line more than the ride (not my fave).
No, Jack was not permitted to eat this. Mike likes to torment infants and small children!

Jack was awesome during the trip. Even the cold tram ride back to the car at the end of the day couldn't dampen his spirits!
Amelia was thrilled to meet the Fairy Godmother!Colin was out of his mind when we saw Lightning McQueen. He didn't even stop running long enough to smile for a photo.
Colin, after having too much fun on the first day.
Colin's souvenir was this killer Lightning hat. He was pretty exhausted and kind of delirious after the second day, but he wouldn't stop "racing," even when we got to the hotel.
Overall, a fantastic trip. Thanks, Mom and Dad!

How fun! Those are the best trips. I LOVE Colin's hat. MJ is crazy for Lighting McQueen too. We've probably watched it 75 times.

Cute pictures!
