Disneyland Rides, Shows and More...

So Kernan was big enough this trip to ride all the BIG rides, except Indiana Jones and the Screamin' Rollercoaster in California Adventure.  But he got to ride all the others! Ü
Our first ride of our trip was Buzz Lightyear Astro Blaster!!  This is Kernan's FAVORITE!

Then we headed to Space Mountain... This was Kernan's first time, and I didn't tell him all about it!  I just told him that he was going to get to ride a rocket into space and see stars and meteors...  I left out the part of it being fast, DARK and jerky! Ü

He was VERY excited!!  But as you can see from our picture, he quickly changed his mind!  When we got off the ride and I asked him if he liked it he said, "NO! That was a dumb ride!  I'm just a LITTLE boy!" haha!  We didn't go on that ride again!  Maci did, but Kernan was NOT interested!!

So we decided to go to a slower paced ride...  Small World!
My cute Mouse and I...

Of course Turtle got to come along to Disney, they both wore their Mouse Ears all 3 days we were there!

We stopped inside "The Mad Hatter" to check out the latest hat selection!

I love this picture!  Our kids are in heaven while at Disneyland!!  Can't you tell?!

Next we were off to Splash Mountain!  This is our families favorite ride of all!!  We usually ride it 6+ times a trip!  I was SO excited to take Kernan on it!!  Here we are on our log...

And here we are on our 2nd trip down!  I got him to ride it twice!!  He LOVED it except for the big drop!  The smaller ones he was fine with but the big one, not so much!  At least he didn't hate it like he did Space Mountain!

Day 2... We spent the day in California Adventure...  Check out our cute Toy Story 3 action figures!  They are priced very high!! lol!

The kids rode that one twice...  My daughter is SO her father's child! Ü

Then we went and watched the Bug's Life 3D movie, another sweet pair of glasses to model!
Photobucket

The kids thought that was so sweet!  Kernan liked the blue butterfly in it!

The kids rode Grizzly Mountain 9 times on Day 2!!  7 of those were after 9:00pm!  And it was not warm on this trip!!  They were freezing by the time they got back up to the hotel room!  We also had a first happen on one of our Disneyland trips...  There was an earthquake!!  Which closed down all the big rides for 2 hours!  Thankfully it was right at dinner time, so we walked out to Downtown Disney and ate dinner.  By the time we got back in, the rides were all up and going!  Still it was crazy!!

We took pictures by a couple of the letters on Day 3... This is "L" for Logan, my cousin who is serving a mission in the Ukraine.

And by the "I" for Idaho (where Kolby was serving) and as a number one for ONE YEAR!

While everyone was on Indiana Jones, Kernan and I went on a Jungle Cruise!  We saw a lot of animals!
Photobucket

These are of course my favorites!
Photobucket

And my favorite Monkey!!

Kernan and I rode Alice in Wonderland, he loves that movie!! (the original of course)
Photobucket

He was SO excited because he got to sit in the front all by himself!

This was the last show we saw before we headed over to World of Color...  If you've never seen them take the flag down at sunset, you need to make a time to see it!  People were already lining up for the parade later that night, but for this show no one was around. Which makes me sad because people should line up to see it!!  If you don't know what they do, here's a brief run down... They play patriotic songs, have a quartet come out and sing patriotic songs.  Then they ask people in the crowd who have served or are serving in the different parts of the American Army to come stand around the flag. It's an amazing display of the love we have or should have for our country!  Seriously go watch it!

Kernan had fallen asleep shortly before we watched... He can sleep through anything!  Look how close he is to the band!

So that was the end of Day 3, after this we headed out to get our spots for World of Color!!  Most amazing show EVER!!  Pictures coming soon!!

Disney looks great of course...so, WOW about Kolby!! Will he be going back? I bet he's disappointed to be slowed down. Are you sharing what the 'medical' treatment was?
