This past Sunday... the last day before school started back up we visited our favorite place. Yep, you guessed it Disneyland!!!
We dragged poor Danielle along for all of the fun
Ella kept calling the rockets helicopters?? Not sure why.
The kids enjoyed the petting zoo. This guy was so soft.
Notice Ella's excitement in the background.
The boys think that they are too old to take photos sometimes. This makes me sad :(
Owen ate his first Mickey Ice Cream Bar... and I think he may have actually gotten more on his clothes and face than actually in his mouth.
Owen had another first. He was very brave and rode Tower of Terror for the first time. Then he rode it twice!!! (pretty good coming from a kid that used to say Dumbo was scary). He has grown up a lot this summer.
If you click on the picture below you should be able to see everyone on the right side of the ride. this was the second time we rode it.
Ella wanted this autograph book and pen... she was unsuccessful in her attempts to persuade me. Although, truth be told she was close
Papa, Nana & Emma met us there and we are fortunate enough to get to ride the rapids with us. Notice I didn't get to go... shoot (yes, I am being sarcastic)
And, then it was over. Back to school we go...
Owen started preschool again on Tuesday and he was so adorable. He is the super excited kid that asks a million questions while the teacher is trying to read her first day story. Owen is also so good at making friends he says hi to everyone. He also is very lucky and has a wonderful teacher this year too!!!
The first days were great, but what I was most excited about was Mikey took the shaggy boys to get haircuts. They actually ended up really happy... I think the long hair days were requiring too much effort with the early mornings.

Ella enjoyed dancing around with mom while we waited for the big kids to get off their rides.
