Disneyland Part 1

   Well Daryl and I had a moment of temporary insanity decided to take the whole family to Disneyland during the kids' mid-winter break this February.  Our friends Ben and Christie came with their kiddo Zander too who is about Luke's age.  We had a pretty good time, and it was fun to watch Luke and Zander be silly together.  Here's the photos of half our trip.

Luke really enjoyed the bus ride from the parking garage to the airport.

Here's Harper, Daryl, and Emery.

The joy of traveling with older kids.  Avery was fine the whole time playing Nintendo.

Luke was really good too.  He colored and played with his cars for a long while before we got the iPad out for him.

Daryl was also a good traveler.

We had a layover in San Francisco on the way down and the kids loved playing at play area in our terminal.

San Francisco also had a really cool display of Maneki-neko cats.  The kids loved it too.

The first day Emery rode Space Mountain with Avery and I.  She did not want to ride it again.  Avery and I rode it every morning on the other hand.

Harper wanted Daryl to ride next too her.

Emery was tickled pink to meet Mickey Mouse.

Luke was too shy to get any closer to Mickey than this.

Luke happy to see Mickey.
