Disneyland!!!

AJ's present, party and celebration this year was a surprise trip to Disneyland. At least it was a surprise up until about a week before. Then I spilled the beans. 

His birthday started out with his birthday breakfast while he got a call from Mickey and Goofy. Although he doesn't looked too impressed here, he thought it was pretty cool.

After school that day we were on our way. We arrived in CA at about 10 that night. Charlie was up and ready to go and did not end up falling asleep until about 1 AM. 

 The menfolk had to check the maps and come up with a plan.

We decided to start with the Jungle Adventure, and work our way to Tomorrow Land. It was a fun day right up until Charlie had a complete an utter meltdown and Shawn had to take him back to the hotel. AJ and I stayed for a bit and then walked back ourselves.

The second day went much better. We had gotten the lay of the land and knew exactly what we wanted to do. Charlie actually slept at night and was in a good mood. We also found some spots where he could get out of the stroller and walk around. That seemed to improve his mood immensely. 

AJ and Shawn rode on a ton of rides, we went to the petting zoo, saw some characters, bought some loot and all in all had a great time.
