Our Trip to Disneyland

Several months ago we decided that we wanted to take the boys on vacation. They are a great age for doing something fun without all the extra paraponilia that comes along with babies and small kids. However there was only one problem, there was a baby due in July. We wouldn't be able to travel at all this summer. So, we booked a cruise early May. We love cruises and thought we could be the most bang for out buck by vacationing this way. Once we paid for the cruise we decided to invite any and all to come with us. My parents we in, Wes' parents were in, Wes' brother's and their wives were in. Then the bad news came, I wasn't allowed to cruise. I was too far along and the cruise lines policies wouldn't allow me to go. So now we were out. After a lot of though and consideration we decided to do the next best thing, DISNEYLAND!!!

Have to admit, I got a little teary eyed when I saw this guy, but let's blame it on pregnancy hormones.
At disneyland they have Jedi training. They pick out kids from the audience to come up and learn to use a light saber. Then they face off with Darth Vadar and Darth Maul. Logan got picked and loved his battle with the bad guys. Here he is with his hood getting ready to receive his light saber.

Ben loves Darth Vader, that's who he was for Halloween. This is at the lego store in down town Disney.

One day we took the boys shopping. Logan had been saving his money for months to take to Disneyland and buy something great. He picked out two lego sets from the disney store (suprise, suprise). We saw millions of toys but Ben wanted only one things, Mickey ears.

Swimming in the pool at our Hotel, Logan showing off his sweet bod.

Posing with the boy cousins. So glad that we had them come with us, they were all so cute. Not one of these kids made a fuss when we didn't have time to stop and say hello to the princesses.

Outside of "It's a small world" ride, which I thought was a little creepy, but fun.

Ben and I on the rocket, while the big kids were on Space Mountain.

The whole crew in the front of Disneyland. Believe it or not, it was actually pretty chilly that day. We were glad we brought some pants and jackets.

It was such a fun vacation. Our camera battery died before we had a chance to take pictures of the rest of our trip. We also visited the San Diego Zoo, which was beautfiul but hilly and steep. Not fun when you are nearly 8 months pregnant or hauling a stroller full of boys. We also took the boys horse back riding which they absolutely loved. Logan said, "Mom, I want to be a cowboy when I grow up." Everyone should go to disneyland it was a blast and we hope that someday we can go again. I enjoyed it every bit as much as the little boys. We had a great time!
