We Have Arrived!
We had such a great time on our Disneyland trip! The weather was just perfect! All 3 boys had a ball! And they were so well-behaved! We really enjoyed our time together as a family and can't wait to go back again!
Entering the park for the first time!
B E A U T I F U L !
Every morning, we got to the Park right at opening and the staff would line up and give everybody "High Fours"! Here's Gibson going down the line!
Gibson all dressed up in his Disney gear and ready to go - Jack Skellington fedora and shirt and Pirates of the Carribean Jacket!
Gibson hanging on the Disneyland sign (on the bottom left)!
THE RIDES!!!
All 3 boys just absolutely LOVED all of the rides! They have their favorites (Gibson - Big Thunder Mtn Railroad, California Screamin. Caleb & Gage - The Jungle Cruise, Small World, Pirates, Casey Jr. Circus Train), but they LOVED all the rides. They were not afraid of any of them.

We made Gibson sit in his own teacup because Brady and I don't like to spin!

The Storybook Land Canal Boats!
Gage and Caleb standing up on Small World - they loved to see it all!
Gibson at one of his most favorite rides ever - Big Thunder Mountain Railroad!!!
This trip was the first time we had ever ridden on the Casey Jr. Circus train. The boys LOVED it! We rode it first thing almost every day!
Caleb sitting on the train!

We even went on the Carousel for the first time!

Me on the Silly Symphony swings!
All of us on Disneyland Railroad!
All bundled up to see World of Color!
Waiting for the 3D Muppet Show to begin! The boys really liked it. They also loved Bug's Life! We were afraid it would scare them, but it didn't!
Gibson, Brady & Gage on the new Little Mermaid ride!
On Dumbo again!
Mickey's Toon Town!
Anytime the boys got to be out of their stroller and run around, they had a ball! We let them do that in certain parts of Toon Town. Here they are exploring Mickey's House!
Gage just climbed right up onto this chair! So cute!
We had to hold Caleb down so we could get a picture!
Caleb at Mickey's piano (not as much fun as Goofy's piano, which he played earlier).
Cheese, Gibson!
Having fun!
Running around Goofy's House!
Playing in Goofy's Garden!
Yay! Another slide!
Here's the fun piano! I think Caleb played this for about 10 minutes!
Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer Island
Ah, freedom! Run, Gage, Run!
Run, Caleb, Run!
Now where to go???
Playing on the rocks!
Gibson scrambled to the top of the rock pile!
Gage and Caleb having fun on the rocks and playing with pine cones!
Perhaps my favorite picture of the trip! Caught Gage coming around a corner in one of the caves! They LOVED running around in the caves!
Caleb in the caves!
Gibson high up in the treehouse!
The rope bridge - if you look close, you can see a bit of Gage behind Gibson.
I have an identical picture of me on the rope bridge with my brother and sisters in 1986!
Caleb working the water pump!
Redwood Creek Wilderness Area
I think Caleb and Gage went down these slides at least 50 times! After running around this area for awhile, we had quite a few skinned knees! And a lot of smiles!
Gibson loves to go on this swing. He waited in line by himself for over 1/2 hr and he says it was worth it!
Around the Park
Gibson in his "cool" hat (no, we did not buy it)
Caleb watching the Parade - he was absolutely fascinated!
A backside view of the castle
The parade (that we had to watch because Caleb loved it so much!)
Somehow (we aren't sure why), one morning they let us go in a few minutes early for the "magic morning" hours (and we didn't have the magic morning passes). So we got a nice shot of us in front of the castle with NO other people. This was also the ONLY time we got on the Peter Pan ride because it was the only time it didn't have a 30 minute + wait!
Gibson and I by our favorite fountain
Gibson at the Haunted Mansion
A few scenes of Storybook Land (as seen from the Casey Jr Circus train)
A peak at the new Cars land!
A scene from the new Little Mermaid ride!
Fireworks!
Sleepy Boys!
Ride "Pictures"
I always take "pictures" of the pictures you can buy of yourself on the ride. So they don't turn out that well, but you get the idea (the idea of how much FUN we had!!) These are all of Gibson and I - my ride buddy!

The Ducks of Disneyland
We've never been at the end of March, so this was the first trip where we got to see baby ducklings walking around the park! So super cute, but you were so worried that they were going to get trampled!
The Flowers of Disneyland
One of the things I love about Disneyland is how beautiful it is! They do such a wonderful job with the gardens and flower beds! They are different every time we go!
Hanging out at our hotel:
Whenever Gage was in the stroller at Disneyland, he wanted out. But as soon as we got back to the hotel, he climbed right back into the stroller! Silly Boy!
This is the room where we put Caleb and Gage's cribs (Brady usually slept in here, too):
Our Bathroom area:
This is the room where Gibson and I slept:
Caleb and Gage eating very messy spaghetti in our room!
Having fun at the pool!
Having fun in the (small) tub! They are used to our big jetted tub at home. So they really got the floor all wet here!
I'm ready to go back!!!
