Disneyland!

This past March, we went down to Southern California for a good old fashioned Bolgerfest. Little Mike was turning the big 3-0 so we all got together for a week of celebrating, first in Palm Desert and then to Disneyland. Jeff and I hadn't been to Disneyland since 1999 and Ben had never been so it was really a treat to experience the happiest place on Earth thru Ben's eyes and see all the changes the park has undergone. All in all, a really fabulous and memorable week!


On our way over to Disneyland, we stopped off in Coronado to visit Great Grandma B and Nancy. Ben hadn't seen Great Grandma B since Thanksgiving and hadn't seen Nancy since he was still an infant so seeing them on top of going to the beach = a happy little man!


Here we have just entered Disneyland in our matching, tie dye "Bolgerfest Birthday Bash" t-shirts. One thing was for certain, no one from our group got lost this trip!




One of the highlights of the trip for Ben was going to the charachter breakfast. Ben literally would not sit down, he was up on stage dancing with Mickey and crew the ENTIRE breakfast. He had so much fun and it was great to see him enjoy the Mouse Club until... we had to leave... cue water works and toddler tantrum...



Just a few pics of being at Disneyland with the obligatory mouse ears hats!



Notice Ben is tugging on Pluto's whiskers...




Being pregnant, there aren't many rides I could go on other than Small World (which Ben wasn't all that thrilled with) but I did get to go on the Tomorrow Land rockets with him, which was one of the top attractions in the park, according to Ben.



Ben trying the chocolate ice cream Mickey head... what is a trip to Disneyland without said treat?!?



We were lucky enough to stay at the Grand Californian hotel in California world. This meant we could walk out of the hotel directly into the park and beat all the crowds in the AM, then come back after lunch and spend some time in the pool while the millions of Disney-goers were having melt down after melt down in the park. Then go back into the park after dinner when the rides were free and the crowds were gone. This pic below is the toddler waterslide at the Grand Californian which Ben just loooooved!
