We let Braden play hooky so we could spend a day at the happiest, hottest place on earth...who knew a random Tuesday in early May would be so popular!? Despite the extreme heat and crowds, we enjoyed our visit.
So far, so good...we made it out of the car and we were on our way to the happiest place on earth! As long as they stay in the stroller, we should survive the day!
We got through the gate and the twins are already on their own agenda. Do we look like we know what we are doing?!
Cameron and Kennedy were intrigued from the moment we stepped through the gates of Disneyland.
Obviously Kennedy got a new outfit for her first trip to Disneyland!
Cameron had appropriate attire too!
Miss Independent was ready to take on the day...and wanted nothing to do with the stroller in the background!
Always a favorite, the Jungle Cruise was their first ride.
Kennedy loved the animals!
Hard to say who loved Pluto most?!
Cam figured he'd take charge since the ticket booth was unmanned.
Kennedy butted in to attempt to help her brother.
Cam wasn't so sure about the idea of us being in jail.
Too cute for prison!
Lots of muscles with this crew!
Kennedy enjoyed her two favorite activities...eating and dancing.
The reaction to meeting a princess for the first time was priceless!
Still a bit unsure...
Ooooh...sparkles! Kennedy quickly decided that she and this princess could be fast friends.
Cameron found his favorite spot at Disneyland...the gift shop!
Kennedy sure will miss Kelsey when she moves away!
Look who we ran into!! The Ginsburgs decided to play hooky today too!
The twins loved seeing their buddy Brayden!
Thank God Braden won't be driving for another 8 years. He made me carsick as the passenger!
Toy Story was fun for the whole family!
My first visit to Disneyland was in 1978...Braden wore the hat I got on my first trip during his first visit when he was 2!
Braden's mini-me didn't find the hat shenanigans nearly as entertaining.
C'mon, not even just for a photo?!
Of course Braden complied, but clearly he wasn't thrilled about it.
My sweet little princess loved the retro look!
Such a treat to run into Brayden's brother, Vinny!
The shear delight in every aspect of the day was just amazing!
And then there's this twin...kills us with his expressions!
Couldn't miss an opportunity for a ride with my girl.
The boys look like they are ready to do some serious spinning.
Dad vowed to not let Braden get sick.
Clearly the promise wasn't mutual. Was Braden getting revenge from the last time they rode the tea cup ride together?!
Based on our track record with family photos, this gem of our sweaty family may end up on our Christmas card!
Sorry Kels, they really do love you. It just isn't evident in photos.
Kelsey taught Kennedy how to swish, swish, swish her wand around while she pranced. She had the moves nailed immediately.
Hands down, the best big brother on earth.
This little princess is hard to resist!
It appears as if Kennedy thinks she is posing in front of her future home.
While parading up and down the parade route before it started, Kennedy stumbled across this amazing display of about a thousand balloons.
It was so hot today, so Cameron armed himself with some water for his run along the parade route.
Daddy had to reel Kennedy in because the parade was about to begin!
Not sure if Cameron was mesmerized or just glazed over from skipping his nap. At least Matt and Braden showed some excitement!
While Matt rode a couple more rides with Braden, we had to say our goodbyes after a long, fun day. Hey Brayden, watch that arm!
The kids were a little delirious by this point.
Looks like Kennedy enjoyed one too many churros. Real princesses cover their midriff!
