Disneyland 2007

We stayed at the Paradise Pier hotel... and the kids got room service for breakfast the first morning!

When we headed out to the park, we found a visitor in the hotel lobby!

The weather at the park was perfect, so we decided to take advantage of the awesome weather and do a little canoeing :)

And of course I had a chocolate covered Mickey head...

The kids visited Lightning McQueen...

And Riley had an awesome time doing the rope swing at the adventure area in California Adventure... last year he was *just* too short... but this year, watch out! He must have done this swing 50 times.

Then we rode the Ferris Wheel at sunset... awesome!

On Day 2 we had breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen! Goofy was so funny. He stole Riley's autograph book for awhile... haha

Then it was off to more rides... Violet loved the Orange Stinger (she and Riley called it the "Orange Peeler")

Then it was back to Disneyland where we waited for the Jedi Training Academy...

Riley panicked at the last second and decided since he already was a Jedi he didn't need to do the training academy again... so Violet went up there and HAD TO FIGHT DARTH MAUL!!!! She did it, and is now an official Jedi too...

We happened upon Mickey in the afternoon, and got to get a quick autograph without all the craziness and crowds around him...

And Riley convinced Rick to ride the Jellyfish with him!

Riley also loved riding the carousel...

While Violet and I rode California Screaming about six times!

Nothing like a churro after a hard day of playing...

And another chocolate covered Mickey head for good measure!

Meanwhile Matt showed us just.how.much cotton candy he can fit into his mouth at once.

and then we had Fun With Photography!

I love Disneyland at Christmastime!!!


We had a fantastic vacation... and these photos are just a tiny selection from the 300 or so I took! Such great memories... so much fun!
