Disneyland 2012


We just got back from one of the best trips we have ever taken with our family. Dave and I surprised the kids with a trip to Disneyland. We planned it very last minute, about a week ago. I packed for all of us on Sunday and we loaded up the car Sunday night. The kids had no idea anything was going on. When the woke of Monday morning we fed them a quick breakfast and loaded them up in the car. We told them we were going on a drive. Believe it or not they didn't ask "where are we going?" About an hour later Gracyn asked "where are we going?" We responded with some very generic answer. Another hour or so later the kids asked "where are we?" We told them we were in the middle of nowhere, which we were. Again, they were happy with the answer. Finally Dave and I asked them if they wanted to play a game, "guess where we are going?" but they didn't want to. They wanted to keep watching their movie. Finally 5 HOURS into our drive they wanted to play the game. Finally, they guessed it! They were so excited and we only had one hour left to drive. Once we arrived at the hotel we took the kids to the The Rainforest Cafe. Gracyn loved it but Michael was a little scared of the Gorillas! We spend all day Tuesday and Wednesday at Disneyland and California Adventure. The kids were amazing and loved every minute of it! We did't have a single meltdown out of anyone! Michael loved seeing the characters and the Jungle Cruise. Gracyn rode her first real roller coster too! It was 80 while we were there so Thursday we took the kids to a character breakfast and then swimming at the hotel pool. We took the kids to pick out there souvenir and then headed on our 6 hour trip back home!!!!
