The Happiest Place on Earth

....is Toys R Us (not DisneyLand according to Tyler).  Well, we went to Disney and I'm pretty sure the kids had more fun than they do at the toy store.  Carol turned 60 this year and decided she wanted to take the kids to DisneyLand for her birthday, which is on Christmas.

Colin and I rode on this rollercoaster.  It was one of the few that he could ride at his height.  He had a lot of fun but it was so short and we waited 50 minutes to get on it.  When it was over Colin was asking me why it "wasn't a long time?"

Picture "with" Woody and Jesse. The line to get your picture actually taken with them was closed

This was in line for Dumbo.  I'm not sure what she thought the elephants were but she loved them and kept howling at them.  

Riding Dumbo.  Audrey loved this ride.  We waited FOREVER to get on it
