Disneyland 2017





When Disney laid Tim off the thing that made us the most sad was that we could no longer get into Disneyland for free.  We had some tickets left that we had been saving and they had to be used before the year was out so we planned a trip to Disney for the first week in May.  It was the first time we went to Disneyland with just our family and we missed my sister Rachel and her family but we loved having so much family time.  It was a blast!  






It was the first time that the kids had flown in an airplane.  They were nervous but they were troopers. Due to some crazy turbulence on our way home poor Luke lost his lunch and that was sad but that was the only bad thing of the trip!  Claire insisted she sit with her dad and I got the two cute boys.  





On our first day we headed to the beach.  Huntington beach is so beautiful.  The kids were unfazed by the less than hot temps and we became obsessed with finding shells.  



Tim and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary while we were there and getting a picture was a bit of chore but this one turned out really well!  This is the third time we have spent our anniversary in Disneyland with the kids.  We've got to do something else next time!  



A picture of one of the kids playing in this fountain is iconic in our family.  Every time we go someone does this!  


This is the first time that we have seen the light parade.  It did not disappoint.  So cute and fun!  






This time we took the time to do some things we haven't done before.  Like the main street horse drawn trolley, the playground in California Adventure, the River Boat and the Lincoln theater.


It's nice to go to Disney when all the kids are big enough and brave enough to ride all the rides.


Except California Screamin.  Claire and Luke didn't want to try that one so we did the carousel instead.



Luke's favorite ride is Bear River Rapids.  I got soooo wet!


Gage is obsessed with Splash Mountain and asks to ride it incessantly.   


That awkward moment when Claire left me hanging.....


That other awkward moment when I couldn't see anything through my hair....



My all time favorite is Peter Pan.  My family is so nice to indulge me because the line is always super long.

*Not pictured is Tim's favorite which is Space Mountain. (Hard to take a picture in the darkness!)  And Claire Bear fell in love with Big Thunder Mountain.  



When you have Celiac Disease this counts as a meal.  Tortilla chips, lunch meat, apples, cheese sticks, and juice. The kids thought it was so fun to have a picnic in our room the last night we were there.  I sure love this crew.



Sarge stayed with Tim's parents, who he loves, but he gets pretty upset when we leave.  This is a picture on our ride home from picking him up and is it just me or does the look on Sarge's face say, "If you leave me again I will cut you"?
