Family vacation to Legoland/Disneyland

On December 11th, we took a much needed vacation. We left for Legoland and Disneyland in California. After an early morning flight from Portland

they were eating lunch in the park by mid-day.

Lego's have become a major part of this past year's entertainment, and the kids were anxious to explore the many amazing creations.







The rides at Lego land are geared towards the younger crowd (e.g. 8 an under), so our two boys found many options to choose from.







The favorite rides were the roller coasters, the "Coastersaurus" and Technic Project X.

Brayden rode Technic at least 3 times.



We then took a day to rest and drove up to Anaheim to visit Disneyland.



Brayden's favorite rides were Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Noah loved the Pixar parade.


We stayed up late one night, braved the crowds to see the new World of Color show


We were able to enjoy the Christmas decorations that Disney does this time of year. The "It's a Small World" ride was another one of the favorites. Didn't realize it goes through a conversion each year for Christmas time, and they change the song to sing Christmas carols. Heres a video, I apologize in advance if the tune get's stuck in your head :(




Overall, it was just nice to spend time together again, doing normal family type stuff.
