Disneyland 2009

We arrived home yesterday morning after a loooong 24 hour car ride back from Disneyland (and California Adventures and San Diego Zoo too!) The ride there was equally endless but the anticipation of going to Disneyland carried us through. The long ride cooped up in the Suburban with five fidgety boys was worth it. Disney did not disappoint! Despite an initial downpour the first morning in the park, all was sunny and warm. The boys were on their best behavior and few complaints were heard. Everyone had a blast and I, at long last, rode my beloved Pirates of the Caribbean. Lines were fairly short the first two days (the rain did not scare these Oregonians away!) and we avoided rides with long lines on the third day, opting to use Fast Passes and Switch Passes for those rides. On our last full day in California, we went to the San Diego Zoo. The boys loved all the animals and I enjoyed the tour bus ride after many hours of walking and pushing the double stroller. We decided that this is a trip worth repeating soon.

Here are the boys in their matching yellow shirts, ready to leave for our first day at Disneyland (we were staying at Uncle Brian's.)
