Happiest place on earth!


Last week we took Talon to Disneyland for his 4 year birthday.  Devin's birthday is just 3 day before Talon's so we were able to celebrate both of them on vacation.

For Talon 4 years old was the PERFECT age for Disneyland.  He was tall enough to ride all almost all the big rides and still small enough to enjoy the fun kiddie ones.  I swear that kid isn't afraid of anything! He loved Tower of tower, Space Mountain and Thunder Mountain and keeps asking when we can go back to Disneyland.

My mom met us at the airport in Salt Lake and then flew with us to CA.  It was so nice to have an extra set of hands and to let her sit next to Talon on one of the flights :)  I actually got to sit next to Devin.








I had to buy Talon an autograph book for him to take any character pictures.  He needed a purpose and then he was good with it.





Toy Story was one of my favorite rides!!  It's like you're in a video game and get to shoot all the targets and get points for everything you hit.  Plus it's in 4D!

After they got off Tower of terror they gave Talon a sticker that said "I took the dare"!!

Waiting for World of Color to start!  It was cool but a little long and we should have gotten there earlier for better seats!



One day 3 Talon woke up with one of his non - stop coughs and didn't feel great!  We bought him all sorts of cough medicine but of course nothing worked.  So by mid day he was camped out!  Devin and I took the opportunity to go on Indiana Jones which is one Talon's not tall enough for.  Once he woke up and my mom told him we were on a ride he couldn't go on he said "I know, lets go on a ride without them". 



I think this is the ice cream that got me sick but it was sure good!  I finished his ice cream cone and came down with a cold two days later!  Yuck!





We spent our last night at Downtown Disney where we had dinner at Rainforest Cafe and then took Talon to "Build your ride" where you get to pick out the body for your truck or car and then accessorize it.  I think Devin liked picking stuff out more than Talon.

Our last day in Cali we spent at Huntington Beach.

And Talon didn't stop running the whole time!!  He loves the beach and the water!

We also celebrated his 4 year birthday!  I can't believe I have a 4 year old already :)

We celebrated with a little cake that night and sang Happy Birthday!  It wouldn't be a true birthday without the birthday song and some cake right?
