Day 4: DISNEYLAND!!

Today was Nick's birthday and that meant Disneyland! We've decided to make it a tradition and take our kids to Disneyland ON their 5th birthday. Since 5 is an age that you seem to remember things we thought this would be so fun for our kids! So far it's been the best tradition ever! It's such a great deal this year because you get in free on your birthday (bonus for us since we were already planning it!) and since we had already bought a 3 day pass, we actually got a gift card for the price of admission to spend on whatever we wanted! On your birthday at Disneyland they give you a pin saying it's your birthday and make such a big deal out of you-every employee says Happy Birthday and you get special attention. It's so fun! Since it was Nick's day we let him be in charge of everything we did. So we headed straight to Tommorrowland and hit Buzz Lightyear and then made it to all the super cool stuff there including Space Mountain which my super brave 5 year old did not particularly like. The best part of the day was when Nick and Skylar both got selected to go on stage at the Jedi Training Academy. We are all super nerdy Star Wars fans so this was so awesome! Nick was lucky to get to be right on stage next to the main Jedi and he was so cute and little but so brave! He totally kicked Darth Vader's butt! Skylar did the same and they were so proud of themselves! It was great!















Later on we headed to Toontown to meet the mice and such and also got in most of the major rides at the park. The only downside was the immense record breaking heat of 100 degrees! We were melting! But the heat did not get us down and we had a great day! We stayed up until closing and loved every minute of it!
