Four Generations

Disneyland; the SCARIEST place on earth!

The main purpose for our trip was to take Logan to Disneyland! We left Katie at home because we thought she was much too little to enjoy the rides and understand the concept of waiting in line. Little did we know that maybe we should have left Logan at home too!

First ride of the day - Jungle Cruise. Mom and I thought we'd start of with something slow pace and very tame. Something that at the end of the day, after riding all the other rides, would seem lame.

From the very start Logan wasn't 100% sure if he liked it or not. He didn't understand that the animals weren't real and that we weren't in any real danger.

"Get me out of here Grandma!"

Then, then I don't know what mom and I were thinking... I think maybe it was our past way of thinking - where we methodically wanted to do the rides in order. So the very next ride we did was next door... Pirates of the Caribbean. NOT a good idea. You remember the ride as a slow boat ride with a lot of pirates singing "Yoho Yoho a Pirate's life for me!" You DON'T remember
all the skeletons, lighting and sinister voices that would TERRIFY a 3 year old.

From that point on we let Logan decide where we were going and what we were going to do. (Well, kind of... if it were up to Logan we would have headed back to the pool to go swimming. But we payed $84 each and thankfully the "pool was closed" for the day. wink wink nudge nudge)

We did manage to convince Logan to go on a train ride before heading straight to fantasy land.... we may have forgot to mention to him that this train was Thunder Mountain.

Despite how worried he might look in the next picture, it actually went pretty well.

But the Mad Hatter's tea cups were more his pace.

And we found Nemo... he liked that... sort of.

He LOVED driving the cars... mommy on the other hand has been on smoother rides!

Then we waited an hour in the BLAZING hot sun to meet Rapunzel and Flynn from Logan's new favorite movie Tangled.

Logan's favorite part of Disney was when we sat down to rest and have something to eat.

He also loved the spray fan grandma bought him to keep cool and distracted in long lines.

And we ended off our Disney rides with what we thought Logan would LOVE, Buzz Lightyear!! However, the giant Zurg at the beginning made him HATE the ride.

So we thought we'd take it easy and sit on the curb and wait for the parade to start... again, in the BLAZING hot sun.

And then the parade started..... and in typical Logan fashion, Logan freaked out.

So, we went back to the hotel for a well needed swim break. Luckily the pool was "open" again when we got back. But, after a 2 hour swim, it was back to tormenting Logan with a trip back to Disney for the fireworks. Want to guess if Logan liked them?

Logan LOVED them! But even more so, he loved the sword grandma bought him so he could fight off any mascots that tried to come near him.

At the end of the trip we asked Logan if he wanted to go back to Disney ever again, to which he answered, "Ummm... maybe when I'm 86 or 87."

The perks of working for an airline

This post is WELL over due. Several weeks ago my mom, Logan and I went to Anaheim last minute. Oh the perks of working for an airline! Logan was very excited and could hardly wait to get on the plane!

Lunch at the Cheesecake Factory - of course!

Logan's FAVORITE part of our trip -the POOL! We stayed at the Ramada Main Gate - directly across from the entrance to Disneyland. We had stayed here almost 3 years ago when we came for my parents 25th wedding anniversary. However, in those three years the hotel renovated the pool. They added water canons and all sorts of other fun spray things!

Swimming is tough work! Vegging out after a long, HOT day at the pool.
