Disneyland... from the eyes of a 1 and 3 year-old!

Adam and I had been to Disneyland just this past August, when we went to Southern California for my friend's wedding. We had a lot of fun and went on every ride and roller coaster imaginable. So we were ready to do Disneyland the little kid way now... and it was amazing to see this magical place light up the eyes of Jacob and Gavin.

Jacob was super excited as soon as he heard we were going to Disneyland. I don't know how he even knew what Disneyland was, but somehow HE KNEW! I always say, "It's so exciting!!" about everything we do. So he kept grinning and shrieking, "Disneyland! It's so exciting!" Sometimes we would even shriek it together. Of course, it all began with Daddy's airplane. That was exciting enough in itself! Adam was super proud to tell Jacob all about his airplane and show him around. ;) The whole first experience with stand-by went more smoothly than I ever could have hoped. We got seats all-together, even one for little Gavin right by the window! The boys were really good on the flight and we were in Anaheim before we knew it. After taking a taxi to our hotel, we immediately went for a walk and pointed out all of the fun Disneyland banners and stores to Jacob. Adam and I found this pizza joint that we LOVED back in August, so we took the boys there for dinner. Jacob was so thrilled to be there and we hadn't even gone to Disneyland yet! :) i forgot my swim suit accidently, so we stopped at an ABC store to pick one out. Then Adam and I raced the strollers back to the hotel and we all went swimming. I think Gavin might be a swimmer like me... he LOVED it in the kiddie pool! He would crawl until the water went over his mouth and then I would have to save him. Shrieking and splashing, we played until it was time for bed. At the ABC store earlier, we picked up a toothbrush for Jacob that he immediately became attached to and called Smiley. This is significant because he never gets attached to anything! Not a binky, blanket, stuffed animal, anything. But he wanted to sleep with Smiley and talked our ears off about going to Disneyland for the next hour or so. Does he talk that much to himself before he goes to bed?!!
