The Happiest Place on Earth

....is Toys R Us (not DisneyLand according to Tyler).  Well, we went to Disney and I'm pretty sure the kids had more fun than they do at the toy store.  Carol turned 60 this year and decided she wanted to take the kids to DisneyLand for her birthday, which is on Christmas.



The first ride the kids all went on




On the Buzz Lightyear Ride



 Being Silly in line




The train we rode



Carousel



They got tired and passed out in the stroller

Colin fell asleep completely sitting up unsupported and almost fell off the back part of the stroller.  We put him in the front seat and he got a good nap also


Jason and Tyler on a rollercoaster

Treetop adventures

On the jungle cruise








Colin and I rode on this rollercoaster.  It was one of the few that he could ride at his height.  He had a lot of fun but it was so short and we waited 50 minutes to get on it.  When it was over Colin was asking me why it "wasn't a long time?"




 Toon Town




On the Nemo "submarine" ride


Picture "with" Woody and Jesse. The line to get your picture actually taken with them was closed

This was in line for Dumbo.  I'm not sure what she thought the elephants were but she loved them and kept howling at them.  

Riding Dumbo.  Audrey loved this ride.  We waited FOREVER to get on it



Colin and Tyler in their matching shirts.  I never did get one of all four of them though

Posing

 Uncle Billy bought this balloon that lit up and the kids loved it


The park was so pretty at night.  







Audrey was asleep and Colin and I are exhausted on the bus back to the car
