Disneyland-The Happiest Place on Earth

Sitting on Dumbo Garrett Jr. Annabelle, McKay, and Logan
Our first day at Disneyland was full of fun and excitement. We went on some awesome rides. Finding Nemo submarine, Dumbo, Indiana Jones Adventure, Jungle Cruise, Mad Tea Party, Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain(Garrett Jr. and Jordan went on that twice), Matterhorn, Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain. And Splash Mountain broke down right after Greg and Mckay went down the 50ft drop. They had to wait for the Disney workers to come and get them off of the ride! Everyone was dripping wet after that ride.
Grandma Marlynn bought the kids an autograph book to have the Disney Characters sign.
We are going to California Adventure and Disneyland tomorrow.

Grandma Mary with 6 of her Great Grandchildren

Before we headed out for Disneyland we had a great Sunday at Grandma Mary's.
Jim, Jean, Bob, Marlynn, Jordan, Christa, Annabelle, Logan, and Garrett Jr. arrived at Mary's for one of Chef Jim's breakfast specials! He didn't let us down again.
Greg, Wendy, McKay, James, and Owen arrived in the afternoon and we had a late lunch.
Everyone had a great time.
Mary seemed excited to have so many little people there. As you can tell from the fun picture.
