Surprise Mother's Day trip to Disneyland

We were surprised on Easter by the Giving Grinch with a 3 day trip to California and Disneyland for Mother's Day. It was so nice to be able to go on a vacation with our little family and spend time making memories together. It was also so nice to have a vacation that I didn't have to do all the planning and financing for and that we could just go and enjoy our trip.

After we got off the airplane in Long Beach we stopped by Huntington Beach to play in the ocean and hear the peaceful waves. The girls were in heaven, even though it was pretty windy.

Jeff and Aubrie found lots of sand dollars near the pier. They were lucky to find them since sand dollars only have a certain season that they can be found.

Heading to our first day at Disneyland and so excited!

Jungle Cruise:

We wanted to make sure the girls got the chance to meet and get signatures and pictures from the Princesses and characters. We only had to wait about an hour to see Tinker Bell ;)

                                 

Space Mountain! Aubrie even rode on it but wasn't a big fan of it.

Princess Meet and Greet: (of course Brynnley fell asleep and missed meeting all the Princesses)

Storybook Land Ride:

Alice and Wonderland:

The girls favorite ride was Small World.....We rode it every day we were there and it was so cute to see and hear the girls singing the song.

Day 2 at Disneyland:

We got there early in the morning and took advantage of getting pictures with our Photo Pass without a ton of people in the park yet.

Minnie and Friends Breakfast:

The best part of the breakfast is the yummy french toast with banana caramel sauce....yum!

We played at California Adventure the 2nd day.

Monster Inc:

Day 3 at Disneyland was Mother's Day and the girls were excited to give me a flower they had for all the moms.

I love my little girls and couldn't have asked for a better time and place to be with them at this time!

Playing in Toon Town:

Brynnley was so excited to see Dad's huge turkey leg and her eyes got so big!

Dumbo: This was one of the first times I remember riding this ride since the wait is always so long!

Small world ride was a hit!

We got to sit (due to my disability pass) to watch the World of Color show which was awesome!
