Disneyland

My girlfriends and i decided on a whim to take our oldest child to Disneyland. 

And it was a BLAST!

The weather was fabulous, lines were short, and the company was great!

Cohen was a sweetheart the whole time.  He rarely whined and was so fun and was so brave!

The boys were really good on the plane and before getting off, i asked the pilot if the boys could get a picture with him and he let them sit in the cockpit. 

In the taxi on our way to the 

Happiest Place on Earth!!

We arrived at the hotel and quickly changed them into their red Mickey shirts and then we were off to the park.  

They loved the tea-cups and wanted to spin really fast.  Too bad they weren't really strong enough to do so. he he.

The Winnie the Pooh ride was a hit. Not sure why they loved it so much??

Cohen still loves all the characters and its a good thing the other boys did too, cause he wanted a picture with them ALL.

I had to kinda talk Cohen into going on Splash Mountain. He ended up loving it and we went on it as much as we could. 

Nixon is so brave and he loves all the big rides. I love his face here.

This was the last ride we did on the last day and Cash did not want his mom to hold on to him down the big hill. So funny, what a great pic.

We bought the boys matching shirts and on the 2nd day they wore their Buzz Light Year shirts for California Adventure.

To get all the boys to look at the camera and smile at the same time was...well, not gonna happen.

The favorite ride (i would say)....Toy Story Mania.

Seeing Woody was a hit!!

Cohen also for some reason really likes the Merry-go-rounds.??

Another ride they loved was Soaring Over California.

Cash was just barely tall enough to make the rides.  He mom was smart and she bought him nike shocks before the trip and put an extra sock in his shoes. Genius. 

Ash and Katie weren't feeling the lady bug ride so i opted to ride it with the boys.

Waiting to see Chip and Dale.

Arent they cute??

Okay, so here is kind of a funny story.  We were standing in line for Tower of Terror, and it was past nap time and the boys you could tell were getting a little tired. Katie had already gotten Nixon to sleep in his stroller.  Cohen started to get nervous about the ride and i told him it had thunder and lighting sounds and dropped really fast, but that it was really fun.  I made a promise to him on the first day that i would not take him on any scary rides.  I was pushing it with this ride.  He decide he didn't want to go and was a little whiny (tired). We got out of line and katie and ash decided to go instead. I had Nix asleep in one stroller and Cash and Cohen were hanging out in the other. Cohen then decides he needs to potty really bad and then Cash needed to go to. Seriously?  They so couldn't wait and needed to go right now. I try and push both strollers and its taking fore.v.e.r. Luckily a nice man heading the same way as us see's how ridiculous i look and asks if he could help me. Of course i take the helping hand.  We get to the potty and the boys release themselves.  I then talk cohen into pushing cash, so i can push nix.

On our way back we see FroZo from Incredibles.

Of course the boys want a pic.

We get our pic and even stroll nix up, who is still sound asleep, but i didnt want him to miss out on the pic:)

We finally made it back to the ride just before katie and ash got off. A quick trip to the bathroom was more like a 30min ordeal, but we got to frozo so i guess it was worth it.

The Pixar Parade at California Adventure is always a hit and the boys loved it.  This soldier came right up to their face. They were singing and dancing and have a great time.

The next day we got the boys faces painted. Cohen chose a dragon.

Nixon a snake and Cash a Pirate.

Nixon loved the Matterhorn. He called it the Monster ride (because of the snowman in it)

Cohen soon fell in love with it too. He too would not call it the Matterhorn, it was either the Monster ride, or snow mountain. We went on this like 5 times.

Not only did we get the boys matching shirts, we got us girls one as well.

They were so excited to see Donald Duck.  He is a hard character to find cause he's so grumpy.

Katie was dying for a turkey leg, so we had to get one.  They are so good and are gi.nor.mous.

The corn dogs are always yummy too.

Cash finally zonked out. What a cute sleeping pirate.

We had to get a picture with Mickey, esp with our super cute matching shirts on.

Every time we stopped to get a churro or an ice cream, Cohen always chose the fruit bar. We only had like 2 churros the whole time. That was a first. My little 4 yr old is  more healthy then me.

Pirates of the Caribbean was also one of the favorites. i found this darling shirt for cohen at the Gap. I had to get a picture of him on the ride wearing it. Yes, i am nerdy mom.

We got on the ride and i tried to take a picture of us......

The ride starting going and cohen was getting mad at me cause he thought i was going to drop the camera in the water.......

And here we are going down the hill.......

Oh we had a great time.  It was so much fun to spend alone time with just cohen. The boys got along so well. I think we will have to make this a yearly trip :)

Getting all packed and ready to leave.

Nix and Katie were out before the plane even took off.

Cohen wanted to take pictures of us on the plane and then with a funny faces.

   Love this kid.
