The Forgetful Spuds' Photos

The kids were very excited to ride on the airplane. Anika doesn't remember her first airplane ride as a baby, so it was like it was the first time for both of them. Conlin kept making sure the wing was still there.

After the airplane, the kids were thrilled to ride a "school bus" the rest of the way to Disneyland.

Josh and I were excited to go to Rainforest Cafe since we went there on our honeymoon. The kids loved the thunder storms and the animals.

Bet you can't tell that the kids were thrilled with their first Mickey-shaped treat!

From the time we started planning our trip, the kids were both eager to ride the teacups. We thought the ride might fall short of their expectations. We were wrong. They absolutely loved the ride and rode it every day. Each time, they begged Josh to make it go faster.

This is our first family photo in Disneyland. It was great to have people willing to take pictures so that we could all be in them.

The fairies were amazing with staying in character and interacting with the kids. Tinker Bell asked who the kids' favorite fairy was. Anika replied, "Rosetta," but Conlin got a big grin on his face and said, "Tinker Bell." Guess he's already a ladies' man!

Conlin was thrilled to see Mater and McQueen. He thought it was cool that he was able to touch them.

The kids thought it was fun to ride on a carousel with water animals.

One of the nights we ate dinner in Ariel's Grotto. It was a fun meal in a fun setting.

This was the dessert we were served at Ariel's Grotto. I just had to share the picture because I've never been served dessert like this! There was so much we had it for 3 nights!

I'm not sure which of the kids was more excited about meeting the princesses!

While Josh and Anika were on a ride, Conlin and I ran into Woody. Conlin was very concerned that he also get a signature for his sister.

This is the ride that Anika did alone with Daddy since Conlin was too small. We weren't sure if she'd like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, but we figured there was only one way to know. She absolutely loved it! Josh said she giggled the entire time. When Conlin fell asleep, she even convinced me to take her on it again.

The kids had the chance to steer the steamboat and earn their captain certificates.

Josh had been looking forward to riding the Jungle Cruise. He loves the cheesy jokes the driver shares.

We took the kids to a character meal on our last night there. The character interactions were so much fun. Minnie sat on the floor and pulled the kids onto her lap. They thought that was pretty great. Then they got to dance with Pluto and Snow White!

The kids had never seen palm trees. This little one was right outside our motel room.

We promised to take the kids to Build-A-Bear in Downtown Disney. They had so much fun choosing their bears and dressing them. They slept with them each night. Here is Conlin and Billy waiting to ride the bus to the airport.

Anika even hired a "babysitter" to watch her bear while we were in the park. She would "call" her throughout the day to make sure that Sparkle Rose was doing okay.
