Teune Family Disney Vacay

My incredibly, generous parents treated us to a trip to Disneyland and California Adventure with them at the beginning of September. I was reunited with my brother in Disneyland for a day and surprised by my sister who lives in Michigan! It was a fun time had by all, though exhausting while caring for young kiddos. Alexis wasn't too sure about many of the rides but did end up riding the carousels if she was seated on the bench and not a horse. She fell in love with Ariel from the Little Mermaid (who she previously knew nothing about until going on the ride) and she got to meet Anna and Elsa from Frozen, which I think was the highlight of her trip. Her favorite ride however, was the tram that took us to and from the parks!

 

 The Adams kids reunited!

  I think MY favorite part of the trip was having Greg with us for 24hs a day for five days in a row!

 See, the picture speaks for itself, I was RIDICULOUSLY happy to spend so much time with my favorite guy!

 

On her favorite ride, the tram!

 

 

Alexis and Macie had a blast together!!!

 The Parade at Disneyland this season was the Soundsational Parade. The Frozen characters came out first and this was how Lexi reacted...

 Frozen was the first movie that she ever watched from beginning to end. She learned the characters names early on and would request the movie by saying, "Anna? Elsa?" and she loves singing the songs from the movie. I think that movie will always hold a dear place in my heart as I reflect on the toddler years with my precious girl. Greg, my dad, and I got to the park very early on our last day and ran speed walked to the line for reservation tickets to meet Anna and Elsa.

I think the girls were both nervous, but they didn't cry and were so excited before and after meeting Anna and Elsa.

 Hanging out in Minnie Mouse's house. They both hopped up on her bed and pretended to snore.

It was such a fun trip. But Greg and I both said there is NO WAY we would have taken our kids to Disney on our own! The help from my parents, Brittney, and Tyler for the day he was there made a huge difference. And if any of you are planning a Disney trip, the week or two after Labor Day is a great time to go. Crowds were very minimal, although it is still quite warm in early September.
