"When you Wish upon a Star"

So day 2 included some beach time before we headed to LA.
Anders and Cole were really wanting to hang out at the beach!

One more time in the pool.  This was exciting because it
was shallow enough for Bobo to put his head in and "swim."
Next stop....the Disneyland Hyatt in LA
Our first evening Jen, Brent's sister and her boyfriend
came to visit and we all ate at the restaurant.


So he happens to be a sniper, Andrew had them pose.
We made it to Disney!


First stop....fire house

There is so much to delight the eyes.


Next stop....a snack, of course.  Dev and Bobo were each
able to choose one treat a day.
 
Walt Disney would ride this fire truck all through the
park each morning as he went to each land in Disney.

Favorite Picture!


 



The Dumbo ride was our first ride on our first Disney
trip.  I made Deveraux promise it would be the first
ride she would bring her own children on one day.







Tea Cups!




"Suit Up" for X-Man

Virtual suit in Fantasy Land

You can make the X-man dance!
Little X-man


Our X-man!



Disney dance
dancing to Mary Poppins


Lots of Lines!
Passing the time


Cole took me for a ride!





Toy Story action....so I beat Andrew on this ride last time,
so he was on a mission to get more points than me.
We are Finding Nemo!


"It's a Small World After All...."
Aloha!
Check out that statue on top of the car!
"Toon Town!"

So at every theme park, you have your highs and lows.
We are feeling a bit tired of the lines but we
really want to see Minnie Mouse.  So we wait!

and wait....



Finally!

 
 


Hi Mickey!


When one is hot in Disney, simply find the nearest
fountain and stick your entire head in it.  You will cool off instantly!


Parade time. We loved this parade so much,
we saw it again on our next Disney day.




 
So Dev was doing this.....
and the parade guy did this back to her.....





Captain Hook got Bobo's attention.


"Step in Time"




He learned how to wink!
Very exciting....in Disney!


Tarzan's tree house
Space Mountain
Yes, our children rode Space Mountain!!
It was so fun, although I don't know that Bobo saw over the
 top of his car.  Bobo wondered if it as a roller coaster and said, "were we up
 in the air??"   It was Deveraux's favorite.  It was so fun!

There we are!
It was so funny.  Drew could not unlatch
his seat belt and no one noticed, so he went again!
"Bring it!"
Fireworks were getting ready to begin, so we headed over
to the Disney area to watch.
Well, everyone I think in the state of CA was already
in place for fire works.  There are designated areas to
stand and you have to keep moving if you are on the path.
We couldn't find a good location so we just kept moving
until we were out of the way.
This is our crew after 12 hours in Disneyland.
Deveraux really wanted to see the fire works up close.
I grabbed her, told Drew I would meet him back in that
spot and she and I took off with her on my back.  We ended
up right in front of the castle for the finale.  It was
definitely a high light for me and my girl.
We came back to our crew as we weaved in and out of the crowds.
Bobo had fallen asleep so we headed to the shuttle.
Brent and Drew dropped us off and went back in for more fun!
