Disneyland 2016!

On Easter we surprised the kids with a trip to Disneyland!  They really did even "get it" until we arrived in California.  We took a late flight and we were all exhausted and slap happy when we arrived in California.  I think it was maybe midnight our time?  The wheelchair guy who was called to transport mom took pity on us and got one of those golf cart type things.  He was a riot.  He audibly beeped at people as we approached them.  By the time we left him, the kids were also beeping as we approached people!

We stayed at a hotel near the airport that night since it was so late.  Lilah was done.

The kids were super excited to arrive at our Disney hotel the next morning.  The Paradise Pier Hotel was awesome! 

We did Downtown Disney the first day and met up with my dear friend Patty who had never even met Lilah! 

The next three days we hit the parks hard.  We did Carsland which was completely unbelievable!  It was the Year of the Force at Disneyland so Brian was in Star Wars heaven!  Lilah got to get a make over at the Bippity Boppity Boutique!  We even got to see the light parade and Lilah rode Hyper Space Mountain twice!!   It was completely exhausting but the kids LOVED it and are already asking when we are going back.  I really prefer Disneyland to Disney World because it's smaller and a bit more manageable.  However, as west coast trip was hard on all of us, so I don't see it happening again soon!

She was dancing :)

On our way out of town we stopped by a pier and saw the bay.  Mom really wanted to see the Pacific.  It was a bit of a letdown, but as it turns out we flew wayyy out over the Pacific on our flight back home, so we saw it after all!
