Disneyland

Marc got a Disneyland Pass from my parents, for his Birthday, so we decided we needed to take advantage of it before Christmas break. We were excited when Grant and Bryn said they would join us for a day at Disneyland. It definitely made it more exciting for us to have them there.

Marc was able to go on some of the "big kid rides" with Grant, while Bryn and I took it easy and took the kids on some of the slower rides. We rode the Carousel about 5 times in a row, while waiting for the boys to go on California Screamin. Jackson and Claire couldn't have been more excited! They loved the Carousel as always.


Dumbo is another favorite of Jackson's. It kills me though how long the line is for this ride...what's the hold up. The ride doesn't last that long and yet the line is ALWAYS 45 minutes long or longer. I was glad that Marc was able to go on some of these rides with Jackson, since he hasn't ever been able to go to Disneyland with us, yet has heard so much about it. And it is s lot of fun to go on these rides with Jackson since he gets so excited about them.Jackson loves the Disney Characters and was extremely excited when he got to see Pluto and have his picture taken with him. He talked about this picture for the rest of the day. He couldn't believe that he had been able to give Pluto a hug and take a picture with him.Classic Ride for Jackson. He loves Cars and loves being able to drive these cars at Disneyland. Marc kept telling me it was my turn to go on a ride with Jackson, but I really wanted him to do all of the rides with Jackson since he never has. I especially wanted him to go on this ride because of how much Jackson loves it. Disneyland was all dressed up for Christmas and it was fun to see their HUGE christmas tree and watch the electric parade. It was definitely a successful trip to Disneyland, we were able to do everything we had on our list for the day. Thanks for Marc's Disneyland Pass, Mom and Dad. It is going to be so much fun to have him go with us more often in the future.
