The Harris Family takes on Disneyland


Our Spring Break vacation started with a trip to Salt Lake City for Hayden's last hockey tournament.  The ice rinks there were unbelievable.  They played on 2 different rinks that were used for the winter Olympics. So a lot bigger ice than what they were used to. But played so well as a team and won 2 out of 4 games.  We then left Utah and headed to Vegas. We spent the night at Circus Circus and the kids had a blast.  We took them to Fremont Street for the light show. It was a fun night and we didn't have any scary people incidents so all was good. We left the next morning for California.

We were able to keep our trip to Disneyland a surprise tell we arrived at  the  hotel.  They were so excited, almost as much as mom and dad.

These pretty flowers looked like birds with a Mohawk.
Our walk from out hotel to the tram was about 10 minutes.

The sun the sun get out of our eyes
I think he likes her
Brek did not approve of having to wait in line.
Splash mountain was a favorite to  all  except Brek, he refused to go on it again.  He was fine until a small amount of water seemed to find him and then he was done. 
All ready for Star Wars
Mom's favorite ear hat!!
Lets eat!!  Packing our lunch was worth it.  We didn't have to wait in a line and saved some cash in the process.

Brek was given a birthday button  from Disneyland to support his awesome day!

Open up!!  The kids loved going into the whales mouth on Story book land boat ride


Day 2 of  Disney can be exhausting!

Brek loved any ride that he thought he could drive


Can't wait in a line without a little sugar

We worried about having to split up and one of us take the little  ones and the other take Hayden. But we almost rode every ride as a family. Hayden was a good sport and went on all the kiddie rides with the kids and never complained. There was 2 rides that Brecken was not tall enough for, Matterhorn and Indiana Jones. And Addie was not tall enough for Indiana Jones as well. We are so glad we decided to go this year and the crowds were not too bad. Oh and for those of you who know how I am always losing my children and husband......none of us got lost the whole time we were there. And Phil's phone of coarse was out of commission. So I think we did awesome not losing one another in such a chaotic place


The kids all got to pick out a souvenir. Brek's of coarse was a bubble gun. And after 10 minutes of continuous blasting he was empty and angry!

Departing the fun train ride around Disney....check out Brek!

Hayden did not feel the love of having his photo taken very much with the fuzzy people.  Brecken and Addie however loved every chance they got.

Boys!!!

Addie and her favorite princess


The Finding Nemo ride was our longest wait of 45 minutes but so worth it.
Goofy with our 3 goofies

We rode the Monorail that circled the park

The only ride Addie did not like

Not happy about being to short for the Matterhorn ride!

Mr Toad's ride was a favorite.

And they did serve some Harris screams.

Some of the favorites:
Addison: Splash Mountain
Brecken: Buzz Lightyear
Hayden: Space Mountain
Phil: Matterhorn
Hollie: Indiana Jones
Loved by all: Parade and the Fireworks.  We could  watch the fireworks from our balcony at the hotel.
The final day at Disney ended with an uneaten dinner
