It's official. The Carter Family Adventure Team loves Disneyland and California Adventure!! The boys were excited as soon as we got on the parking lot tram. Once inside, we stopped off at the Tiki Room on our way to lunch. Cole was in awe. He loved all of the singing birds and tikis, but the thunder scared him a bit. We had lunch at Club 33 and the kids loved ringing the secret doorbell and riding the "magic" elevator. Drew ate tons of crab legs and they served us all a fabulous chocolate dessert in honor of our birthdays. They even gave Drew one so he wouldn't feel left out. When Noah blew out his candle he said, "I wish for big robot friends". How cute is that?! The boys and I had stickers on announcing our birthday so we were given royal treatment everywhere we went. The boys were so well behaved and happy. We rode lots of rides and went to Turtle Talk with Crush. Noah's favorite rides were Buzz Lightyear, the carousel and Gadget Roller Coaster. Colie loved Small World, Bugs Life Bumper Cars and the flying Rockets. We ate corndogs, french fries and churros as we wandered the parks. In the evening we put a blanket down on the street and waited for the fireworks to begin. It was stunning! I have never seen a fireworks display like this one they have going for the 50th anniversary. It actually brought tears to our eyes. OK, I admit it! I had tears streaming down my cheeks. If you go to Disneyland any time soon, be sure to see the fireworks and position yourself so that you get a good view of the castle. That is very important! You won't be disappointed. So many times during the day I remembered being a little kid and visiting the park with my family (usually when relatives were here from Iowa). It was wonderful to relive the innocence and magic of Disneyland with my children. It was the perfect day!!

sounds like you had a great day! :)
What fun! When I was little we lived across the street from Knott's Berry Farm - you're right, we only visited Disneyland when people visited from out of town. For me, it is the happiest place on Earth :)
I'm so glad you had fun!! We Love D-Land too... it's a-w-e-s-o-m-e.... :o)
Thanks for the wonderful chat the other day at Starbucks!!
Brooke

Looks like y'all had a blast. Isn't it funny how something like fireworks can bring tears of pure joy to our eyes? Later you realize it's not just the fireworks, but the people who enjoy them with you, by your side and in your thoughts.
