We went to Disneyland last week and had a marvelous time! Easton stayed home with Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Brad and Aunt Michelle. We figured he would have more fun playing than being stuck in a stroller all day. Prepare yourself for many pictures…
Getting to ride a shuttle at the airport and then flying were wonderful adventures for these two. Amelie couldn't stop exclaiming over everything during our flight. It was pretty cute. When we lifted off the ground, she yelled in glee, "WE'RE FLYING!" We should all be so excited about the miracle of flight, you know?
Snug as bugs. This was the scene each night of our trip within minutes (or seconds!) of getting back to our hotel room. Amelie kept calling the hotel the Clubhouse. Either she was thinking of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or our community clubhouse...Either way, they both loved it.
Excited to go on their first ride of the trip in Cars Land! These two did so well. I was amazed at how well they waited in line (we had a couple of long waits) and how well they held up during the day.
Mater's Junkyard Jamboree. I had to include a picture of this because it was one of Calder's favorite rides.
For lunch on Day 1, we chose a Character Dining Experience at Ariel's Grotto. Basically, that means pricey (but yummy!) food with the chance to meet some Disney characters. In this case, we got to meet 5 princesses. The kids were over the moon! I knew Amelie would be, but Calder was totally smitten by the princesses. It was pretty funny.
Sleeping Beauty...
Belle signing Amelie's autograph book.
Cinderella...
And Snow White. She must have been Calder's favorite because he gave her a big hug. See his sheepish grin? He loved every second of it.
Meeting Lighting McQueen.
Standing in line. I actually include this picture because of the vampire action happening right behind us. Strange, no?
We all just had a really fun time. It was great to have that time to just play as a family.
This is to highlight our birthday pins. We got one for the three of us with September birthdays. These little babies got us free desserts and lots of "Happy Birthday" greetings from people all over the park. Pretty fun! We did have several people ask if Amelie and Calder were twins--I guess they assumed their birthdays were actually on the same day.
A funny picture of us on Radiator Springs Racers in Cars Land. It was faster than I thought it would be! That's my excuse for my petrified look, at least. It was actually super fun ride.
We have lots more photos, of course, but there’s just a little taste of the fun time we had on our first day at Disneyland!
