Disneyland 2018 {Days 3 & 4}

We spent our second full day at Disneyland at California Adventure. {There are only two parks at Disneyland & everything is so close together in comparison to Disney World, which makes it super doable and a lot less overwhelming with small kids.}

{Shelby proud to be riding on her own again!}

{Brady's "cheese" face looks pretty painful, but he thoroughly enjoyed the Jungle Cruise ride!}

And this next picture was the last one of the day, but probably one of my favorites :)  We stopped off at Cold Stone for dessert before heading back to our hotel for the night, and the girls were sitting at their own table just chit chatting about our day. Derek & I just kept looking at them thinking how sweet they were and how they've got a pretty good little life. ;)

We spent our last day back at the original Disneyland park again before hitting the road around 2ish to head back to Las Vegas. Since we weren't going to be at the park all day long and we'd already ridden/seen pretty much everything we wanted to, our main goal for this day was just to hit up the girls' favorite rides again. With that said, I'm pretty sure we did Astro Blasters at least five times on this day! ;)  The other highlight of our last day was getting to meet a few more characters!

 

{We got to meet Flynn Rider for the first time ever! He was SO much fun! He told the girls to make a smolder for the first picture ;)  After we took pictures with him, he told us he was going to try to track Blondie down!}

{He found Blondie!! These two were probably the most fun characters we met on the entire trip, and they talked with the girls for the longest time!}

And this last picture from our drive home sums how we all felt after our trip to Disneyland! There is no tired like Disney tired!!!

 

 

 

We are so thankful we made this trip happen! We had the BEST time! Also, this was our first trip that we've taken since Brady was completely weaned from breastfeeding, and it felt so monumental! When we went to the Grand Canyon back over Thanksgiving, Brady was already down to nursing only 2-3 times a day..but that meant we still had to stop to nurse him in the car on our travel days & we had to stop mid-exploring the Grand Canyon to feed him. Of course that wasn't a huge deal or big inconvenience by any means, but this Disneyland trip was a lot more freeing without having to stop to nurse. And it also didn't hurt that Brady slept like a CHAMP in the hotel on this trip! I'm talking one morning we almost had to go in & wake him up b/c we were all up and eager to get to the parks!! Our kids are becoming such good little travelers, and we so enjoy making these memories with them! Our next big trip will be in the Spring to check out two more national parks--we can't wait!
