Disneyland For Wes' Birthday

So we had scheduled our second visit to Disneyland with our two day pass for Wes' birthday.  It was a Monday and what I thought would be a good day to go.  Well, I was a bit wrong, it was a madhouse.  We went to go use our passes and they told us that they weren't valid!!  This has always been a fear of mine.   It was the last day to use the So. Cal Annual Pass for the summer and thus, all of So. Cal was there that day.  We pleaded our case that we never checked the blackout days (I had seen the days, just for some reason skipped over this one).  They were nice enough to allow us to upgrade the tickets for 20 dollars more each for the day.  Soooo much better than the $87 it costs to get into the park.  RELIEF.  With that came a park hopper as well so we got to experience the new Ariel ride we have been wanting to go on.  Anyways, enough about the getting in part, now on to the best part, the fun times.  We met my sister-in-law, her sister and my brother-in-law and their kids.  Such a fun experience for the kids to be able to have together.  The weather was beautiful I think it was like a high of 70 that day.  Even though the park was crowded, we just took our time and did some different things from last time we went.  Overall it was a great day and I have to say the kids did great.  We will be back next year as long as they do the two day pass again.  Avery had been begging to go back again. Let's hope soon.

Avert adores Ariel and this was a dream come true for her.  She was in awe.  They really do treat each kid so special.  What a sweet moment.

Finally, Cinderella.  Brook waited in line for us, 45 minutes so the kids could meet them.  So nice of her.  

Avery and Maeve, sweet cousins.  These two didn't want to ride the roller coaster so they opted for the play area instead

My super sweet nephew, Foss.  He was perfect all day!

Sesame Street Live

Wes got some free tickets to see Sesame Street Live from work.  So he took her on a daddy-daughter date,  so sweet.  She doesn't really watch Sesame Street anymore, but she still knows the characters and still had a blast.  Before the show they had a play area set up which is where these pictures came from.  So cute.
