Disneyland days

The second we walked in we were on cloud 9, from the music to the nice lady at the gate that called Eden princess... We love Disneyland.

My little prince.

We were running to get in a tea cup when I heard someone call my name. I looked up to see the Holdaway family in entirety. What are the odds!? It was awesome to see them and they snapped this picture of us.

The boy benson and his amazing happy face. Brent was such a great dad and husband, he packed a backpack full of snacks, water bottles, sunscreen and sunglasses. He was prepared and took great care of us!

Benson wanted to drive every car he saw!

I took a picture in this spot when I was 11!

The kids were not happy about the strollers we brought. "Strollers are for babies!", they said. 15 minutes in benson decided he'd have a seat... 3 hours in Eden finally realized that it was actually a really great idea.

Space mountain was my favorite ride as a kid and I hadn't been on it in years. Benson made it on the 40 inch ride requirement with an inch and a half to spare. As we were waiting in the loading bay to get on our "space ship", Eden kept asking, "mom, is this real?!". They upgraded the ride and as we went clicking up the track to begin I felt just like a little kid again. They redid the ride to be Star Wars themed and it felt like a new experience. We all loved it. When we got off we just looked at each other with wide eyes and said, "wow". Although this picture shows two completely indifferent children I can't help but die laughing at Eden and Benson's "thrilled" faces.

Eden picked a carousel horse with a pink sash, a bit of pink hair and jewels on her saddle. We named her Ruby.

We are just about to go on the tower of terror in this picture. Eden warned benson that it would be spooky. The falling part made Benson a bit nervous. He asked if our hotel was haunted later that night. We assured him it wasn't. Hopefully he's not permanently traumatized.

This was on Maters ride in cars land. Benson was so excited and Eden kept pointing out all the wheels and fun car themed things.

The happiest boy in the world.

Splash mountain was so fun but a bit to wet for a little Eden who felt nervous about sitting all the way in the front. Epic picture.

All of our first time going on Winnie the Pooh.

Thunder Mountain was by the kids favorite ride. Not only was it a choo choo train but it also went "unhundred" fast! Eden asked if I'd like to move into one of the saloon buildings at the end of the ride, cause how fun would that be!

Brent bought a big pack of glow sticks for the kids. This was the only day we stayed through the night and we were ready to glow! We went on star tours which they redid for the new Star Wars movie and it was awesome!
