My parents drove from Utah over the Labor Day weekend. They even made it in time to pick Dallas up from the school bus! I missed that because I had to work that day, but I can’t imagine how excited he must have been to see his grandparents waiting for him at the bus stop!
On Saturday we left after making some yummy empanadas for the trip. First we decided to take Hwy 1, but that was a huge mistake. Tons of traffic on almost every freeway we were on, that ride took forever. We finally made it to Anaheim late that night and went straight to bed.
Sunday was Disneyland day! We kept telling Dallas that we had a big surprise for him and I think we over did it, because he wasn’t that excited when we finally told him where we were taking him. Oh well. We had a fun time. My parents had never been to Disneyland and I was excited for them to see what a great place it is.
He was there too

We went to Star Tours, if you never been to that ride, they choose a person from the audience and they make the person the ‘Rebel Spy’ of the story. They picked me! I was so surprised when my picture showed up on the screen, haha! It was awesome. We rode Space Mountain (Dallas was the right height but he did not like it at all, poor buddy, it was too dark for him), the Buzz Lightyear ride (he loved that one!), Autopia (I was not a fan of that one), the Finding Nemo ride (the long wait was not worth that ride, I was disappointed).
We also went on the Dumbo ride, the teacups, we watched the parade and the Jedi Training Academy show ( I was hoping D would get picked, but no. They teach kids from the audience how to become a Jedi and then they fight Darth Vader, it was fun). We got on other rides and of course we couldn’t leave without having some Dole Pineapple Whip. It’s so good!!
After the fireworks I went to the store and got some souvenirs, my mom bought him a R2D2 Mickey hat, he loved it 
The next day it was time to go back home but before that we headed to Newport Beach and we played for a little bit. It started to get cloudy so we grabbed some food and drove up north.
We had a great time and Dallas was beyond happy to have his abuelos with him!
I blog about married life, motherhood, being a CNA, living in San Francisco, trying not to forget Castellano and living after child loss.

Yay! How fun!! I love that your parents have never been there. That makes it more magical! I think it’s so funny how he was not as excited when he saw what the big surprise was, Brielle gets more excited for things I don’t expect, haha, kids! What wonderful memories to have your parents there with Dallas and Conner at the most magical place on earth

We only bought one of those Dole Whippy things for our family, and it wasn’t near enough. Looks like we’ll have to go back.
Your parents are such AWESOME grandparents! Conner and Dallas are lucky. Glad you had a great time. Love ya, Amy
