Disneyland Vacation 3-4-09

The will never be able to deny these hats! What a wonderful vacation! So nice to be back as a family again for a little while! Enjoy the photos! They are in reverse order....We did the Grand Canyon, Disneyland, California Adventure and then Sedona!
Jonas became a big fan of beef jerky (Buffalo jerky actually) on this trip...Yes! finally getting some protein in this boy....dont let his face fool you, he really is enjoying it!
Jonas just had to go pepe in the water!
Sedona, Az!
It is really time for In and Out to branch out!
Yummmmmy...the boys are not longer burger virgins, and no better place then In and Out to take of that for them!
Love it love it!
This is what happens when someone offers to take a family pic for you! We didnt want Mickey in the picture anyway!
The boys braved the pool in the cool California weather....the weren't alone believe it or not....crazy if you ask me!
Just how good my new camera really is....both pics taken from the 8th floor of our hotel room! Dang thats good!:)
Jake doesnt share how excited he was to have goofy sitting right next to him, he lets everyone know he was was drinking Sprite that night! Lucky kid!
Dinner at Goofy's Kitchen. You pay an arm and and leg for a really good buffet and the characters walk around the restaurant while you eat and come and visit your table.
It was fun-ish...the kids were tired and cranky so not too smart after a long day at the park!
The parade at California Adventure was awesome, these are just a few of the characters we saw! So fun!
Ladybug ride in A Bugs Life area of California Adventure.....dont tell anyone but Jason got a little queezy on this one!!
Jake was more excited that Dad bought him the cotton candy he wanted than standing next to Handy Manny!
Frozone
Mr Incredible
California Adventure was a totally different kind of park but a lot of fun!
This was on the walk from our hotel, Disneyland Hotel, to the actual parks!
This ride actually went really really high, we didnt let the kids know that mommy and daddy were a little bit scared! hahahah
The boys Mickey ear. Jonas picked out his own......things have really changed since I went to Disneyland as a kid. You can now create your own ears. Jonas picked out this glittery blue hat and just HAD to have it...and then the ears...well they just topped the cake! They loved their ears and wore them the whole vacation!
Jake was so excited to see Goofy he just couldnt stand it and ran up in front of the whole crowd of kids to just give the big guy a hug!! It was too cute!
The emphamous tea cups!
Jonas was a little apprehensive of Pluto
We made it to the Happiest Place on Earth!!!
Hold on tight Jason!!
Inside a 3 floored 'tower' that had beautiful views of the canyon.
Notice my hair, and the dust devil in the background.
Our first stop at the Grand Canyon set the tone for the whole visit. It was incredibly windy (windiest Jas or I have ever been in) and it really freaked the boys out,expecially Jake. It was rather humourus, he was very upset saying he wanted to just go home, he didnt care any more he just wanted to go home! Poor kid, nothing like standing on the edge of the biggest canyon in the world with gusts of wind that could easily push you over the edge!
Cheesey Jake!
We were shocked at how much snow was actually on the ground, considering the decent 60 degree temps.

Man, I wish we could have gone! How long was the drive??? The boys looked so great, Gage stood and looked at the pics with me. Miss you guys, and I love the pics of the canyon, and Disney. Good to see the new camera working so well!
