Disneyland

It's been almost 2 months since our Disneyland trip and I have forgotten some things, but I hope the pictures tell it all.

Well, Disneyland was a blast.  Getting up at 4 on Monday morning wasn't too great.  But it made the trip fast.  We couldn't check into our hotel until 3 so we had about 4 hours to kill.  The weather was so nice compared to the weather we've been having here. The Hampton was very nice and the staff was great too.  We decided to hit up Disney bright and early and be there when it opened.  The kids were so excited.  We saw Goofy right off the bat and Trevor didn't know what to do with him.  I had to show him how to use the autograph book.  The picture will show how Trevor felt about seeing Goofy in real life.  As we were walking down Main Street all the cast members were the to greet us.  Trevor went and gave all them high fives.  There was one man (see picture) even got a hug.  We played for a few hours.  Toon Town was a hit and so was Dumbo.  Trevor could have gone on Dumbo 50 times if we would have let him.  I tried to take him on the carousel, but because Dumbo was right next door, he refused to.   Meeting Mickey was his dream come true.  He tried to butt in front of everyone else.  The moment he saw Mickey, he grabbed the autograph book out of my hand and made a beeline for him.  That was the whole reason we went and it was amazing to see it through his little eyes. We didn't get to do as much as we would have liked with the two kids, but we still had a blast.

That night we headed to Hooter's for dinner.  I was surprised that their wings weren't that great.  I was told because I got them too mild is the reason.  So the next time I go, I will definitely get a hotter version of the wings and hopefully it will be a better experience.  The strange part to me is the 4 waitresses we had.  Really 4 waitresses?

The next day the Lefevres went to Knottsberry Farm while we hit up California Adventure.  We all had so much fun.  We went on the Monster's Inc ride, which Trevor loved.  Also, we saw Sully, Woody, Cinderella, and Sorcerer Mickey.  We tried to make it to Playhouse Disney Live! but was unable to get there on time for each of the showings.  Trevor fell in love with A Bug's Land and we went on each of the rides like 4 times.  The lines weren't long and Scott and I had decided that this day was going to be all about Trevor.  We rode Toy Story Mania which was fun.  But the hour wait seemed like it would never end.  In the line there was a pile of poop...yes a pile of poop.  It was nasty and Scott went to tell someone about it.  I feel bad for the cast member that had to clean up that.  We did get him to go on the carousel there and he loved it.  We rode it twice and both times he had to have the "orange fish."  Unfortunately, we did not get to watch World of Color which we really wanted to see.

Overall we had an amazing vacation and it was enjoyed by all.  We had a great hotel and great friends that we went with.  We could even see the fireworks from our hotel room.  Yeah, we didn't get the music with it, but hey, Trevor didn't know the difference and he still loved it! Trevor loved spending the extra time with Sophee. Tyler was good for being the little 3 month old.  He didn't fuss too much had a great time on the rides that he we took him on.  There were a lot of rides in Disneyland that we were unable to get to that I would have loved to take Trevor on: The Haunted Mansion, lots of rides in Fantasyland, Storybook Canals, Alice in Wonderland.  I would love to take Trevor back and hit up those rides.
