Disneyland with Grandchildren

So Katie said, "Why don't you go with us to Disneyland? We'd really like you to go with us." So . . . we went to Disneyland. During the coldest weekend ever, with snow of the mountains around the LA basin, and we had fun, rode rollercoasters, walked, put on rain ponchos, saw princesses and fairies, laughed, walked, shot aliens, rode more rollercoasters, walked, took off ponchos, saw a goat, rode boats, walked, sang songs, put up umbrellas, ate snacks, climbed a treehouse, rode another rollercoaster, walked, and had more fun. This, of course, does not describe everything we did, nor do the pictures cover everything, but they give a feel for our adventure.
Friday morning at one of the best breakfast bars I've ever seen. Only one drawback, according to Dad. There was no raisin bran.
Very first ride of the adventure. Go Space Scouts!









Dad gets into the mood in Toon Town.







Waiting for the princesses Saturday morning. Katie says the 45 minutes waiting in line was worth it. We were second. I should explain. Katie and Emma waited. The rest of us rode the Matterhorn. It was great!


Have you hugged your princess lately?

All the princesses in a row! Rachel's smile is just great!



Twirling for the fairies.




Dad's favorite part of the whole time. Holding grandchildren.





One of Jacob's highlights of the weekend. Riding behind the engine on the train. The other two were Space Mountain and Thunder Mountain Railroad, or as he called it, "the crazy train". We had a great time and were glad to see Charlie, Marilyn and the kids. We came home with lots of memories, stories and the feet were only sore for a couple of days. You'll have to ask Dana about her hat.

Your pictures turned out great! We had such a fun time and the kids loved looking at your blog. Want to do it again next week?
