Disneyland and California Adventure

The kids all loved Disneyland, as we suspected they would. We went to California adventure the first day. It was more crowded than  we would have liked, but with the help of fast passes, we were able to do almost everything. My only two regrets of the first day being that we didn't manage to get a picture of Ashley with "Jake" and the second being that we didn't get the girls into the Frozen Sing Along Show. It was just so crowded since it is so new and we ran out of time. They did enjoy having their cousins and their grandparents there with us.

 I love the look on Tyler's face here. Pure joy.
 Even though Ashley didn't get to meet Jake, she still got to see the Disney Junior Show and meet Doc McStuffins. She loved the show and meeting Doc.
 On the second day, we went to Disneyland. It was just so much more crowded than California Adventure. However, we still managed to do everything that we felt the kids should experience. We did end up sending the dads home a little earlier with the sleeping/tired kids and the mom's stayed with the older kids to do a couple more rides and the fireworks show. After the fireworks, they created a fake snow over the crowd. Here is Alyssa in the snow.
 Grandma and Grandpa joined us for half of the day and were a huge help when they took Tyler off of our hands for about an hour. Grandma got this picture with Tyler and the Genie. You'll notice Tyler is as far away as he can get. He doesn't like any Characters getting close to him. He was the same way with Santa.
 The cousins together with Danny. They got along so well and had so much fun together.
We wished we had had an extra day in between the two parks to rest, but overall the kids did pretty well. Tyler refused to nap both days and as a result, ended up being pretty crabby towards the early evenings. He fell asleep in my arms both nights as we were finishing up for the night.
