We got to meet Mater and Lightning McQueen. 
Sara, Jill, Sammie, Ben, Tyler, Amy, Cheyenne, Ryan and Nicole take cover in a torrential down pour. Thank goodness Craig went and bought up ponchos. Thanks Craig. 
But the rain didn't stop us for enjoying Disneyland. We even went on the water rides. We might as well, we were already drenched, right? 
Amy, Ben and Christian went on the lady bug ride in Bugs life. Gosh, that made me so sick. 
Ryan and Christian waiting in line for the Buzz Lightyear ride. Christian loved watching Buzz talk to them. 
Christian, Cheyenne, and Sammie taking a break on Minnie's couch.
Cruella Da Ville was so funny. She wanted the kids to show their scary faces because she is so scary. Cheyenne, Christian, Nicole, Sara, Tyler, Sammie, Jill and Ben have some scary faces, that is for sure.
We love Jasmin and Aladdin. 
We love seeing the castle all lit up inside. This year was so cool. We got to go inside the castle. They have the story of Sleeping Beauty in windows and doors that you look through. We got to go in for a surprise for Jill's birthday.
We have one tired boy. We tired him right out.
Nicole, Jill, Tyler, Craig, Ben, Sara, Sammie, Cheyenne, and Christian wait for the Nemo ride to begin. 
Ryan and Amy say Cheese.
What cute little fairies we have. Ben, Cheyenne, Nicole, Samantha, and Sara
Amy, Cheyenne, Tinkerbell, and Sammie in Fairy Hallow. We loved seeing the new Fairy Hallow.
So we went to Denny's for Breakfast. We are glad that there is Denny's. Cheyenne is so picky that all she eats every morning was sausage and grapes. She is a cold cereal type of gal!!! Ben, Tyler, Christian, and Cheyenne waiting for everyone to get done eating. 
Sammie and Sara say "Cheese"!!!
Today was Jill's 33rd birthday. Happy Birthday Jill. Craig surprised her with cupcakes and had the waitress bring them out with candles and then we sang happy birthday to her. 
Here we are waiting in line. Doesn't Christian look like he is at the "happiest place on earth"? 
It was so fun seeing everything decorated for Halloween. We loved this Mickey pumpkin head. 
Ryan, Christian and Tyler on the Peter Pan ride. That was our first ride we went on. This is one of our classic favorite rides!!!
You can fly, you can fly, you can fly, Sara and Sammie!
Amy and Cheyenne waiting to go fly with Peter Pan.
This is also one of our favorite rides. The first time we took Sammie to Disneyland, this was a ride we were on all of the time. We rode it about 5 times a day at minimum. Sara, Christian and Ryan are ready to go.
Smile for me Sammie and Cheyenne. I rode with Ben on this ride. I had to bribe him with a sucker if he would go one this ride with me. He went very willingly and had so much fun. This was also a favorite for Ben.
Sammie, Ryan, Christian, and Tyler on a storybook ride. This was so exciting!!!
Cheyenne, Amy, and Nicole huddled together to try and stay warm and dry. It started to sprinkle on us. 
Let's just say Ben had a hard time with rides, poor kid. He would cry if we went on the Merry go round or on the Mattahorn. He was a brave kid and tried all the rides at least one time. Good job Ben!!!
On October 3rd, we drove the whole way to Disneyland. The kids did so well, I was so glad. Once we got to our hotel and settled in. We went to Down Town Disney. We went and ate at the Jazz Kitchen (I think that is what it is called). WE had chicken and french fries. It was good!!!
Then we went and looked at the shops. Christian loved the Lego store. He especially loved the Darth Vader. This is what he is going to be for Halloween. 
Howdy, Sammie and Cheyenne. Woody tips his hat to them. We loved the big statues of the characters and animals. We can't wait to go to Disneyland tomorrow!!!
Sammie had her family party on her actual birthday; Sept. 26th. She got a jewlery holder from her Aunt Jill and Uncle Craig and family. 
A boombox from her Grandma Dixie and Grandpa Jerry. (Cheyenne accidently broke her other one. )
A Wiggle Car from Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Grant
And we gave her some Zhu Zhu pet stuff and a craft kit that she wanted. 
Peyton and Cheyenne had so much fun riding on the wiggle car. 
Peyton wouldn't get off of the car all night long. Sammie waited patiently to have a turn. What a good big sister!!! Happy birthday Sammie. We love you.
