Disneyland

In May we decided to go to Disneyland every Friday night. I am so glad that we did! We used our passes more in May than the combined time since we had bought them. We were able to see a little more of Disneyland (though not close to all of it) and California Adventure. Now I will be better at navigating everyone around when you come visit us (hint hint). Here is Ave and P as we're heading to the tram. This was Pierson's 7 month day. Isn't he handsome? Avery is pretty darn cute as well :)
Here we are on Nemo's Submarine. Right after I took this picture I saw the 'no photography' sign. Whoops!

Avery and Michael rode in the cars and Avery got to drive. She thought it was pretty cool.


Here we are at California Adventure about to go on the TOy Story ride. This was probably one of my more favorite rides with kids. It's a 3-d shooting game. We saw the high scores as we were leaving and Michael and I only got a fraction of what the high score was. Oh well... maybe next time (yeah right). We let Ave and S sit in their own car and Ave was pretty scared at first but by the end she was laughing and trying to shoot the gun. It was a lot of fun!
We went with some friends to California Adventure so we took turns watching the kids and riding the roller coaster that was there. Luckily the carousel was right next to the coaster and we had fast passes so the kids didn't even realize they were waiting.

Here is Avery and S on the carousel. I think this was Avery's favorite part of the night. What little girl wouldn't love riding on pink bejeweled Little Mermaid's friends?

This was the last ride of the night. There is our buds N and S and then Mike and Ave are in hte back.

Pierson had to have his own seat belt for this ride! So I buckled him in next to me and we took off. It was one of those rides that you spin around and go different heights (like Dumbo). Do you guys see the two lovebirds sitting in front of me... haha!

How fun! We're going with my family in a couple of weeks and I am SO excited! I haven't been to Disneyland in YEARS! So what's the best way to handle the baby/stroller situation? We're thinking of just renting a stroller when we get there because I don't want to leave my nice one outside the rides... I'm wondering how easy it's going to be to make Lily take naps on the go, but we'll cross our fingers and hope she falls asleep :)

Disneyland is magical!

So while I was reading this post I had some issues and I read a lot of things incorrectly. For example: when you wrote No Photography I definitely read NO PORNOGRAPHY. Which they probably don't want in disneyland either. So I guess it was a fine mistake.

Jana- I would buy one of the cheap strollers from Wal-Mart or Babies'r'us. We have one that has a sunshade and I love keeping it in our car or quick trips places. If you don't want to buy one renting would work. I just figured it would probably be the same price. I also usually put P in the baby bjorn since you have to leave the stroller most places. He seems to sleep well in that. If you need one you could borrow mine or if you need a quiet place for Lily to nap or a couple of hours to do adult rides, give me a call and I'll watch her. I only live like 15 minutes away and her and P would have fun!

Lindsi- Bless your heart
