We took our journey to Mecca this last week. Disneyland! We've been planning and saving and wishing for this trip for months and I can't even believe it's over. We made a decision to only take Tobin on this trip. The twins are still too young to really know what Disneyland is and too small to even remember a trip like this in their long term memory. (We could always photoshop them into a few pictures if they are sensitive to it later.) But even more than that we really just wanted to spend some quality time with Tobin. He's five ....... already. He doesn't give Santa or fairies any more energy to even try to believe in. He told me matter of factly that, "everyone knows that fairies became extinct with the dinosaurs." Well than. He's growing up fast and we wanted to spend a few days with him being 5. In the mean time we all became kids again, yelling on roller coasters, being thrilled on Splash Mountain, defeating Vader, eating ice cream for breakfast, and waking though Main Street until they kicked us out at midnight. We had a blast and I just think my boy started to believe in fairies again. Especially if it means they all looked like this!
A few more pictures of our magical time.
A Disney tip: When you are debating on taking a one day trip away from the park to explore other attractions and your family can't decide between Legoland or Sea World and you really want to take a break from theme parks and have always dreamed of being a dolphin trainer (never mind that I can't swim. The dolphins swim for you right? Right?) but your five year old has been corupted by all his little pre-school buddies that he just HAS to go to Legoland. Solution: take hime to the Lego STORE in Downtown Disney and tell him that it's Legoland. He bought it and we didn't spend a dime. 
More to come....

I bet he was in heaven getting to fight the star wars guys!! And I love the Lego land lie...very creative!
How FUN! Looks like a great trip!
So was Matt totally jealous that Tobin got to go to battle with Darth Vadar?
Thanks for the window into your wonderful trip. I thought there were some really cute pictures in there!! I'm still hoping we can all go together some day. I'm already pumped to take Maisie (maybe because she asks every other day...:)
Success! So much fun! And Dylan cant believe Tobin is actually fighting!!!!
Looks like you guys had the best time. Did you have to wait a long time for Tobin to get picked to fight Darth Vader?
What FUN!!! Though...I don't think my kids would fall for the Lego Store thing...Uncle has already shown them video of Lego Land and all they are missing :)
Can't wait for more!!!!
My brother and his wife just got back from D-land too! Daniel liked the picture of Tinkerbell too. I really couldn't blame him.
Glad you had fun!
