Disney Land!!

Despite having been to southern California several times now, this was my first trip to Disney Land... We were joined by the Hawkins, which made it all the better!
My one objective: See Mickey!




Taking a jungle cruise with Kelsey and Katelyn.


Walt Disney & Mickey!



It got a little chill & rainy at night... but it was a good thing because the park emptied out a lot faster... not so many crazy crowds!


I was a little disappointed with the castle during the day, but it totally made up for it when they turned the lights on... with all the icicles for Christmas, beautiful!


Rob and Dave, ever competitive, took each other on in Buzz Lightyear... sadly I think everyone beat Rob's score... even Katelyn.


It's a Small World! All decked out for Christmas... I loved this! So many lights, you couldn't quit looking at them...

The fireworks show at the end was great too, it was all done to Christmas music, and coordinated perfectly! The rain let up just in time for the show and started right back up once it was over. It was perfect!

Highlight of the Day: Meeting Mickey
Favorite Ride: Sorry Kelsey, not the Matterhorn... Indiana Jones!
Rob's favorite Ride: Peter Pan? Ok..

Thanks again to our tour guides, the Hawkins! You guys sure do know your way around Disney Land! Thank you also for letting us borrow our nieces so we could go on all the kid rides and still look cool! (Secretly we wanted to anyways...) We both had a ton of fun!

Love the new pic of you guys, it's great. It looks like you had a great time and hey at Disney Land you could never look silly b/c that's the one place we can all act like kids.

Hey! Joe and I LOVED Disneyland when we went last year! It looks like you had a lot of fun! Joe and I still went on some of the kiddy rides without little kids! ;) It is such a happy place. Did you guys go to California Adventure as well? That place is fun too.
