For part of the extended weekend we took the kids to Disneyland for the first time. My parents and sister joined us for an excellent day. The weather was perfect, crowds were low, and the smiles would not quit. All of the sudden Disneyland is fun again.
Jack was content to look at the characters including Winnie the Pooh. He would simply shake his head and smile when asked if he wanted to give them a hug.
Such a good little girl.
First stop of the day was the "new" Finding Nemo ride. Unfortunately it was the first stop for a lot of people and was the longest line of the day but since Nemo is one of Jack's words it was totally worth it. Who knew the submarine ride would ever attract a crowd again.
Dumbo was another big hit. Jack was so funny when he would get to the front of the lines and see the car/teacup/boat leave with the people that were in front of us. He would get impatient and almost worried that we had just missed our chance at happiness only to see another opportunity come his way.
Woody's Roundup Show was a big hit for a couple reasons. Jessie the Yodeling Cowgirl is not only an excellent performer but also Jolie, the family friend that got us into the park for free.
Here we are the Jungle Cruise. Jack was at first cautiously anticipating seeing an elephant.
Then we saw it.
And he wasn't so sure he liked it after all. At least on this boat he didn't force his Grandma to cover his eyes with her hand like he did on Pirates of the Caribbean.
I like this picture because I never thought Lily could pull off the evil look.
Here we are over in California Adventure. The things around our necks are Dream Passes that gave us fast passes to all the cool rides regardless of the time. We were randomly selected as winners while coming of Big Thunder and the envy of those in the know.
This was taken on the tram back to the parking lot, maybe the kids favorite ride of the day. It might of just been the knowledge that In-N-Out was in the very near future.

haha, third to last pic is so cute
Glad you all had a good time and we wish we could have been there with you.
Disneyland is fun again! That was a great day even without "It's a small world". Thanks to Jolie for hooking us up!
We've wanted to do this ever since our Lily was born, but have resisted because we didn't think she'd appreciate it yet. Your post is making me think otherwise...nine months is old enough, right?
We LOVE LOVE LOVE going to Disneyland and having a second childhood experience with our kids...Oh, by the way...this is Kayla...Beth's cousin from her Dad's side...one of the Oxnard cousins.
Anyhow, I am SO glad we are not the only ones to enjoy Disneyland Again. We have Season Passes and get to go a lot. I do miss the parking lot being in the front of the park...where Cal. Adventure is now.
Although, I'll take the new park too.
Hope you guys are well. Tell Beth I said HI.
