Disneyland - August 31, 2009 - Last Day of Summer Vacation!!

What's the best way to end summer vacation? A trip to Disneyland with no crowds! That's what we did on Monday, August 31. We got up very early to be at the park before it opened. We were the first in line for many rides!

Four happy kids riding the early tram to Disneyland!

Empty, empty, empty...the way we dream of Disneyland being!

Nothing beats being the first ones in line at Disneyland's gate!

Goofy was waiting to greet us!

Blake just can't hide from trouble...there ain't no place that far!!

Blake and Clayton Brooks

Congratulations Blake & Clayton! You're tall enough to ride Indiana Jones (with a little help from Jocelyn's heely sneakers that she put on Clayton!)

We got on all the great rides and stood in short lines all morning! It was awesome! By the time we left at 1:00pm, we had done a full day's amount of rides and had plenty of fun. The perfect way to end summer vacation!
