Disneyland Feb. 2011

Ready for her big day in her Minnie dress

Her and her friends

I love this one. Big blue eyes

Leaving the castle

Sleeping Beauty's castle (as we were corrected by the two year old) We were calling it the Princess Castle.

Hugs

There's a smiler

I look silly but she is so sweet

It's a small world

On it's a small world, sort of smiling

Meeting Mickey, she was sooo excited.

This was the highlight, a hug from Mickey. She couldn't believe.

Mickey's house

Minnie's house, she loved the pretend oven that baked a cake.

So it was my neice's birthday and their family was taking a three day trip to Disneyland. It got me to think about how we have really been wanting to take Avery too. I know with the baby coming it was going to be hard to get there before she turns three in September. (You don't really want to do to D-land in the summer anyway...too hot and way too many people). So we decided that yest. worked for us. We called my sister-in-law to say we were coming, but they were already having lots of people coming to see them. We decided to invite our neighbors who have season passes, and they wanted to come with us. Wes and I haven't been there in a long time, so it was a big help to have them navigate the rides with us. Avery had a great time with her friends too. We couldn't have picked a better day to go. The weather was perfect, 74 and sunny with a slight breeze, and it wasn't that crowded. The longest we waited for any ride was 20 minutes. Mostly we just walked on. Her favorite rides were: "it's a small world," the jungle cruise, the carousel and the tiki room. She loved Mickey and Minnie's house and meeting Mickey. She was really tired for parts of the day, so we didn't get many smiling picks but she had a great time. We ended up getting the So. Cal two day park pass, since it was only 20 dollars more, so we are going to go either to California Adventure or back to D-land in the next few weeks. It is so fun, but def. exhausting, especially while pregnant.
