Last Vacation Post - The D Word

 Disneyland is pretty much our favorite place to be.  I love this family vacation!  The boys have so much fun, and so do we.
Cars Land is also my new favorite area.  I could walk down that street at "Radiator Springs" every day. It's like walking into a movie.

So please endure enjoy all of our many pictures from the Land of Disney.
And one day I will post something non-vacation.



The cute new Luigi Tire ride.  But if you're going soon, it's not worth waiting an hour for.
Radiator Springs racers? Totally worth it.

Yes, she is wearing that.  I am glad all you in the blog-sphere can enjoy this view too. If we were not at Disneyland, this would have made my day.  :-)


This is a new found favorite at California Adventure.  I had a drinkable hot fudge sundae (that I am sure was 2000 calories...it's a good thing we walked 12 miles a day).

Can you see why Cars Land was so awesome?  
My boys are adorable!





 Character Breakfast! 
The best way to see the Characters.



 Ethan blowing out his Mickey Birthday Cake.
Happy 5th Birthday Ethan!



Did I mention I love HalloweenTime?
 
And here come all the requisite photo spots...




Eating their treat and walking through Radiator Springs for the last time on our last night.

We are sad that it is over. But it is nice to be home and get back on a schedule.

The Second Happiest Place on Earth

LEGOLAND, California




The boys had such a great time. They are always in heaven here, riding rides & playing with legos.  They got a bonus this year.  Our friends & next door neighbors the Belcher's were going to Legoland on the same day as us.  So we got to hang out with them all day.  We had such a fun time.  And I was so grateful that Ben & their Nanny could do all the spin rides that make me sick, with the kids!

After lunch.  
P.s. Lunch at Legoland is the best!  I had Chicken Stir Fry & a Churro with a dark chocolate sauce dip...yum!

 

 Love Halloween time!


 The fabulous  horse ride. HAHA


 Ethan was a little tired at this point, hence the not wanting to be in pictures.







 Brick or Treat!



I love the little Lego Cities!

Who does not love vacation?  Man, I want to go back...

SoCal Vacation Numero Uno

 Ben called me from work a couple weeks ago and said, "Kelly, let's go to Disneyland."  Those are my favorite 5 words besides, 'I love you so much'. 
So we measured Ethan to see if he was "Disneyland Big" (40") he was 41.5.  We told him we can now go to Disneyland and we better go pack. The boys were so excited! 

Our first stop though was to Visit Family in Oceanside, go to Ruby's on the Pier, and go to San Diego.



 Eating at Mom's favorite restaurant in San Diego, Filippi's. 
The boys get their own dough to play with.

 (I told Ben to look more excited, so that was his exaggerated excitement).

This was on Ethan's Birthday. We went to Ruby's Diner on the Pier with Aunt Liz & Aunt Lynzie for Ethan's Birthday.  We had such a great night!  And it was so great to see baby Kenly again.

Taking a few shots to get a cool splash in the background.  
There is this place called "The Children's Pool" in La Jolla that seals like to go to.  This place was so awesome!






I could seriously live at the beach. 
Crazy, but I don't actually like to get in the water much..I just like to enjoy the view and the smells.  Oh how I love it!

More vacation pictures to come.
