This past week we went to Disneyland again. This time I didn't lose my pictures...it's a good thing because this was our paparazzi moment. We watched the Jedi Training at Disneyland right next to Agent Hotchner from Criminal Minds (one of our favorite shows). He was also Greg on Dharma and Greg. Why are people so obsessed with celebrities??? We definitely were:)
This freaky guy came up to Alyssa and kept staring at her until she would look at him. She did a pretty good job at pretending he wasn't standing next to her.
This is one of the few pictures that we took with characters. I am so sad that my girls are getting to the age that they don't want to chase down all the Disney princesses for their autographs:(
Poor Ashley is tall enough for most of the rides...but not all. The older girls and I went on California Screamin, while Rob fed the little kids slushies. Hunter always insists on eating with utensils...it is soooo messy!
Friday was scorching hot! We thought this was about as wet as you could possibly get on any ride at either park...later, we found out we were wrong.
The new Pixar parade at California Adventures is soooo cute! Hunter was so excited to see Lightning McQueen.
Later in the day Rob's parents and his sister and husband met up with us. This is Grandma Jeanne riding in the bumper cars with Ashley. These are the same ones that Alyssa got kicked off last time because she forgot that she had turned 7. This time we were smart enough to practice answering the question of, "How old are you?" She got it right this time:)
Aren't these two little "love birds" cute? I don't know how these two grown men ended up on the caterpillar train together...I don't know how they fit either:)
Rob's sister Brittany, Grandpa Bob, Hunter and Alyssa
Is there a weight limit on Splash Mountain? I think there should be! We almost sank a log! Rob sat in front, Ryan M. next, then Grandpa Bob, Grandma Jeanne, Brooklyn, Ashley and Me. We didn't just get wet on the big hill, we got wet on every tiny little hill on this ride. There was no line when we finished the first time, so the ride operator let us ride again. By the time we were finished, we were drenched and they had to take our log out of circulation because it was full of water. Rob even ruined his cell phone:(
Ashley-trying to pretend like she didn't have fun
This is how wet we all were. Hunter of course wasn't on the ride, he just wanted to be in the picture.
Rob & Hunter
After being at Disneyland for 13 1/2 hours with no nap, Hunter was exhausted. He fell asleep while sitting on Rob's shoulders. Cute!
Ashley fell asleep in the stroller. Too bad I got lost on the way back to the hotel with these two tired kids. Rob told me our room number which was 2225. Which floor would you have gotten off the elevator at??? Don't most hotels number their room with the first number the same as the floor number? That's what I thought. After I tried multiple times to get into room 2025 (thinking I had heard the number wrong from Rob), I finally decided to call the front desk from the phone in the hallway. They informed me that I was at the wrong room on the wrong floor. It was actually on floor #4. Duh!
We spent the first two nights of our vacation at the Disneyland Hotel. We had so much fun! It was so nice being able to just walk to the park instead of having to empty out our stroller and load everyone onto the people-mover from the parking garage. They have the neatest Peter Pan swimming pool with 2 water slides for the kids.
The kids with giant Mickey
On Saturday we moved on to a beach house that Rob's parents rented for the week. It was soooo nice and right on Newport Beach. The first night Jeanne had the kids make picture frames with seashells.
Do you see poor little Ashley's head falling off of the air mattress and lying on the wood floor? Every night the girls woke up to a deflated bed:( Rob and his dad tried everything to get that thing to stay inflated...no luck.
Jeanne bought all of the kids chef's hats and aprons so they could serve the adults dinner. My girls now have high aspirations of being "server girls".
What family reunion would be complete without taking family pictures? These are a few of them...
Once I figure out how to use Photoshop, I will lighten these pictures up.

I LOVE this picture!
Our only regret from this trip was having to come home 4 days earlier than everyone else because of school:( My kids do need a good education...right?:)

Way fun! I love the pictures on the beach and let me know when you figure out Photoshop. I've been trying for a year and can't do a darn thing with it. I think it's hilarious that you put a log out of comission and I love the picture after Splash Mountain where everyone's khakis are soaked. I'm glad you had a great time and we can't wait to see you all!
