Our trip to the HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH!!!

We didn't tell the boys where we were going... so when they finally figured it out, they were SUPER excited!  

Here we are waiting for the tram!

We have never been to Disneyland during this time of year, so it was way fun to see it all decorated up for Halloween!  We loved all the pumpkin characters throughout the park! 
Here are the boys with Mickey and Minnie!  The first people we saw after entering the park!!!
I can't even begin to tell you how ecstatic the boys were when they saw the haunted mansion!  It was all decorated up with characters from The Nightmare Before Christmas... which just so happens to be one of their favorite movies!  This was definitely one of the rides we went on the most! 

We went on Pirates of The Carribean a few times as well and were lucky enough to catch a picture with Captain Jack Sparrow after one of our pirate adventures!

The boys (and Joss... even though you can't see her) enjoyed the carousel!

Joss was tuckered out and enjoyed a little snooze while the boys and Dad went on the Dumbo ride!

Here are the boys in front of Sleeping Beauties Castle taking a sucker break!

Fletcher was the only one of our kids that liked Churros!  He didn't want any of it to go to waste so he even started licking the cinnamon that fell off, off of the ground!  YUCK!!!

The end of day 1!  We were definitely ready to head home for some rest!

Friday (our 2nd day there) was Fletcher's 3rd Birthday! We tried to make it extra special for him... and he got a few extra fun goodies!

(HAPPY BIRTHDAY FLETCHER!!!)

On day 2 we made it to one of the Jedi Training Academy shows!  Unfortunately none of the boys got picked to participate, but how AWESOME was it to see Darth Vader and Darth Maul!  It was great!

None of us have ever been to California Adventures, so that was great fun!  We didn't get many pictures here, but we enjoyed it!  Some of the favorites were the river rafting ride, A Bugs Life Show, and...

These CRAZY kids enjoyed the Tower of Terror! (From what I hear... Trev was more scared than anyone else!)

By the end of the second day there were so many people at Disneyland because California Adventures closed early for the Trick or Treat Party, that you could barely make it through the crowds!  We watched the parade and fireworks, went on a few last rides, then called it a day!

I believe that Disneyland REALLY is the happiest place on earth!  (Where else would you leave a stroller filled with your personal belongings for any length of time?) We had so much fun and can't wait to go back!

I'm so jealous that you all went to Disneyland!!
Glad it was so fun!!!
I love all the pumpkin characters at this time of year too!
And by the way, when we went last year we were with some friends and thier stroller got stollen while we were riding Pirates of the Carrabean! It sucked! They bought a nice sit-n-stand just for the trip and someone walked off with it.
