Disneyland 2011

This we we ventured to Disneyland with the Skiby's. Unfortunately, despite my hours and hours of research, I ended up booking us at a horribly busy time which added a little stress for me. The older I get the more I hate crowds and I really wanted everyone to have a good time. I think the crowds bothered me more than anyone else. That being said, we came up with a pretty good system and were successful at getting in plenty of rides during our trip.

I realized it was just as cheap to take a limo as it was to get two cabs. The boys thought this was the coolest thing ever. I think they were as excited about this part of the vacation as they were for Disneyland.

Cheers!!!

Cole's very favorite part.....candy. When I booked the trip, I told the driver that we had little kids and he said that he always carried candy with him. This is the moment Cole talked about for weeks prior.

Yeah! We are here.

So happy. Cole was so disappointed when his brother was picked to do the Jedi Training Academy in a previous trip, so we went all out, broke out the Padawon costume (why should the girls have all the fun?) and it worked. He was chosen to train.

Cole and Papa

Mmmm....Turkey Legs. Seriously, this thing did not stand a chance against this hungry kid.


Sharing the stroller. I think this is the last year we can justify getting a stroller :(


Cole and Nolan getting ready for the Tower of Terror. He did it. He cried after it was over, but he did it. He would not do it a second time though. He and Papa Norm caused some trouble trying to break of the line through the emergency exit but escaped to the outdoors for ice cream instead. I think that they were both happier with that.


Staring Contest. It was a favorite activity for killing time in the lines.

We went Whale Watching again, and again we did not see any whales but we did see several hundred dolphin. It was pretty awesome.
