We had our first family vacation ever and we went to the happiest place on earth, Disneyland! We have been so excited for this trip! From Hayden and Brynlee's first time flying to the first time meeting Mickey and Minnie! What made it even more exciting is that we were able to go with my Mom and Dad and Brother and Sister Law. Shaun has never flown before or been to the beach. So this was a real treat to be able to share this experience with him. We also had our friends be able to join us, Nikki and Jeremiah. She had never flown or been to the beach either. So exciting!!
We all had an amazing trip. Weather was perfect, churros were yummy, and we walked and walked until we couldn't walk any more! Sounds like the perfect trip to me!!
....And We're off! First time ever as a family on an airplane! The kids did great and had fun!
I thought I would share our most favorite part of Disneyland.
Mommy's favorite most memorable part of the entire trip were two things-
Hayden got picked to participate in Jedi Training and he got to battle with Darth Vader. It was only Hayden and I that decided to go and watch Jedi training. Not sure what everyone else went to do. Nate was on the sidelines with Brynlee and the camera. We had no idea he was gonna be picked but he did and he was not one but shy to go right up there. I think I was more excited than he was. The excitement I felt for him thinking about how he must have been feeling was truly the best feeling ever! I had this huge giddy grin on my face the entire time!!
My other favorite part was seeing how excited Brynlee got when we rode It's a Small World! Her eyes lit up and she was so happy! The singing and dancing dolls were her favorite! She danced and pointed the entire ride. Priceless!!
Daddy's favorite part of our vacation was seeing Brynlee so happy watching the dolls dancing and singing in It's a Small World and riding on Grizzly River Run in California Adventure with Hayden. Hayden wasn't too sure about going on the ride and was pretty scared until we came to the bottom of the big hill. He was smiling ear to ear and wanted to go again. I loved seeing my monsters so happy!!
Hayden's favorite- Star Tours and Jedi Training! Of Course! He is obsessed with Star Wars! When I asked him what his favorite part of our vacation was he also said shopping in the Star Wars store and buying toys. I do have to say it was fun! We went on this vacation with no limits on the spending so whatever Hayden wanted Hayden bought. Strangely enough, he didn't spend all that much. I think the Star Wars store was so big it was over whelming to him. He would have spent hours in there if I would have let him.
Brynlee's favorite was It's a Small World and Mickey's Soundsational Parade. It was so amazing to watch Brynlee as her eyes lit up as she was watching the people and characters come down main street dancing and singing!
Our first time on "It's a Small World"
Looking in awe at the bright lights and and dancing charcters as they go down Disney Main Street.
Hayden and Brynlee most likely won't remember our first family vacation to Disneyland but I know Mommy and Daddy will cherish the memories forever.
Sleeping Beauty Bryn! Had to take naps on the go! We weren't gonna miss a thing!
