Cam and I are SO GLAD TO BE BACK HOME!!!
Have we honestly spoiled the kids to the point that we have to drag them kicking and screaming to the happiest place on the earth?
We spent three days at Disneyland and two days in San Diego for our vacation this past week.
All the kids wanted to do was watch TV or swim in the pool. It was a bit frustrating.
Disneyland and the parents always win in the end.
We always start on the train and head round to Fantasyland. It was blissfully un-busy for Disneyland and we really got a lot of rides ticked off on our to-do list.
Sadly, Ella got sick our first night and after a rough night and morning, Cam took the boys to the California Adventure park. After lunch Ella was feeling more herself and the five of us went back together.
After two vacations of trying, Dane was finally chosen as a padowan for the Jedi Training Academy. I may have been more excited than Dane.
After training, he helped defeat Darth Maul.
Bryce loved meeting the characters. Here he is with the bears from Brother Bear. 
My own Buzz and Woody.
Bryce and I got to meet Mickey. VERY cool!
Ella eating a cool Mickey ice cream sandwich.
That night we saw the must-see show Disney's World of Color. If you've heard that it is amazing, believe it! Wow! We all loved it.
The next morning, Ella was sick again and so Cam stayed in with her while I went with the boys.
We went on Dane's favorite ride Grizzly River Rapids twice (Dane's total was four times). Bryce dug it as well.
Bryce's favorite ride, however, was Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. That's Cam in the red shirt with Bryce right next to him. We went three times in a row. (Thankfully, Ella was able to finish this day out with us, back to her normal self).
After Anaheim, we headed down to San Diego where we spent our honeymoon. 
Inside the visitors' center we were tried on a replica of 16th century Spanish head gear. The chainmail weighed seven pounds alone.
The tidal pool area closed before the tide went out completely, but we still got some good beach time before the tsunami hit the next morning.
We visited the San Diego Zoo the day before we started our return journey.
The big display on elephants and prehistoric/extinct North American animals was a favorite of ours.
Dane has become such a ham when it comes to getting his picture taken. Here he's being crushed by an elephantine sculpture.
We loved seeing the polar bear exhibit
and I loved the panda exhibit because someone else was telling my kids to be quiet. You had to be quiet to enter this area.
Family trips are always an adventure, that's certain.Thanks for reading about our trip.
and Prince Eric.
We're home, but I have 417 photos and video clips to go through before I'm going to post about our vacation. It was a fabulous trip and was around 82 degrees F the whole time. Aaaahhhh...
