Want to go see Mickey?

Tuesday morning we decided we would take an unplanned trip to Disneyland for the day. Kurt had just one appointment scheduled so he moved it around to a different day so we could spend the day together. When Emmitt woke up we asked him if he wanted to go see Mickey, of course he replied YES! Then we said where does mickey live, at this question his eyes lit up as he shouted DISNEYLAND!! We had to run a few errands on the way, we stopped off and dropped Kurts honda at a auto shop for some repairs. I also had to stop at Walmart to return some dvds to redbox, and Home Depot to return some chicken wire Kurt had bought. The kids were restless in our stops wondering when we were going to finally get to Disneyland. They were so excited when we got there, as you can see in this video. They were going nuts while we were walking from the parking garage to the tram.

We had to stop at the ticket booth to get a courtesy pass for me, I misplaced my season pass. And we HAD to buy Emmitt a ticket this time. We've been sliding by, the cut off is 2, but everytime we've gone we've just brought our dbl stroller and stuck him in the back. Sounds horrible I know but it's so expensive!! Once inside the park we rented one of their strollers for Alaina since she likes to walk at her own pace, which is WAY too slow and distracted. We saw Goofy right off the bat so we stopped for a family photo.

(She was so PSYCHED!)

Then we found some shade and ate our home packed lunch of pb & j, apricots, and granola bars. Our first ride was Pirates of the Caribbean, then Haunted mansion, etc. Emmitt rode Star Tours for the very first time, yep he's tall enough now! That was exciting to go on a new bigger kid ride with him. Kurt took Alaina on Buzz Lightyear while Emmitt & I rode Star Tours. He loved it, the look on his face was sooooo CUTE! He was very animated in his explanation to Kurt about the ride! We rode a couple more before we were tuckered out, and headed home.
