Disneyland

We left for Disneyland a little after 7:00 on Sunday morning. We got into Anaheim at about 11:15 and headed to Burger King to get some lunch before going to Disneyland. We got to Disneyland and it was so crowded. I knew it would be, but I didn't care because I knew we got to spend two more days there. We bought annual passes, so we are able to get into Disneyland park and California Adventure. We had never been to California Adventure before. As soon as we got to Disneyland, we went and got our pictures taken for our annual passes. After that, we headed straight to California Adventure. It was fun. We went on rides we had never been on before and got to see things we had never seen before. The park was open until midnight on Sunday, but there was no way we could stay that late. In fact we ended up leaving there by 5 or a little after. It was hot and the kids were exhausted. Colin had been very onery all day. We headed to Red Robin right after that. We sat there for 15 minutes and noone had even come to take our drink order. It wasn't even busy, so I think our waiter just forgot about us. I don't know how he could being as Colin seriously screamed his head off the entire time. So finally Eric got up and went and told someone that we hadn't been helped yet. We finally got our order taken and it seems like it took forever. Probably because Colin was still screaming his head off and Jaidyn kept trying to climb over the booth to the table behind her. After we ate, we ran across the street to target to pick up some milk and bottled water. Then we went and checked into our hotel. I really like the hotel we stayed at because you don't have to pay to park, plus you don't have to walk really far with all your bags like we have at a few places we have stayed at before. Once we got into our hotel room, the kids were no longer onery. I don't know what it is about hotels, but they love being in hotels. We woke up early Monday and got to the park an hour before it opened. I am glad we did because we got an awesome parking spot. We hardly had to walk at all to get to the tram. We got to go on a bunch of rides and hardly had to wait in line at all. I think the longest we had to wait was about 10 minutes and that was only for 1 ride. All the other rides were much shorter lines. By about 2:30 we decided to head back to the hotel because it was very hot and the kids were being very onery. Once we got back to the hotel, we decided to go swimming in the hotel pool. I read online before we got there that they had a heated pool, so I took our swimming suits along. Then we decided to eat at Red Robin once again. Nothing else sounded good for dinner and Red Robin has a good selection for everyone. Thankfully on Tuesday night we got in and out really quick and Colin didn't cry at all. On Tuesday we woke up and got ready, packed all our stuff, checked out of our hotel and headed to disneyland. We got there an hour early again, so we had awesome parking once again. On Tuesday we hardly had to wait in line for anything. Eric and Jaidyn went on the Pirates ride and walked right on, they didn't have to wait in line at all. We had a hard time leaving that day because we were having so much fun. Finally about 1:30 we got out of there. We drove straight home without making one stop and got home by 5:30. I am so glad we ended up buying the season passes. I loved being able to go to Disneyland for 3 days in a row and the kids really seemed to have enjoyed it too. Here are a few pictures from our trip.
