West's Cali Trip Part IV: Disneyland Day 2

On Wednesday of the trip we were back at Disneyland. This was a fantastic day, we slowed down a little and did more exploring in each area of the park.

We rode a little trolley from the parking lot to the entrance. Here are my big boys sitting in the front by themselves.


And my beautiful Miss Lana. The kids were pretty excited this morning now that they knew what it was all about.


Our little family in front of the castle
(aka: Sleeping Beauty's Castle, aka: My Castle- as said by Lana)


Our big boys on the Indiana Jones ride.


I just liked this picture of my handsome hubby.


Brans and the kids outside of the Indiana Jones ride and in front of the Tarzan Tree house.


While the big kids did the Indiana Jones ride, Brecken, Lana and I went and explored Tarzan's Tree house. I absolutely loved that even when there were rides we couldn't go on because the kids were too small and me pregnant, there was something fun close by we could do. So we never had to sit and be bored while waiting for the others.


Me and my Man.


While the big kids did the Thunder Mountain Railroad Lana and I went and visited Santa.


The Big Thunder Mountain Rail Road Roller Coaster. If you look closely the guy in the front in the blue shirt is Branson with the rest of the troop around him.


Inside Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Lana absolutely loved this.


Lana with her Prince Charming.


The boys tried so hard to get the sword out of the stone.



This is cousin Gage sitting on Grandpa's shoulders.
He looked so handsome in his Prince Charming costume.


Loading up on "It's a Small World"


Sally, Britt, Deakin, Gage, Grandma, Lana, and Branson behind us in the boat.


This ride was actually pretty fun all decked out for Christmas with Christmas music playing.


Uncle Jonny was awesome and stood in line for all of us over at the Princesses while we were doing Small World. We just walked over and got right in. Lana was excited to meet them- the boys weren't so interested.

Lana and Ariel.


Lana was most excited to meet Belle because she actually knew who this one was. She had a long conversation with her.


And a hug for Tiana from Princess and the Frog.



I'm pretty sure this Jedi Training Academy was the highlight of our entire Disneyland experience. It was an interactive show that Aunt Britty told us we had to do. We got there early and placed ourselves front and center. When the Jedi's came out and started selecting kids for training the Dad's held up our boys that wanted to do it. Both Brecken and his cousin Dillon were chosen. Caden was being a little shy and didn't try to get up there.

Dillon and Brecken front and center on the stage!


This guy was awesome running the show and training the little "padowans". The kids got to wear a real Jedi robe and use a light saber.



After learning some moves and how to duck, each little Jedi trainee got to go up and battle either Darth Vader or Darth Maul. Here is Brecken fighting Darth Vader. He was an astute little apprentice and learned well.



Next we headed over to Toon Town. Here are the kids trying to get in a door.


Caden wasn't doing so good at giving Brecken a turn to drive the fire engine.
Can you tell by Brecken's face???


Gage and Lana trying to get in.
In the evening we watched the Christmas Parade. It was fun but our legs were killing us from having to stand the whole time. We felt like we pretty much got to see all of Disneyland in the two days we spent there.
