DISNEYLAND- "KIDS WIN!"

Paul took the boys to Disneyland! He invited Jeanette, Jake and cousin Dave.  There were 3 adults and 4 kids so the theme of the trip was, "Kids win!" because whenever there was a vote, adults were outvoted.

Teig was so excited he could ride all the rides except space mtn, splash mtn and matterhorn.  Robot yeti - it was awesome. I covered my eyes teh whole time. Space mountain had a ghost theme for Halloween and was pretty scary. Paul was a little worried about how he would like the bigger rides. He would look over at Teig at the end of the ride and ask how he liked it.  Teig would slowly lift his little head and in his little 5 year old voice he would yell, "Best ride ever!" (one time he said, "Dad covered my eyes the whole time.")

Paul loved that they left early Thursday morning from Portland and by 11 or 11:30 he was eating a turkey leg in Disneyland. He loved the seamless, stress free travel with the shuttle and close hotel. He loved the snacks left and right and how easy Disneyland makes it to focus on the kids because all the work is done for you.  He also loved the all-you-can-eat country western. He said the best part is when it starts to get dark.

Joren's favorite rides were California Screamin' and tower of terror. "I went on it and it was so crazy!" he said.  He also commented on three days of walking, "I learned a new type of pain.. Foot ache" 

Eirik's favorites were 1. space mtn, 2. soarin' over CA, 3. Matterhorn 4. Big Thunder 5. Splash Mountain.  He also commented that  he will NOT go on California screamin' or Tower of Terror.

Teig loved it all, but his very favorite was swimming with Dad.  On the way up to the hotel room, Teig said after riding the Tower of Terror earlier that day, "So this is what a normal elevator feels like."

Dave's favorite thing was the turkey leg which he carried around for a few hours. He took it on splash mountain and pretended to be eating it in the photo. 

Dave and Paul got stuck on CA screamin'! They had to be rescued and taken out the back exit.  They got two fast passes to Cars out of it though so they said it was worth it.
