Karlee liked the sand. And the Easter Bunny brought some awesome buckets with names on them!!

Ariel at Ariel's Grotto (Ashlee chose that Ariel dress as her souvenir from Disneyland). Ariel told her that they were twins!! She was so excited! 

With Cinderella

With Tiana

With Snow White

With Belle. Notice how Tyson is only in one picture with the princesses!! He might like Belle best.

The Tower of Terror!!! We all rode this ride at least once (except Karlee, she was too little).  Ashlee was a little freaked out and cried a little. 

Katelyn is trying to make Gideon happy in the back row. Tyson and Mal loved it!!

Front row this time and everyone enjoying it. I did ride this ride and then bought myself a "I survived the tower of terror" t-shirt because that is exactly how I felt, like I SURVIVED!!

The Aladdin Show at California Adventure was AMAZING!! Ask any of our kids what their favorite part was and they will most likely tell you this show. 

Aladdin

More of Aladdin

It's a Small World after all!!! Two cuties (my riding partners)

The cute and handsome crew behind us.

And the handsome crew in front of us.

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, was not nearly as wild as Gid is looking!

Cars ride was awesome!! This was a good one. 

Another Carsland ride. Tyson and Katelyn.

D, Gid, and Ash.

I think they won this race. I was 1-1 but didn't get to ride this time. Thank goodness for child swap passes. Karlee was too small to ride on almost everything but we would just get a child swap and then whoever stayed with Karlee got to go to the front of the line and take 2 kids to ride again.

Jedi Training. This guy came over and freaked Karlee out. It was pretty funny!!

California Screaming. This is the ONLY ride that I refused to ride. These four LOVED it and rode multiple times.

Gid looks a little happier in this one.

California Screaming in the background. And yes Katelyn is a little taller than me now!! Thank you kind lady (where ever you are) for snapping this picture for us. How did she get everyone to look???

Boo's door at Monsters Inc.

Bumper cars in A Bug's land

More bumper cars

This is what the little girls did to kill time when waiting  for the big kids. 

Karlee's typical picture face. She must be 3!!

He is sure good to her. 

We all practiced our faces for the picture!! I think mine is the most realistic!!

This was their first time riding, I guess my face wasn't the only one looking terrified.

Do you wanna build a snowman???

There is the tongue again and a photo bomber!! This is all there is of Frozen at Disneyland. Our younger kids were bummed that Ana, Elsa, and Olaf weren't there.

Karlee was tired!! How do you like the makeshift bed at the hotel?

We did A LOT of this!!! (walking)

And not nearly enough of this!!!

That is the trip in a nutshell!!! Or 87 pictures!!! We had a lot of fun but we are glad to be home in our own beds also!  We spent 8 days in California and it was great to be together as a family and enjoy the warm weather.
