The Magical World of Disneyland!

Brian has been trying to get us to go to Disneyland with his family again. I kept saying no. Just wasn't a good time. But then when I was with him in January for Maybrie's birthday he got to talking about Disneyland again and started looking at tickets. He was planning to take Olivia to celebrate hers and Henry's birthdays in February. I'm a sucker for his kindness is all I can say. I ended up talking to Jaime about it and we bought tickets that evening! 

Mom and Dad were visiting Brian that week that he wanted to go to Disneyland so he told them they were going to Disneyland! So Brian's family, my parents, and Olivia all drove from Vegas to California. Brian and Olivia came to the airport to pick up Jaime, me, and the boys. 

2-21-25

February 21st, she gets to celebrate her 19th birthday in Disneyland! She was so excited and so, so grateful to Brian and Summer for their generosity in giving her this gift. Her and Henry went to get their birthday pins as soon as we got in the park. Then we were off to have fun and celebrate the birthday kids. 

The first ride we hit up was Peter Pan. I'd been to Disneyland two times before finally ever getting on this ride. It truly is magical and the epitome of a theme park ride. I wanted Mom to go on it so bad. I knew she would love it, and she did!

Ready to spin in the tea cups. 

This how Jaime enjoys this ride. 😂 I sent the picture to his family. His dad said Jaime was smart. lol

Everyone else had a great time spinning!

Pictures in front to the castle. Summer went to take a nap and Brian took the picture. 

We wanted him in it. 

Then found someone to take one with all of us in it. 

I really enjoyed watching Maybrie and the boys together. They have a stronger friendship than I even realized until a couple years ago. I love it. 

Rise of the Resistance Star Wars ride is awesome. Seeing Dad's reaction to it was priceless. We went on this ride twice!

The Haunted Mansion is always fun. Olivia was in the car next to us and took this picture. Perfect timing to catch the stowaway in our car!

Lots of walking then enjoying some sitting on Jungle Cruise. 

Grandma bought Olivia some cute magnetic Disney pals!

In line to go on the new Mickey Mouse ride and saw a birthday cake!

The birthday kids with the birthday cake. 

I loved being able to share this time with mom and dad. Being able to see and be with Olivia again was probably one of my favorite parts. She was so happy the entire weekend. 

Bunch of suckers.

I love Galaxy's Edge (Star Wars Land).

No ride on the carousel? Lets go!!

Olivia, Tyler, Mom, Dad

Aidan and I sat in front of the others. 

We shut the park down staying till close! Disneyland with teenagers is so fun, less stressful, and easier than keeping track of little ones. And yet, their joy and laughter warms my heart just as much as it did when we came when they were all little kids and toddlers. We really missed having Lindsey with us. We also wished she and Isaac could have come because he has never been and so it would have been fun to experience his first visit to the park.
