Disneyland: Take One

We are HOME!!!!!

Our Disney trip was a lot of fun. We left bright and early Monday morning at 6am. Everett fell right to sleep again and Esella ended up falling asleep around an 7am. We stopped for breakfast around 9am and arrived at our hotel at 12:30! Surprisingly both kids did AWESOME on the ride down. We has been nervous about how Everett would do as he generally hates the car seat, however he did AMAZING and only flipped out the last 1/2 hour or so because he was hungry...and he pooped. Poor guy!

After a quick lunch, diaper changes, and sun screen application...we headed out to board the bus to Disneyland!!!

 Ironically, some friends of ours were ALSO at The Happiest Place on Earth so we met up with them as soon as we arrived. He caught up and watched the parade. Esella LOVED the parade!!! She clapped and sang and danced as each of the floats went by. 

Waiting for the parade to start with Daddy.

I just love her face in this one.

First time meeting Mickey Mouse. She LOVED him!!!
 

In addition to the parade and meeting Mickey, Esella went on a couple rides. Unfortunately, Esella ended up not being a fan of most of the rides. She kept saying "I no want to be afraid anymore!" Recently she has kinda become afraid of darkness and most of the rides get dark..so she was not a fan. Even after BEGGING to go on the train, she ended up not liking that one either because it went throgh several tunnels. She did LOVE the carousel though! 

So that was Disneyland: Take One. I'll post our further Disney adventures soon! Thanks for stopping by!!!

Also....Just wanted to post about Peyton, my friend's daughter with terminal cancer. We are raising money to help send her to Disney World. Make A Wish and like organizations do not grant wishes for kids under age three...and we do not know how Peyton will be feeling at that point. So far we have raised over $3600, with the goal being $4500-5000 to pay for airfare, hotel, food, etc. If you would like to donate, you can do so via paypal to prayerforpeyton@hotmail.com. Make sure to make it in Canadian dollars and mark as GIFT. You can read about her story here: Peyton's Caringbridge Site
