Labor Day Weekend

We went to Disneyland over the weekend and had a blast! We dropped the twins off at Melanie's house, thank you again, so that we could have a good time with just the big boys! We went on labor day to Disneyland which I thought was going to be really horrible, but it wasn't that bad. We also hit it up the next day for several hours!

Some noteworthy things that happened-

Rhett had a brilliant idea to be there right at open on Monday to hit all the big rides and get switch rider passes. It was awesome because it wasn't busy yet so we hit Indiana Jones, the thunder railroad, splash mountain, and space mountain and got 2 switch rider passes that we could use later in the day! Smart move babe! We didn't wait in line more than 10 minutes the whole day!

While Carter and I were riding splash mountain it broke down. We were right at the top of the mountain as they unloaded everyone. We walked down the ramp and down through the back side of the ride to get out. Carter was so excited and kept saying, "This is so awesome" the entire time we walked down. The ride attendant thought he was the cutest boy ever. She asked if I would wait behind and talk to her after she gave everyone a fast pass to get back on later in the day! She gave Carter 3 "choice" rides that he could use to go through the exit and get right on because he was so cute and excited about the whole thing. He could use these passes on whatever ride he wanted to and it admitted up to 6 people!

Taylor cracked his face on the cement!

While waiting for Rhett to get off of California Soaring we were waiting on this bench in the shade and a guy from Ukraine was sitting by us. He was eating grapes and Taylor looked right at him and said, "Hey you eat those grapes?" The guy smiled and asked me if he could have one and I nodded and thanked him for sharing. Taylor curled right up next to him and shared 10 grapes with him while he loved every minute of it! When his party returned he introduced them to me and Taylor and thanked me for sharing my son. Then he reached and gave him a hug and 3 more grapes! It was very sweet!

We ate every meal at Disneyland, which we never do, because it is so expensive. We had enough Disney dollars to pay for it all... so to us it was free! 

Grandma's Hotail!

My all time favorite picture is below when we were on Pirates and you go down that first drop! Carter face says it all. Take a look at Taylor's eyes too! What a crack up!

A day without strollers! First time ever for us! Taylor was a champ and just needed a ride on daddies shoulder's a few times!

Carter's favorite ride this time was the Grizzly Bear Rapids. He used his pass to get me and daddy to go with him. I got soaked, but not nearly as bad as Rhett did! Carter was laughing the entire time and made it especially fun for everyone on our little boat!

Taylor loved the characters! He loved getting to give them a hug! He saw Pooh Bear, Tigger, Eeyore, Sully, Snow White, Pluto, Mickey, Minnie, Max, and Aladdin. He had a blast this time!

The boys were extremely nice to each other! Overall a fantastic trip to Disneyland! Thanks all for the help with the twins and letting us use the time share!
