OK...here's your proof. We had an awesome time in Disneyland in April. I'll try not to bore you with too many family pictures...but no guarantees. We got in early to Mickey's Toontown Madness to become honorary citizens of ToonTown and to wait in numerous lines to see Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and others to get their autographs. You can see that Goofy decided to help Emily with her hair - probably wanted it to match her mom's.
Of course we couldn't call this trip complete without going on as many rides as we could. Before we left, I had decided that I would "relax" and just take each day to have fun. Once we got there, all of the relaxing went out the window and I spent any spare minute working through strategies of how to get on every ride as many times as possible with the least wait time. I even tried calculating the times to be on rides with bathroom breaks....I know...I've got problems. We hit just about every ride in both Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure in the first two and a half days we were there. Once that was done, I was able to "relax" and we enjoyed the next few days going on our favorites. Emily's favorite was Thunder Mountain railroad. Splash Mountain was one that we couldn't get enough of.
Another family favorite was the Grizzly Bear Run in Disney's California Adventure. At first Cyrus was 1/4 inch too short to ride, but after some 'minor modifications' he was tall enough and we all had a great time.

Kelsey was able to go on just about every ride. I think her favorite was this rocket ride or Haunted Mansion. She also liked the Pirates of the Caribbean (or was that Andy's favorite?). I just remember we went on it over and over...and over.
Here are just a few more random pictures of our trip. I just noticed that I am in the picture of the kids with Mary Poppins. See if you can find me...here's a hint...it's a reflection (just keep in mind that reflections always add an additional 50 pounds)

Of course no day was complete without "rest time" when we would enjoy fruit snack, crackers, water, or maybe even a churro. We were able to watch the parade one night. We had to sit in the gutter of the street for about 45 minutes saving our place, but once the parade started, Kelsey settled in and watched the whole thing.
We had a wonderful time and hope to go back in the next few years...and maybe we'll invite Jill.:)
