DISNEYLAND!!!!

We made a visit to the happiest place on earth recently and were not disappointed. We had the three day park hopper pass, so we also got Magic Morning where we got to get in early one of the days and play without crowds! The Bells are Disneyland fiends, and I love it! We rushed from ride to ride and made the absolute most of our three days there. Each night we went back to our hotel and basically passed out as we hit the bed.

Grandpa and Grandma Bell treated us to lunch at Ariel's Grotto where Natalie got to meet lots of princesses. She and her cousin Kjerstin were in HEAVEN.

My brave little girl went on the Tower of Terror SIX times! The first time she went with Rob and after they got off, he asked her "Was that scary?" She looked like she was about to cry and nodded her head. Then she said "I want to do it again!" So we all went together and I was screaming my head off and Natalie was giving me this look like "what mom?" She has her daddy's urge for the adrenaline rush.

Blake loved all the rides that make most of us want to puke. His favorites were the spinny rockets and the carousel. I'm sure he would have loved the tea cups, but we didn't even want to get him started on those.

Disneyland's child swap is awesome. We probably would not go if it were not for that. One adult would wait with Blake and then get a child swap pass and when everyone else got off the ride, that person got to go to the front of the line with the pass. Cool.

My favorite was the new Toy Story ride. Tons of fun, but it was the longest line there. We were sad to see that some of our favorites (Screamin', Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion, and Space Mountain) were closed, but we still weren't lacking for fun things to do.

It's the perfect time of year to go to Disneyland. We pretty much walked onto every ride there. It was amazing.

Our 13 hour drive each way was so worth it! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Bell for so many fun memories! We love Disneyland!
