Disneyland

On Monday morning we drove down to Disneyland which was about 3 1/2 hours from us. We spent the day at the park with our friends Tyler, Lisa, and Levi. It was so much fun seeing Levi who is like 4 and Sydney explore the park. They enjoyed seeing all of the characters and going on the rides. Sydney rode three rides; Pirates of the Caribbean, Its a Small World, and Roger Rabbits crazy cars or something like that.

While in Mickey's Toon Town we saw Goofy, Pluto, Minnie, and Mickey. Goofy wouldn't stop long enough to get a picture, but Pluto was really good about it. I really wanted Sydney to have a picture with Minnie but the line was forever long. Meanwhile Lisa took Levi in Mickey's house and came running back out telling us that Mickey was inside and there was no line. So we took advantage of it and his little house was so cute. On Tuesday morning we let the big kids rides some rides and before we left we went and saw Winnie the Pooh, Eyore, and Tigger. We got lucky though, Paul and I needed to be leaving the park by noon so we could be home by five for his midterm. While we were waiting to see Pooh bear, they announced he would only be there for five more minutes before they took a break. I was worried we wouldn't be able to see the characters, but we just made it through the line before they started their break. I was so glad because Sydney totally recognizes them and She was so cute whenever we saw a character. She would always grab at their noses or mouth and look at them so curious.




It was a very quick trip, but a lot of fun. Needless to say I am never going to Disneyland preggers again. My ankles were huge after walking and standing all day. But amazingly enough for not being able to ride any rides really I had a blast. I can't wait to go again someday when the kiddos are a little older and understand or can ride more rides.

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun! I LOVE going to Disneyland but we haven't tried it with Kailan yet.

To get Kailan's hair in pig tails I wet it down with water and then put a little KY in it. That seems to help them stay. Good Luck!
