Inside Bugs Live 4D...the 4th thing being that it squirted water and had different smells during the show and it also had parts were you got poked by things coming out of the seats. It was really entertaining and we walked right in.
The boys thought that it was super funny that she knew I took her picture.

We are the tiny people under the castle...maybe we will get a better picture next time.


Enjoying one of the rides...again N just was able to sit on a lap...this was all new to us....usually there is a height restriction for these types of rides...not at Disney!



The Storybook boat ride...we are going into the giant whale.





M doing some rock climbing at Disney. He was up there a good 4 ft and made it to the finish line with only coming off the wall once.
The boys sporting some Mickey ears...N really liked the pink sparkly one :)

There are a lot of little play parks that the boys can run around in too...which is great for breaks out of the stroller for N. He really liked pushing the buttons at this one which was like a boat.


M gave the new 3D Toy Story ride two thumbs up!

Another play area...it was like the Jungle Book, tree houses with bridges connecting different sections.

A Little Jedi Training...part 1

M and J are REALLY into Star Wars...and how fitting that Disney had a Jedi Training camp "show".

M got selected to "train" with the Jedi.
Hurry the Dark Force is present!



Up comes Vader...you should have heard the crowd...we had no idea that the stage lifted up like that.



Complete with Storm Troopers...Darth tried to persuade some of the young Jedi to turn to the Dark side.




Meeting Minnie and more Day 2!

Getting Minnie's Autograph.
Cheese....N really liked Minnie!

Big smiles after Pooh's Honey Pot ride.



So what was your score? We LOVED the Buzz Lightyear Galactic Blasters ride.



Hanging out in Donald Duck's boat house.




More Day 2 Pics...Meeting Mickey!

Meeting Mickey!!

Sitting in one of Mickey's chairs in his house!

M got the other chair.


N as Director...we kinda got harshed for this one...apparently you weren't suppose to lift kids up 5 feet into the air and put them in that chair...oh well...it turned out cute!

This is how we spent a lot of our time...holding N and walking/riding through the park...he didn't mind as long as there was something to look at.





Day 2! Early Morning!

Super excited and waiting at 645am to get into the park...7am opening for resort guests.

On our first ride...Peter Pan.

Second ride...Dumbo of course! We were able to map out which rides to go on thanks to a computer program...which we paid $15 for...that you can put in the days you are at the park and interests and it plots out which rides to ride at certain times of the day...well worth it!

Mr. Toad Adventure ride.




The J's on Space mtn. (a picture of their picture you could purchase...for like $15 bucks...ummm no thanks!)




Spring Break Blowout! Day one!

Sorry the first pictures were taken with my camera phone and doesn't upload as well to the blog. But this was our 1st hotel room at the Grand California Hotel. It is one of the Disney Resort hotels and super close to the action. The boys loved the bunk beds.
M and J with M's early birthday surprise from Mickey and friends.

N happy and eating some pizza the first night...he was truly happy 90% of the time we were on vacation!


The Boys eating out on our private balcony...you could see the wonderful pool area and some of the rides at California Adventure Park. We went to bed early the first night, we had a couple of big days in front of us!




N managed to find the Laundry basket in our room!

A Broken Wing!

Playing Chess with his broken arm.
Eating left handed takes a little more time with a broken right.

Getting a little bit use to having it on.



Showing off his big muscles...or how big and how far up the cast goes.


So J came home from a non-flying month long TDY, and we decided to go out to eat and head to a park...end result lil' J broke his arm and we spent the whole next afternoon at the hospital jumping through the hoops. The break is right above the elbow and appeared to be minor...so by the time we come back from leave he will get to have it off. We ended up ordering a special waterproof cover for our intended trip...we will let you know how well it works for all of you with little kiddos for future reference.

I swear it was only a day...but more of San Fran

We started the day off in San Fransisco eating at Chowders. N enjoyed sipping some lemonade, eating some clam chowder and stealing some french fries from M.
The boys Wanted to do the trampoline-bungee jump for kids and M mastered his flips.


This is the contraption. M LOVED doing this and was sad to be done.


J all harnessed up. He was not as thrilled about getting lifted up into the air. He refused to do flips and wanted his feet touching the trampoline the entire time.


N walking around the pier and looking at the boats.

More of San Fran

Looking at the boats at one of the piers.

Do not feed me! The seagulls liked to get up close and personal.


Alcatraz from the piers.


Some sea lions chilling. There were only about a dozen, usually there are too many to count.



Outside Ripley's Believe it or Not store. N thought it was pretty cool to watch this guy.
