MEA Disneyland!!

We originally was going to do a staycation for MEA but decided on a quick trip to Disneyland.  Mama felt like it's been years since we were there and missed the fun you had when you were young.  Also, I wasn't sure if you were getting too old and worried about if you would like it.  Well, baba was right, you enjoyed Disneyland.  You experienced it differently but enjoyed it nonetheless.  We even broke the Pirate's ride for a little bit!  But, that wasn't really on us.  We sat in the first row and they only allowed three people but gave us an exception as Bradley was smaller.  However, as we moved along the ride, they stopped the boat and we all had to shift back a row.  Pretty funny but glad that safety comes first!  

Day one: Magic Kingdom- Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Indy Jones, Jungle Cruise, Swiss Robinson, Star Tours, AstroOrbiter, Matterhorn, Smugglers Cove, Droid factory

Day two:  Radiator Springs, Tow Mater, Spiderman, Tower of terror, Toy Story, Incredible Coaster, Ben and Baba hit up Smuggler, Rise at night

Day three: Matterhorn x2, Star Tours, Space Mountain, Buzz x2, AstroOrbiter, Pirates, Jungle Cruise, Radiator Springs, Spider man, Toy Story - Bradley gets 117,700, Smugglers Cove

Excellent choices 
Your brother liked the noodles in the noodle soup

Someone found big stitch!

 

Very pretty at night 

Last night, arms full of stuff 

Disney did not disappoint.  I can see why Disney says everyone can be a kid.  It's very true.  You were loving it as a big kid, going out at night with your baba and watching fireworks.   

Bradley was always on the lookout for Stitchy items for you.  We looked all over for the stitch popcorn bucket but they were all sold out.  Mama even called her friend Molly as Molly and her family were at WDW at the same time.  None at WDW.  

I love you so much Beni Berger!  You're such an awesome big brother and son.
