Disney Trip - Day Four

On day four of our trip we headed back to California Adventure in the morning and Disneyland in the evening. Here are some photos of our day.
Levi and Austin (complete with cheesy grin).

The cute little man, he was up to 3 Buzz Lightyear pins that he traded. Actually, he only had one to trade, but both Levi and Allie traded one of theirs and gave them to Dallin, because he knew he would like the Buzz Lightyear pins. Sometimes the kids can be so sweet!

The younger ones with the bears from Brother Bear. The kids LOVED running around this fort/forest area.

Jordan and his aviator hat and goggles. He wanted to buy the googles last year, and he knew he was going to pick them up this year. He had to go with the hat to complete his nerd (oops, I mean aviator) look.

The whole family at California Adventure. Allie has the hardest time looking at the camera, she always looks to the left.

On our way out of Disneyland, we ran into Mickey Mouse. There is just something about seeing him that makes me smile.

One more photo on our way out. I love Disneyland at night time, it is so pretty with all the lights.

Disney Trip - Day Three

We are on day 3 of our Disney trip. When you are spending 4 days at the Disney parks, it is good to split them up, because too many days in a row at Disneyland can become overwhelming. Day 3 was one of our "off" days. We headed to Downtown Disney (that doesn't really sound like much of an "off" Disney day, does it?) We spend the morning looking at the stores, and then we went to Target (Mom's favorite), bought a new family game and headed back to the hotel. The rest of the afternoon we played games and went swimming in the pool.

Levi and Darth Vader at the Lego store.

Dallin and Daddy building stuff at the Lego Store.

Dallin remembered that last year his brothers and sister got their picture taken on the giant Lego, so he had to do it this year.

How do I explain this one? Jordan's new thing is to bring his Rubik's cube on vacation with us when ever we go somewhere, and then the cube gets it's picture taken in a million different places. Unfortunately, Jordan left HIS Rubik's cube at home, so he had to purchase a new one. Silly teenagers!

Speaking of silly teenagers. Here is Austin with his dinosaur pose.

Levi in his new hat (#2). The kid loves hats!

Allie with her new purchases, a Disney purse (Mom wants to borrow it, because she thinks it is too cute), a peace bracelet and a Mickey Lanyard.

Disney Trip - Day Two

On day two we headed to Disneyland, here are some picture from our day.

The entire family in front of Cinderella's castle. They have photo people at different places around the park. They take your photo with their camera hoping you will buy the photos. The great thing is they will also take a photo with your camera.

Last time we went to Disneyland, It's A Small World was closed for renovation. I made my entire family go on the ride since we missed it last time. Austin expressing his thoughts about the ride.

Jordan and the Yoda backpack he purchased. Can you say nerd?

Austin challenging the knight to a thumb war.

Austin wins!

Levi and Austin eating their GIANT turkey legs.

Dallin in his new mouse/bat ears.

Levi is a total "hat" kid. Here is one of the new hats he bought. He is looking forward to the next crazy hat day at school so he can wear it there too.

Allie getting Tinkerbell's signature. The whole family was waiting in line together. The boys were trying EVERYTHING to get out of waiting, when Dallin said "I have to go to the bathroom!" There were 4 boys (including Steve) who yelled "I'll take him!"

Disney Trip - Day One

I am going to share some photos from our trip to Disneyland. I will share a couple of each day over the next week.

Dallin is trading his Disney pin with one of the employees. She had a Buzz Lightyear pin! He was so happy to have a Buzz pin on his lanyard.

The boys enjoying one of the rides. The boys were so good going on all the rides Dallin and Allie wanted to go on.

Dallin is waving to his favorite character during the Pixar Play Parade at California Adventure.

The person Dallin was waving too.

Enjoying a Mickey Mouse "dilly bar" (that's what Dallin called it).

The whole family with Mickey Mouse.

The kids with the cars from Cars.
