We left for California on Sunday the 12th. Lucas had no idea where we were going and so it was fun to get there and surprise him! The first day started out rough though as you can tell from this picture. Lucas was not very happy which I didn't think would be possible at Disneyland. Ty also had a rough day. He cried a lot--I think he wanted his own bed.
But we did have lots of fun on the rides. Here is Bryan on one of the rides in California Adventure. Lucas is sitting by him but is hidden.
We got to go because Bryan was invited to speak at a conference. All we had to pay for was food and Disney passes. It was a great opportunity. Lucas loved to meet Mickey Mouse. His favorite rides were Soarin Over California and Splash Mountain. Bryan and I loved the roller coaster in California Adventure.
At Disney they have something called Jedi Training. There is a platform they have made just for this and they do shows four or five times a day. We had seen it and KNEW that Lucas would never get picked. You show up and hope they choose your child to go up (out of a ton of kids). Bryan was at the conference this day giving his speech and I decided to go by one more time since they were just starting it over again. I started to say a prayer that he would get picked and then knew I couldn't because every parent wanted their child to get picked. Instead I prayed that I would know how to comfort him when he didn't get picked--right then I hear "Kid with the striped shirt and khaki shorts come up.
He got to go through the Jedi Training which is a fun little time where they teach them to use their lightsabers, then Darth Vader and Darth Maul came out. Each of the kids gets to fight one of them and Lucas got to fight Darth Vader. It was so cool. I only wish that Bryan could have been there to see it! This was such a great opportunity for us to go and have a little family vacation. Thanks to Bryan and his great speaking abilities!! He does three or four of these every year and this year we really lucked out on where he was invited. Thanks Bryan!

Is there anything greater than Disneyland? I am glad you all had such a great time. Tell Lucas that when someone fights with Darth Vader only one comes out alive so he must be awesome with a light saber!
Oh my-Julio would go crazy for the Jedi training! That's so cool Lucas got to do it.
You are brave going there with your baby! The whole time I was there last month I was thinking, "how could we come here withou Pedro?".
Sounds like you had a great time! Even with TY! I don't know if I would have done it. It is great that lucas got to do the jedi training, he is by far more qualified!
I am so glad that Lucas got to do Jedi training. How cool is that. You have great pictures of your cute family!
I wonder if we were there at the same time...we went on the 14th and 15th. McKay would have loved the Jedi training. That is so fun!Your little Ty looks just like Lucas I think. You can definately tell they are brothers and sons of Bryan!
Wow we just missed you, we left CA on the 12th after being there for 9 days! Glad you had fun and the jedi training is so much fun!
