Disneyland Rocks!!!

I just looked at our pictures from Disneyland a month ago, and remember how much fun we had!!! It was so great to finally get to experience the MAGIC!!! We had such a great time! THANKS PAPA!

Jed was all about the rides. He was so excited to go on every single one (even when we'd already been on Buzz Lightyear 1000 times!) He did however refuse to go on California Screamin' (the big roller coaster that goes upside down). This was my FAVORITE ride!! I tried and tried to coax him to go with me, but his fear got the best of him. Maybe next time Jed! Jed loved Space Mountain and Star Tours. He is all about Star Wars lately. He chose a special lightsaber that he built himself as his souvenir. I think he liked his second trip as much as his first!!

Kate loved the rides, but was really there to meet the princesses. She was bound and determined to meet Cinderella. On the first day, we saw Cinderella in the parade and Kate was sure that she waved just to HER. The next day in California Adventure we stoped to watch a little play, at the end Cinderella came out on stage!!! Kate was so excited. When it was over she got to meet her and even gave her a big hug. This was a dream come true for our little princess!!! Through the course of the week she met several princesses and really loved that part of Disneyland. Her favorite two rides were Space Mountain and Splash Mountain. Fortunately for me she convinced Pat to take her on Splash Mountain several times. (Thanks Pat! I was wet from the waist down - one time was enough for me!)

And Blake...

Blake absolutely loved Disneyland. He did so well. He was the perfect age to really love the characters. He couldn't get enough of them! Some of his favorites were Pluto - he played fetch with him, Goofy - Goofy played the drums on his head, Buzz Lightyear - Buzz talked on Blake's new Buzz phone, and his most favorite Mickey Mouse! He was so cute when we met Mickey. As we were leaving Mickey's house he kept running back to hug Mickey, then he would say "bye Mickey Mouse" over and over. It was seriously the cutest thing ever!!! Blake also loved the rides, especially the tea cups!! Each time we walked by them he would say "tea cups, Daddy go super fast!" He had a great time and never gave us any trouble. He was soooooo good I couldn't believe it. I know that he had the time of his life!!

We all had the time of our lives!! Disneyland is truly a magical place. Our kids were sooooo good. They didn't fight or complain or stop smiling for 6 days! Walt Disney must be a magician! Thanks Papa for giving us the vacation of a lifetime - where we could spend time with each other in the most magical place on earth!! WE LOVE YOU!!
