As Sneak Peek at Out Disneyland Trip!!

There are so many photos to choose from it's taking a while....So I decided to break up the posts and do sneak peeks of our Trip... (:( something in the uploading process to photobucket made them blurry, so the real photos are going into a scrapbook but hope you can enjoy it!)

But First we'd Like to Thank God for Blessing Us with this Opportunity of a Lifetime, When we rented the van we thought we were going to get a Kia and it was small, with God's grace we were blessed with a nice lady downstairs when I picked up the van and Got a new Toyota Sienna with automatic doors and everything, I even got to Pick the color which was a Deep Shiny Blue, my favorite..It goes to show that it's God that pulls strings for you if you are faithful to him, knowing this, it started off our trip with a bang, and I'd Like to Thank my mom and dad and sister for some much needed spending money for the trip, and to Auntie Almer and family for their generosity..Without my family this wouldn't have been able to happen and I'm so glad we got to reap the benefits of my family who is and always has been so generous to us, thank you guys from our hearts for making Seth's Birthday Really Special!! We can always count on you!!

Us Being Sad at the "Happiest Place on Earth"
Yup we're being sarcastic


"You have reached your Destination"







It began on that sunny Saturday of May 9th, We we were so excited to get to continue the celebration of Seth's big 5th Birthday!!!I can't believe his first 5 years have already gone by!!...That day we got up kinda late , we anticipated being at Disney as soon as it opened at 8 am..But since we were 40 minutes away, Iliana burned her hand on my hair straightener and got a second degree burn we got to Disneyland at noon...But Disneyland closed at midnight so we still had a full 12 hour which was Plenty!!
They have no idea, what kind of fun they're about to have and see
"We're so Lucky"

Setting up, he's so excited with his Pirate ears!
Perfect to go With his Pirate Party


We're here!



Daddy was a kid again!!

We parked separate from the parking garage we parked at last time when we went 2 years ago with Seth..and my whole family, but it was alright cause the kids got to ride in an awesome bus..The kinds of buses I used to take field trips in as a kid in Cali cause everything was so far, we had decked out "greyhound type buses" Anyhow, when we reached the gate we already had our Tickets because my auntie and uncle bought our passes for us, so all we had to do was walk in, surprisingly we got to take in our cooler which has sandwiches, snacks and drinks my aunt packed for us (thanks auntie Almer) We still ate a little at Disneyland but it saved us when the kids got hungry in between! when we got inside, we rented a locker for $7 bucks (eek) but we got our rent-a-stroller for free..(shh..) so it worked out well... The first stop was Adventure land..(and a potty break) We got on the jungle boat ride first, there were no lines and the kids loved it cause there we're animals that looked real and hilarious antics throughout the swamp..like jumping piranhas (fake of course) Elephants taking a bath, and jungle people climbing a tree from a bear..too funny...Seth saw this last time, but this was the first time he remembers...The second stop was The Tarzan tree, which we were all new to, since last time we thought it was just a play place for kids, turns out it is also a beautiful view for us! We got down and played for a while and decided to move on to "The Pirates of the Caribbean" ride which was totally redone, meaning we missed it last time because last time it was the grand opening of the renovated ride and it was a 3 hour wait..boo..we we're pretty much already leaving by then...So This Time we decided that it was going to be one of our first rides there!

We decided to skip "Indiana Jones" Since none of our kids could go, and we felt bad "child swapping" on this ride since the kids would be in line for nothing..Plus, Nick and I rode it last time(yes, I was 2 months pregnant with Lailie) But it's just like a car ride..Anyway, in the Pirates of the Caribbean, Iliana held on to me so tight, it was her very first ride and Lailie's too.. It was dark and Iliana would have fell asleep if I was feeding her.. Lailie and Seth loved the scary silly pirates shooting their guns, drinking their booze and chasing after pirates...It was awesome to see the huge difference in animation! Jack Sparrow really looked like Johnny Depp! What an Awesome ride, It was so cool in there it was nice getting out of the sun and the kids were such troopers and came out excited for more!!....See the next post..Stick back for more!!


On the Pirates Ride (shh wasn't supposed to take flash photos oops)
