We finally took the family to Disneyland! We went to Disneyland shortly after we were married and had a great time but a the end of the day we agreed not to come back until our kids were at least 42 inches tall and able to really enjoy it. Well two out of three hit the mile stone and we figured that was good enough.
Brent's sister and her family had a trip all planned and we joined in. I am glad we went with cousins and the girls thrived on the peer pressure. Cami even rode on California Screaming and the Tower of Terror (although there were some tears of terror she says she loved it). It was good for her self confidence.
The cousins were die hards we were up both mornings and at the park for opening and left at closing. The cousins are also pros and knew which rides to ride when and when to get fast passes and where to eat and when...It was way convenient for us to tag along.
And although Jocelyn wasn't big enough for rides other than the kiddie ones she enjoyed climbing every fence and took great naps in the stroller. We really scored having her as our baby.
The girls also loved staying in a hotel since we haven't actually stayed in one for a while. The pool was right outside our room and we wished we had packed our suits...I think the highlight for Taryn was being allowed to buy a treasure in the park the last day-of course a jewelry box and locket.
The drive is only 7 ish hours but the WHOLE way down, every two minutes Taryn asked are we there yet? We both thought we might loss it by the time we did get there.
And since it has been almost three months since we went and I am tired here are some pictures to tell the tell of Disneyland....
Jocelyn on one of the thousands of fences...on this particular one she was watching the ducks and saying "duck, duck, duck...."
When we first got to the park the girls REALLY wanted to go meet all the pixie hallow fairies (they have been reading the books) and on the second day we scheduled them in while the cousins were pursuing some other more serious adventure.
The girls favorite fairy.
Entering the park for the iconic Disneyland picture....our kids and their cousins....
The girls were totally beat after such long intense days so we let them sleep in the morning we left. It was really cute to see two little ladies in a ginormous bed still cuddled up to each other.
Jocelyn getting sunburned watching the parade with cousin Rachael. Jocelyn's favorite was Mickey and Minnie.Taryn's favorite was the whole Little Mermaid section and Cami just enjoyed the general splendor of everything. The looks on all three of their faces was worth the sun.
Cami and Taryn clapped the entire time.
The lines seemed really long to me-longer than they have in the past so this was a familiar site. At least Disneyland goes to the trouble of trying to make the waits as pretty as possible. Here the girls are looking for fairies by the ponds.-except Jocelyn who had a constant eye out for "duck ducks"
Taryn LOVED the tree house Tarzan rope place. I think Cami's favorite was the haunted mansion. We did each place multiple times...
Sweet Sweet Baby Faye....What a sweet baby!
