Disneyland

Now for the good stuff. Thursday was our first full day in California. Keller woke up at 6:30 a.m. normal time 5:30 a.m. California time wanting to get up and go to Disneyland. I told him that they are not open yet. He kept bugging us to get going. So finally I said, "No one is there do you want me to drop you off at the gate so you can just wait for the Disneyland people to come?" Yep lets go he said. So we walked over to the Disneyland Hotel for our character breakfast at Goofy's kitchen. What fun! I recommend that to anyone going. Keller ate bacon, pancakes (in the shape of Mickey) and a hot dog bun. They had every thing imaginable to eat. Mac and cheese to waffles. The characters walked around all the tables so you could get pictures with them at your table. They boys were all smiles. At one point Dale from Chip and Dale came to our table. He pointed to Kellers plate and then to Kellers mouth telling him to eat his food. Keller gave him a look like "not you too!" We took some great pictures of Jaren in a Grumpy dwarf hat and beard. That sure was a fitting hat. That man fought Disneyland from day one. "lets just take them to the Grand Canyon" He didn't want to go at all. But the second we got home he started planing next years trip! We all loved it. Sawyer went on the big California Screamer roller coaster and survived. He said that that was his favorite. Keller loved the train coaster (big thunder mountain) but who doesn't! I bet we rode that one at least 12-14 times. The crowds weren't to awful especially on Thursday. California Adventure was great. Some cool rides there also. Here are a few pics. Jaren scanned in a couple of pics that we bought from Disney after a ride. The one is from Slash Mountain and the other is Jaren and Sawyer on the big coaster. Sawyer is relaxing on the big coaster so it wasn't as scary. Jaren had bugged him for 2 days about being a wanny and not riding the coaster and the Sawyer said Okay Dad, lets go. Jaren was back pedaling after that. But they went and liked it. Keller and I look like it is our last few moments on earth in the splash mountain ride but it sure was fun! Thanks for looking and I will keep adding random photos over the next little while.
