A Day at Disneyland!

Family photo. Jace fully believes that this was the "real" Mickey Mouse.
He thought it was hilarious how Pluto crouched down with us.
Jace has no clue who Pinoochio is. But hey, it's a disney character and that's cool enough for him!
Okay, this picture looks strange, I know. Jace is actually behind goofy, not beneath his hand. Someone else got a better shot, but not with my camera. Oh well.

So, I've posted a lot of pictures of our fun day at Disneyland. The story behind this trip is that Jace has had a habit that we particularly wanted to help him break. So after trying a few other things that didn't work, we presented him to opportunity to go to Disneyland after he earned 100 tickets, one for each successful time. Jace has been working hard for 3 months and earned every ticket. Good job Jace! Nick was able to take the day off to come with us, of course. We also had some extended family who were going the same week. So it worked out well for all of us to go together. We don't have any plans to go back to Disneyland for a while, but are looking forward to the next possible trip, maybe when Ella is a little older!

On the 1st ride, the kids had to help Buzz Light Year shoot the bad guys. I had to chuckle, as I wondered what they were thinking about this.
Do I want to be on this ride?
In the end, Jace loved it, and was so excited to tell Grandma all about it.

I like "It's a Small World!"

Now, which one of us is going to drive Mickey's car first?
Having fun playing in Goofy's yard.
Ella loves any slide.

The whole crew... My Dad's cousin Jay, his wife Linda, their kids, my Mom, brother Tom, & us.

Getting a little crazy and sick on the spinning lady bugs at California adventure.

JoJo's Circus and Skeebo, for any Playhouse Disney lovers- (my kids...)

Right before they were both asleep...

A Day at Disneyland... Ella dancing

At California Adventure, we went to the Playhouse Disney, Live show. Ella was dancing almost the whole time. She really got into it!

In addition to our day at disneyland, a few other random pics...

Yes, I post lots of pitures of Ella riding her bike. She LOVES her bike.
That's right. You go girl! We're lovin' your bedtime hair!
Jace hiding because I wanted to take a pic of his reaction to Ella's crazy hair.
No longer hiding. Funny, Jace
