Disneyland!

We just got back from a very fun four-day trip to Disneyland.  The Bells joined us for two of the days.

We got to fly, but getting there was rough. Jane cried and wiggled the entire time.  It's so hard keeping babies entertained on airplanes.

Disneyland was all decked-out for Halloween but a few of our favorite rides (the Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain were still closed to get Halloween-ified).  We had such a great time, though, and the park wasn't too crowded.

 Me and Jane with Pooh while the others were on a ride.  The baby swap thing is great!

 She really loved Tigger.

 Blake and Natalie on the carousel.

 Me with Jane and Blake about to ride the caterpillar ride in Bug Land.

 A major highlight for Blake...visiting Lightning McQueen in Cars Land.


 This is how we went home every night...most kids fast asleep.  Luckily our hotel was only about a mile away.
 Three kids sneaking in an afternoon nap.  Little cousin Brandon was over in the other stroller.  Vacationing can be exhausting!

 Natalie got to see her cousin Kjerstin.  They dressed up as princesses for a day.  So cute.

 More tired kids. This was at 9:00 am, though. 

 The herd making a bee line for Cars Land at opening.  It's always a competition to see who can be at the front of the line and get there first.

Jane and cousin Brandon while waiting for the others to ride on the new Cars ride.

 Blake fell asleep like this while we were waiting to get into the Tiki Room.  Funny kid.

 A last-minute pic with Grandpa and Grandma Bell before they headed home.

 Chillin' waiting for the park to open.

 We had one "Magic Morning" where we got to get in at 8 am, where most people wouldn't get in until 9.  It was so fun hitting all the rides before the crowds came.  We were at the front of the line, too, and we made a run for Peter Pan.

 Me and my baby Jane waiting for opening.

 Jane and Daddy.

 Our last day there, we spent doing only what the kids wanted to do.  Natalie wanted to see Disney characters and get signatures in her autograph book and Blake wanted to go on Peter Pan, so that's what we did.

 The kids with Goofy.

 Natalie and Jane with Mickey.  Blake wasn't interested.

 Natalie and me with Minnie.

 The kids with Pluto.


 A quick pose with Donald.

 Natalie got to see Tigger...

 ...and Pooh.

 And I took the girls to see Mater in Cars Land while Rob and Blake rode one of the rides there.

How fun! I love how Blake can fall asleep pretty much anywhere.
