We started our New Year with surprising the boys with a trip to Disneyland for New Years Eve. We spent the whole day at Disneyland and California Adventures.
We started the trip off by telling Jake and Trent that daddy need to go to LA for a one day training trip. We rented a car and drove down to LA and found our hotel that was in Santa Ana. The next morning we woke up early and told the boys we needed to find where daddy was going to train. After driving around Disneyland once it took them until we pulled into the parking garage to figure out where we were taking them that day and oh they were so excited.
This was taken on the tram to the entrance to buy the tickets to Disneyland. This time we decided to do a park hopper ticket. So we did both lands.
Here the boys are racing to get into Disneyland they were so excited to see everything. I was excited to be able to see Disneyland all decorated for the holidays
Here the boys are in front of the famous Mickey face and Disneyland Train station.
This is Trent on his first Star Tours ride. Last time we went to Disneyland he was to little to ride this ride. He was so excited to be able to finally get on all of the rides that he wanted to ride. We got to also see the new Finding Nemo ride on the Submarines. But I think the best part was seeing both the boys faces after we got done riding Space Mountain.
One of Jake's favorite characters lately is Jack Skeleton from Nightmare before Christmas. So he was excited to be able to get this picture taken of him with Jack. We also went on the Haunted Mansion ride that was all decked out in Nightmare before Chrismas.
After awhile and a lot of rides at Disneyland we went over to California Adventure to see what that was like. We went and saw the 3-D Muppet movie, rode the Monsters Inc. ride, rode the Grizzily rapids ride twice and soaking wet and we also stood in a long line to ride the Toy Story Mania ride.
As Jake will say mommy loves to have pictures of everything. So I try and document the fun we have.
This is just me with the boys having Eric take more pictures of us.
There was a nice couple that was even nice enough to take our family picture at the Hollywood backlot spot.
We were lucky to find a short line and take some pictures with Characters. We took one with one of my favorite characters Goofy. We even took some with the Cars from the movie Cars.
We had a lot of fun but after 17 hours at the park we were ready to go. We stayed all the way until it was New Years Day. We had a great trip and loved being able to celebrate the new year with Disney.
