Adventure #4: Disneyland

We headed to Disneyland on Day 4 of Spring Break. Mark and Madelyn participated in Disney's "Give a Day, Get a Day" program. They packaged 2,000 lbs. of cauliflower for the local food bank. We were super proud of Madelyn's effort. Her ticket (and Mark's too) was well-earned.

Silly boys playing in hats.
We hopped in the "Monkey" car on the Casey Jr. train ride.
The merry-go-round is a family favorite. Madelyn always wants to ride an outside horse.
Catherine and Chloe were pleased to find horses next to each other.
Daddy really gets the girls spinning on the tea cups.
We all loved the boat ride through Storybook Village. The boys were too anxious about going into the whale's mouth to smile for the picture.
Daddy gave the kids turns riding on his shoulders. Seth is always somewhat sloth-like when on Daddy's shoulders.
The girls waiting to ride the roller coaster in Toontown.
Waiting for the parade. We got front row seats for the 6:30 p.m. parade. Madelyn got to dance with Woody and all the kids took off in the congo line.
We had a great day at Disneyland! It was enough to want to go back some day but not too much that we had to deal with tantrums. Ahh, balance and harmony!

I am so torn about Disneyland: I want to go, but I don't want to go with ALL of my kids. You need to give me ideas/tips. Did you try California (or whatever the other side of Disneyland is called)?

So sorry we missed you guys - we would've loved to have joined you at Disney and California Adventure (did you get to see both parks or just Disneyland?) Our boys are huge Pixar fans and LOVE all the Pixar rides! Glad your trip got better after your initial craziness!
