Disneyland

The past couple of years we have not taken our annual Disneyland vacation but at tax time this year we decided to get our priorities straight and visit the Happiest Place on Earth. :)

All kidding aside, we did actually decide that building some memories with our kids IS in fact a priority...not that you have to go to Disneyland to do that but it is a big help.

We happen to be what I refer to as "avid Disneyers"...we love everything about Disneyland. Perhaps it is just nostalgia on mine and Rob's part since we both have some really great memories of Disneyland but whatever it is; apparently we have imparted it to our kids because they saved every penny they got this year to go and came up with about $400 on their own to contribute! What troopers!

This year we were lucky enough to have our Auntie Beth (my best friend from childhood) and her sister Hannah along. Hannah is a lovely 13 year old girl so it was just AWEFUL for our boys to have to decide who HAD to ride with her on some of the rides. ;) (There may or may not have been a little romantic sibling rivalry on their parts...I'm just sayin'.)

We were also fortunate to have planned our vacation at the same time as our good friends Pat and Kristine John and their awesome clan of kiddos so we were able to hang out with them at the Magic Kingdom as well. So fun!!

This slideshow is a small representation of the fun we had there this year and the memories that we will always cherish...it was a blast!
