Disneyland 10/12

Zach and I surprised Asher and Cohen by taking them-just them- to Disneyland over fall break. We told them we were going on a "business trip" with Zach. While he was at "work" we would walk around and do our own thing.
The hotel we stayed at was directly across from the entrance. When we got there we walked to get some dinner and Asher saw the Disneyland sign and we played it off like it was a sign for the buses. Then he saw lots of Disney bags, and Asher said,"there must be a Disney store close by". I was thinking how many times can you lie to your kid?? Cohen was just happy to be there, he was oblivious to his surroundings.
The next morning we told them we were going on a walk before Zach went to work. As we were walking into Disneyland, Asher being very observant saw the garbage cans that said Disneyland and Jimmy Cricket on them was putting it all together. Finally, Zach handed them their Disney cards and we told them we were at Disneyland, they were in disbelief. They couldn't believe we were walking in. It took awhile for it to sink in, but they were so excited.
Mary and Ginger came to stay with Brooks and Gray.
It was such a fun trip. No strollers, naps, baby food. It was great. The park was crowded big time. More so than two years ago when we went. It was hot, but we still managed to have a blast. New favorite rides: Asher-California Screamin, Cohen-Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain. We went for 3 days. We learned more about what we would do differently next time. Always good to learn.
I can't wait to go again!! I just have to talk Zach into it.
