Disneyland 2008Here are some pictures from our fun family trip!
On the infamous 'tea cup' ride
We loved the parade. Everyone is so happy and enthusiastic and the music was so fun!
Kevin and the kids on the Matterhorn
Princess Fantasy Faire
They had the Electrical Parade on the weekend over in California Adventure. I'm so glad I got to see it. I've always wanted to see this parade, and I was worried they didn't do it anymore. After the parade there were fireworks. I love fireworks!
While Kevin, Josh and Izzy rode the Grizzly River Run ride I took Ben on a walk around Paradise Pier. He had a great time fighting with his light saber. He was a little sad he wasn't tall enough to go on the River Run, but then we found this fun 'playground' (for lack of a better word) right across the way - Brother Bear's Challenge. Ben had a good time and was entertained for quite awhile there.

And this is how David spent the week in Disneyland. David got really sick during our trip actually. He had a high fever, diarrhea , and was throwing up the whole time. He didn't eat for 4 days. So we spent some time in the Baby Centers in the parks. It's pretty cool that they have registered nurses right there if you need them. And we needed them. We were worried about David and it didn't help that it was HOT while we were there. It was in the 90s and one day it was even 101.
Poor little guy! He was so miserable and it obviously made for an 'interesting' trip. The kids were good about it and didn't complain that they didn't get to see and do as much as they'd hoped. I told them we'd come back again.So if you're wondering why David isn't in most of the pictures, well. . . now you know. One parent had to be fully focused on him and the other parent was with the other 3.
Dinner with Goofy at Goofy's Kitchen
We stayed at the Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel and this is the view from our room. It was beautiful at night with everything all lit up.
I love this picture of Izzy. I think it captures how you feel when you're in Disneyland. You're just happy, and people around you are happy too.
I guess that's why they call it -
"The Happiest Place on Earth!"

You went without me? ;) And to think you are only 5 1/2 hours from my house...HOW FUN though!!! Can I tell you how jealous I am right now? I am! I really really really really want to go. And you are absolutly 100% correct, it IS the happiest place on earth! :) Well...at least for me :) Our family all feels the same. Poor little David! That is very sad. Not that he would remember the trip anyways but it still isn't fun to be sick! I'm glad you guys had a great time! Tell the kids HELLO!!! MISS YOU!
PS did you do all the "secret" things of disneyland?
What a fun trip!! Poor David. It's so heartbreaking when they're so little and sick. I'm so glad that it was still a nice trip for your family and that you have such a positive memory of it despite his sickness. And, as your friend pointed out, he won't remember how miserable he was. :) So, you got a great vacation with an extra story to tell in the future.
See you soon!
Looking at your pictures makes me want to go! I agree, Disneyland makes you feel like a kid again and is the happiest place on earth! What great memories!
Catherine,
I love your Disney pictures! We'll have to go next year or the following.
This will be silly, but because I don't tend to go back and reread other's blog comments again and again, I thought I'd copy and paste my response to your comment on my blog. (Did that make sense?) Anyway, I just thought I'd share that David is still liking Collin over Sebastian as well. I forgot about the crab. Now that almost makes me like it more, because Sebastian the crab was a terribly talented musician. What great karma! Of course, he'd be "Bastian" to most people, I suspect. And Bastian, if you pretend that you never saw The Neverending Story, is a pretty sexy sounding name. You must admit it. :)
What a fun trip (other than poor sick baby!) Those are great pictures and great memories!!
