California Adventure- With the Palmers

We have been to Disneyland a lot. In fact since Bryan and I got married in December 2014 we have been I think 12 times. We love it. Well I love it Bryan will go with me. In fact we had just been in January of this year but since Palmers were helping pay and of course we didn't want to miss out anyway we went. Out of all of our trips this one was my very favorite. It may be because I was able to go on most of the rides with my entire family for the first time since we had children. It was also due to the fact that we had such a awesome time with the cousins. Our families got along so well. We never had any issue and the kids did great. It was so fun to ride everything with them. Best trip ever! 

The first morning we went to California Adventure. Jenny's family stayed in a different hotel so we decide to meet them in the park. We actually got there before rope drop but because it was a early entry day for people staying at Disney hotels soaring over california was open. Well they didn't check that we weren't part of the early group and let us on! What a fun way to start the day. We had been on our first ride before it even opened. 


East was so happy to ride this with Jake. It was the only big ride I could get him on in January that he liked.
We ran over to this ride after and Grandma and Grandpa took Bode and East on Monsters inc. We knew they wouldn't like it. We were laughing that even Cory (who says he hates Disneyland) was smiling in this photo.


Poor Katie and I ended up having to do all the big rides with the kids. Bryan and Cory somehow ended up not having to go. Good thing I like the big rides!



Cars Ride. East loved it this time. The other boys loved riding with cousins. Disneyland is better with cousins!
Because it was December it seems that most people in the parks felt it was too cold for the water rides. Because we came from snow covered Utah 60 degrees felt like heaven. This was about the only ride that had pretty much zero line so they would ride it over and over again. Good thing we brought ponchos!



You can't go to disneyland without getting a churro.


We didn't really meet up with the Christensen's most of the first couple of days.  It was hard to meet up with them with their handicap pass for Sannette. We loved seeing them though the day though.



The highlight of my trip was this ride. Our whole group minus Colton and Shanice who had left was on this ride. It is Sannettes favorite ride and it was important to Grandma to be there with her. I was lucky enough to sit near them. Sannette sat in-between Grandma and Grandpa and I was next to Grandma. I decided to record her on the ride for fun and the video makes me cry. She cheered the ENTIRE 4 minutes of the ride. Saying stuff like "I can't believe it!" the whole time. No person was ever so happy as her in that moment. It's was the best part of the trip to me.





Katie's boys and mine (minus East) showing they rode Grizzly bear rapids 10 times that day. We went on it in the dark and it really was dark for most of the ride.
