Disneyland Day 1

We are finally here. More than a year ago, my mom and dad gave all of my family a challenge to read the Book of Mormon together and another book called the Culpri and the Cure. We all accepted the Challenge and because we finished it before the end of 2009 they said they would take us all to Disneyland. We have been so excited to go and to take the kids for their first time. Monday was our first day and we spent the whole day in the disneyland park. It was so much fun!!! Ever since he was young and lived in California, Dallas and his family would go to Disneyland and the first thing they would do was go get Mickey cakes for breakfast. We have been keeping that tradition and we were not about to stop on Brody and Baylee's first time there. Here are the kids with their first official Mickey cakes.

Brody loves the Tarzan movie so of course we had to take him into Tarzan's Treehouse. He thought it was pretty cool but didn't want to hear the Jaguar roaring so he had to cover his ears.

Brody had to try on some Pirate Goofy ears.

Also in the tradition of Dallas' family, we always ride the Pirates ride first. After that we can do whatever we want, We just have to have pancakes and ride pirates first.

We went on the Jungle Cruise while some of the big kids went on the Indiana Jones Ride. These kids and their funny faces, one day I will get a real smile out of them on camera.

We have been listening to music from the Tiki Room everyday for a month, the kids love singing along so of course we had to take them to the real thing. We got pineapple ice cream and went in for the show. The kids loved it, except for the storm.

We had to go see Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, and Eeyore.

We stopped for some lunch and Brody was so tired that he was falling asleep while he was eating

Brody and Dallas went on Splash Mountain, Baylee was just a little to small for it and since I am pregnant I couldn't ride either. I was a little sad because this is one of my favorite rides but I knew I would have to skip a few things to keep the baby safe so I will just have to wait til next time. You can't see them but this is the boat they were on, Brody loved it!!

We were on our way with the whole group to see the Captein EO show, when we saw Buzz Lightyear. He is Brody's favorite so we told everyone else to go ahead and we would stay here so he could get an autograph and picture with Buzz.

Here is Brody and Baylee climbing all over the rocks waiting for the Nemo submarine ride.

My pics got a little out of order but here are the kids dancing in the Street party parade, They had so much fun being included in it. They got to go out twice and dance with all the dancers.We got a fun surprise part way through our first day in Disneyland. Grandpa Jon and uncle Ethan, Dallas' dad and brother came to Disneyland too. We thought they were in Florida going to Disneyworld and then all of the sudden we saw them waiting for us. They stayed with us for the resat of the day and we all had a lot of fun. We were definately not expecting them.

Grandpa Jon got Baylee a princess wand and Brody a Pirate Gun. They both love their prizes.

At the end of the day we went down and had dinner at the ESPN zone. One of Dallas' favorite places to eat while in California. The whole day was a lot of fun.
