Disneyland

Last week our very best friend's the Patten's were in town. They were going to Disneyland on Monday so we took Christian out of school and Dan took the day off so we bought Dan a pass and spent all day there. It was such a wonderful day. The kids all did amazing and we did things that we usually don't do. We got to ride the big kid rides since we could parent swap and their 15 year old nephew took the day off and he was so helpful. He took Christian and Noah (who is eleven) all morning long and they did all the big rides while we took the little kids on the rides they definitely didn't want to do. We ate in the park and let the kids buy souvenirs which we never do. Dan also made a double light saber which he has been wanting to do for a while. It was perfect weather and not to crowded. The last time we all hung out together we had three kids between us and now we have seven so it was so fun. The Patten's are the ones that introduced Dan and I so we love them so much and wish we lived closer to them. Ryan loved having Dan at Disneyland with us and wanted to ride every ride with him. He is definitely a Daddy's boy!Megan did so great, she took her naps and ate and was just completely happy all day!We saw the Fairies and the Princesses again something we don't ever do since the lines are usually way to long. Ryan loved them so much and just felt so comfortable with them. Megan was terrified so maybe we will have to do it more often so she will get over her fear!Ryan got a knight sword in the Princess store and had so much fun fighting everyone. One cast member was really nice to play with him., they stood there fighting each other for like 15 minutes while the rest of us finished shopping.We ended the night with the parade and the boys got picked to join in the fun. Christian was a little embarrassed at first but he ended up having a lot of fun with it.Thank you Patten's for such a wonderful day!
