Disneyland, We're going to Disneyland!

For Da Boys birthday, we decided to take them on a 'surprise birthday adventure' in lieu of a party. Without telling them where they were going, we packed them in the van, and drove to our destination... and parked in the parking structure... and boarded the tram. Where the conductor called out over the loudspeaker, 'Welcome to Disneyland'. Casey heard that, and excitedly exclaimed, 'Disneyland, We're going to Disneyland!'

Well, California Adventure, but close enough. We started out split up, because Sydney missed the height requirement by ohhh so little... Sorry little buddy, next time though... We hit all the highlights; Grizzly River Run, Radiator Springs, Soaring Over California, Monsters Inc, Toy Story, Bug's Life and the merry-go-round. When asked, Casey said his favorites were Soaring Over California, and Radiator Springs Racers. He admitted he was a little scared during both rides, but he enjoyed them nonetheless. When we deplaned after Soaring Over California, he looked at me and said, 'That was awesome!!!' As for me, I enjoyed the rides, but I focused most my attention on Da Boys faces... Casey's face betrayed his claim that he was 'a little bit scared'... More like scared sh1tless... On the Cars ride, he snuggled up against me, and he was shaking. As seen in the photo below, during the Grizzly River Run, he was snuggled up against me, a little scared.. Little Sydney was especially scared on rides that have a lot of rotational momentum. While spinning on Mater's Crazy Tractors and the Ladybugs, he chose to put his head in my lap and NOT LOOK. By far, Syndey's favorite was the merry-go-round. Immediately upon dismounting, he wanted to 'Go Again!'
