Disneyland 2015

Our family had a blast in Disneyland last week... I mean they call it the happiest place on earth for a reason. We surprised Hudson with the trip for his third birthday and he's been obsessed with Micky and friends  since we returned. His favorites were meeting and getting his picture taken with the characters and the penny smashers (imprints are left on the penny) with the Mater ride and parades close behind. Both kids were troopers the three days we spent at the parks and had only a few meltdowns, even with the long days. We already can't wait to go back!  

Meeting Micky at the Surf's Up characters breakfast. 

Dancing with Stitch

Harper met Daisy and wasn't quite sure what to think

Love them

Penny smasher number one and he was hooked

He loved Minnie but was shy too!

Dumbo with Daddy

He is the cutest!

Chip and Dale dressed up for Halloween

By day two, he was asking me to take pictures of him with every character we saw... his face would light up with each meeting.

Barefoot babe with chubby knees

While taking this picture, Harper drew the attention of many people passing by... such a ham!

Buzz Lightyear ride

Halloween decorations were awesome... the Halloween party was so fun and trick or treating at almost every ride left you with boat loads of candy. Unfortunately Hudson didn't want to wear his costume but still had a great time.

What the end of busy and fun day looked like.. our walk back to the hotel was less then 15 minutes thankfully.

Balloon hat made during breakfast at the hotel

Mater's Junkyard Jamboree ride... he went on this at least three times :)

Radiator Springs in Cars Land was so cool... Of course he had to get a picture with Red

First time this guy wore the Ergo and he liked it. :)

Mickey's Fun Wheel.. both kids loved this crazy high ferris wheel

Woody!

These Army men had the kids in the crowd promising to listen and behave for their parents...  On his own, Hudson raised his hand and followed along with the pledge. It was really cute!

Lighting McQueen!

Walking down the street with Mater

Bugs Land was great for Hudson, he had a blast riding these over and over when the lines weren't too long.

She enjoyed the rides too

The best I could get of them both with their Mickey hats on (Hudsons is from his trip to DisneyWorld when he was 4 months old)
