Disneyland

Well, we did it, we took her to disneyland. And she had a great time. Before I go too much further though, I will pass along a recommendation. If you were in our situation, where you have family that happen to live near a park, take the kids! But I wouldn't make a special trip yet at Keira's age. The whole standing in line thing was not a fun concept for her. Anything that was longer than a 10 minute wait, no way, total meltdown. She could see the ride and couldn't understand why she couldn't get on it RIGHT NOW. So unless you little one has the patience of a saint, I would wait at least another year, maybe two. That's my two cents.

It is hard to say what Keira's favorite part was. Everything she did, she loved. She got to meet both Mickey and Minnie. And she was in awe. She was very gentle with them and gave them both hugs and kisses. She even squeezed Minnie's nose. It was like she couldn't believe they were real. Here are the pics:

She rode lots of rides, though she didn't ride the one I most wanted her to ride which was the Dumbo one. We were in line for it, but it was just too long. She rode the teacups several times and said "Wee, that was a fun ride", she rode a rocket ship and a honeypot (a Winnie the Pooh ride), she took two boat rides, and I am sure there are some others I am forgetting. Oh, yes, she rode a roller coaster. It was sorta a kiddie one, but pretty big, I was shocked she even wanted to. But she really loved that. It was her favorite. In the pic you can't see her, but you can see my Mom and Mark and Wade - Keira is on the other side of Wade. Here are some pics from the rides:

She also went to the princess garden where they put on a little show to teach the girls how to be princesses. They show them how to dance and how to bow and how to behave at a ball. Then the real princesses come out. Keira was in total shock to see them. She danced and danced and danced completely oblivious that anyone else was there but her. It was just so cute.

Well, kids, I think that's it for vacation posts. This week you are just stuck with boring old us again. Hope you all had a good weekend!
