I am not going to give a day-by-day rundown but rather I will use the pictures to tell some stories. It was a great vacation and I enjoyed spending time with my family. 
This was day 2. We forgot the camera on day 1. This was at Cali. Adventure. We had lunch on the Pier. I LOVE the soup w/bread bowls. The kids fed most of their lunch to the birds. 
Tyson was determined to get the sword out. I had to break it to him that he was not King Arthur. Sad moment.
Goofy guys. Good place to be Goofy I guess :)
The ever so informative Jungle Cruise. The kids love it.

Dang, I am white.
LEGO LAND! Guess who wanted to go here? This was before we entered the park. There is a full size family getting out of the car ready to head into the park. The mom is on the other side of the vehicle. The kids thought it was awesome. So did I.
There is a place called Miniland inside the park. We spent at least an hour just looking at all the cities. AMAZING! Tyson's dream job! They are building a Star Wars Land. It will be done in the summer. We were pretty sad that we came too early for it. We took tons of pictures of the different places but I didn't want to put all of them on. Here's the White House and New York!
Just thought this one was cute. We went on lots of fun rides. It's not Disneyland, but it sure is a LOT less crowded! Thank heavens! AND people wear clothes at this park. Another bonus! We let the kids buy toys at the end. I was REALLY mad at myself over that one. I had purchased 3, $50 gift cards.....one for each child.....and left them at the hotel! We had promised the kids they could buy something, so we still let them, but now I have $150 in gift cards to Legoland. POINTLESS!
Brayden with his toy......he fell asleep fast!
We went to a Character Breakfast. If you have never been to one.....GO! They are so fun and it is nearly impossible to see the characters in the park given the long lines! The kids had a blast meeting so many characters, eating a very calorie filled meal, and playing with each other!
What can I say? He's just dang cute!
In Bug's Life Land, there is a water area for the kids. They were pretty soacked by the end of this. In fact, Bray didn't wear pants the rest of the day. We ran out of regular diapers so he had to wear a swim diaper. When we got to the tram that took us back to the car, I was holding Bray and he peed through the swim diaper onto me, my jacket, and Mike's jacket. He felt so bad. Mike ended up doing a run to the Laundry Mat.
The was the cruise. We didn't see any whales, but we saw plenty of dolphins and sea lions. It was a lot of fun. We were on a boat with a school group. That was slightly annoying, but not too bad. The kids enjoyed running up the ladder to the top deck. We didn't see Anna, Ty, and Alex most of the trip. We had to keep a close eye on Darek and Brayden. They were all over the place (until Bray fell asleep).
After the Cruise, we ate lunch on a pier. I must say, not the most enjoyable lunch of my life. It was really windy which made it cold, there were no tables inside, so we had to eat outside with all the fisherman. It smelled a lot like gutted fish. Blah. But, it was fun being with everyone.
We swore we wouldn't let the kids in the sand. The picture above shows how well that plan went. They didn't get in the water though. I was not about to have freezing cold kids covered in sand. There was a funny moment though. We told Ty not to go near the water. He doesn't listen....never has (I really don't know why I keep trying). Anyway, there was this sort of joke- when we asked Tyson to do something people would start counting down to when he would do the opposite thing that we asked. Usually by the time the countdown was over he finally obeyed. This time, we asked him not to go near the water and Chad and Beth started the countdown. Man, that kid just kept going. I thought we were all going to pee our pants. Right when Chad was ending the countdown, Ty went over this little hill and it totally looked like he went right into the water. Later we discovered he didn't get wet, but man it was funny.
Ty found a crab instead. Lucky for us we found another boy to "keep it safe" when we left.
Kids are cute.....especially when they are all best friends. Ty and Alex were joined at the hip every time our families were together. When they weren't together, Tyson was in a bad mood.
Beth, her baby (Gryn), and Mandi. My little sisters :)
Cute Darek and Brayden sliding together. They are adorable together. They would wait for each other at the top of the slide and go down together. Keeping up with those two is a challenge. They just kept moving. Luckily we had strollers or they would still be in Disneyland.
Anna begged the whole time to go on the Monorail. One of our last rides was on this beauty. It was fun and relaxing!

I didn't get pictures of the last event, but we all watched the fireworks from a restaurant. It was amazing!!!! We watched Tinkerbell fly across the sky and fireworks popped up from everywhere. Thanks to Mom and Dad for a very memorable trip. We loved spending time with you and everyone else! Brayden won't stop talking about it. I guess we'll have to go again :)
