These are kind of in random order, but...I tried!
Grant's favorite ride was Star Tours. He rode it at least three times, and once, he was even the rebel spy our ship was trying to hide from Darth Vader! He's on a HUGE Star Wars kick right now, so we were really excited to see Star Wars at Disneyland!
Mike made him ride every ride he was tall enough to go on. That was fun for a while...
Poor Grant! After a while when Grant didn't want to go on ANY rides anymore, and Remi broke down crying, asking to go to Disneyland, we had to regroup and decided that our kids may still be a little too young to be doing all the big rides!
We decided to hit up Toon Town and it finally started to feel like the happiest place on earth! :)

| Waiting at the wishing well to see Minnie |
Remi LOVED Minnie's house! She kept running from one thing to the next, excitedly showing it to us. I even caught her primping in Minnie's mirror. :)
We sat on Minnie's back porch for a good 15-20 mins waiting for Minnie to arrive. When Remi caught a glimpse of her, she announced to the whole house "THERE. SHE. IS!!!!!!!"
Sadly, she was a little more shy once she actually got to see her.
All the lines to meet the characters were pretty long. Minnie was the only one we decided to take the time to wait for. Grant happened to be in the right place at the right time and got to shake hands with Goofy.
Nothing says "strength" quite like a paci and blank!
One of the few rides Remi rode willingly without crying...
But the teacups were her FAVORITE! She rode them four times and they're all she'll talk about even still when you ask her about Disneyland.
We also got lucky enough to meet the princesses. There was a Frozen show going on that everyone went to, which left the princess line wide open! Grant was such a good sport to do all the "girly" things Remi wanted to do! He never got a chance to take a break in the stroller like the other two and walked the WHOLE time! He was good about doing whatever everyone else wanted to do and he never complained!
Our good friends the Kelepolos were there one of the same days as us. They saved us spots for the first parade and it was AWESOME! We love their family and we're so glad some of our Disneyland memories include them!
The second parade was just as awesome! You can't tell, but we're sitting in front of a trash can. It was the only little strip of space in the whole park where there was room to sit. We were tempted to just forget about it and go back to our hotel, but we're SO glad we didn't!
It's impossible to describe how awesome it was!! Even Sawyer was going nuts, bashing his little head around with the music and lights.
After the parade, we rode a few more rides and barely made it back to It's a Small World for the fireworks show which was also too amazing to describe! Remi was so excited because the finale was to "Let it Go" and it "snowed"!
It was a quick and exhausting trip! We got there Monday night and went to the beach (which only Grant liked), then spent the entire next day at Disneyland, then woke up early the next day to get home in time for a doctor's appointment for Sawyer. Grant and Remi were completely exhausted, but not this guy...
Story of our lives...
