Well, better late than never right? We went to Disney in February to celebrate Quinn and Leo's birthday and I am just now getting around to finishing up blogging about our trip. I will try to write as much as I can remember based on the pictures but it will probably be short since it was SO LONG ago.
Our trip to Disney was amazing, like it is each time! We were so happy my parents could join us again especially since we had the big move coming up and we knew it was their last trip out to Utah. It was also fun because Julie, Han and Braxton joined us too. On the last day at the park we decided to take the tram from Downtown Disney to the park to help save on some walking. The kids loved riding the tram and looking out the windows. It is a fun way to cut some walking distance down!!
We rode Buzz Lightyear but for our little sensitive guy, the waiting area was too loud. When he rides this ride he will sit on your lap and cover his ears and refuses to touch the gun and play the game. He doesn't cry but just sits their quietly! I may be repeating from the other Disney post but I can't remember which day we did what. Quinn rode both Space Mountain and the StarWars ride and she loved both of them. We did the parent swap so I could also ride Space Mountain with her. I thought for sure she was going to fall out so I held onto her the entire ride! The grown ups got to ride Indiana Jones as well which is always a fun ride, thanks to my brave momma for watching all 4 kids while we rode it!
We also went and watched the Magical Map show with Mickey and other friends. It is a fun musical show and Quinn likes it because Pochantas is in it, she doesn't make a lot of appearances at Disneyland so we like that we can catch her there.
We went to Toon Town so that Quinn and Braxton could ride the little roller coaster ride, they both loved it. I love Toon Town, it is so cute and magical.
No Disney trip would be complete without a trip to see the princesses! I just can't get over Q's faces in these pictures, she really was in heaven. Disney is the greatest, it is so fun to watch how much the kids enjoy it. People think they are too little and won't remember these trips but I think they will and I love seeing how much fun they have anyway even if they don't remember! She is at such a great age and really thinks it is magical.
Looking back at these pictures, I can't believe how little Finley was! She looked super cute the entire time in her minnie outfits. She also got a lot of grandma snuggles. Julie, Han and Braxton had to head back halfway through the day to catch their flight so we finished their time at It's a Small World. I remember riding this ride as a kid on our family trips to Disney World. Leo was asleep in the stroller so Dave took one for the team and sat outside with him so we didn't have to wake him up!
When we came outside, we found both of them sleeping. Disney is fun but it is EXHAUSTING!!
We said good-bye to Julie, Han and Braxton and then rested for a little bit before heading back to the park. Finley also got a lot of papaw snuggles too. Our condo was perfect and it was so nice to be able to go back and rest for a little bit.
We ended our magical trip with watching the night time parade one more time. We ended up getting an awesome spot and grandma and papaw watched the kids while Dave and I went and rode Star Wars together with our parent swap tickets. Really, our spot was perfect and it was the best way to end the trip watching the parade one more time.
After the parade we realized that California Adventure was still open and being that Cars Land at night is our favorite part of Disney, we headed over so we could see it the kids could ride the Tow Mater ride one more time. It was a great way to end a very memorable trip!
At one point on the way home from the parks, Leo was LICKING the sidewalk (I guess we know how tired he was!) and a few hours after being back at the condo he started puking everywhere! I don't know if it was a bug he caught, from licking the sidewalk or eating a bunch of random food that day but it was awful. He puked on so many of the condos blankets and pillows. We tried to clean up and wash as much as we could that night and the next day but we had to check out and hit the road so my parents didn't miss their flight out of Las Vegas. I called the condo owner and apologized profusely! I don't know what it was but he didn't get sick at all on our 10 hour drive home thankfully!! We had the very best time at Disney and these trips will always be some of my best memories from our time in Utah...... now onto Disneyland Paris!! :)
Mickey Mouse is good, family is good, life is SO VERY GOOD.
