Farewell to Disneyland

We had a couple of hours Saturday morning before our flight so we let Milan pick our activities.

First stop....the Princesses!
(Eden can hardly contain her excitement in this picture :)




"I'm 2."



Then we revisited some of her favorite rides.
The Teacups.

Sleeping Beauty's Castle.

The Carousel.

We ran into Chip and Dale on our way out of the park. Milan got to play with them without waiting in line so they were her favorite characters!


It was a wonderful trip!! We had a great time hanging out together and Milan has talked about it every day that we have been back. I'm so glad that we planned this family vacation before we sold our house and other things became priorities. Speaking of selling the house.....moving day tomorrow....off to bed now....

Friday

You might be tired of seeing our Disneyland pictures, but Milan can't get enough of them. Dave and I have both shown her our blog pictures multiple times today and she loves to tell us what we're doing in each picture.

Friday, we headed to Disneyland in the morning. The park was definitely busier and the lines were longer. Milan had a tendency to get half way through the line then insist on going potty; they ended up waiting in line a couple of times for this ride.


The highlight of Milan's day was meeting Tinkerbell.



It was great beach weather so we headed to the beach house in the afternoon.

Eden enjoyed eating sand (and showing off her cute little beach body.)

Dave and Milan went exploring and wave jumping then built this awesome sand castle!

At 6, we left our tired kids with Grandma and Papa then headed back to Disneyland to ride rides until midnight. We had a great time exploring Disneyland in the dark and just hanging out together.

The FUN Continues!

I didn't take a single picture on the second day of our family vacation, but I definitely made up for that oversight on Thursday! Wednesday was a great day though. Grandma and Papa played with Eden in our hotel room while Dave and I took Milan to Disneyland. Our second ride of the day was Pirates of the Caribbean.....bad idea....it scared the heck out of Milan and she wouldn't go on any type of boat ride for the rest of the day. We decided to head over to Fantasyland after that and she loved all the kids rides. We even got to see Woody and his girlfriend! Mid-afternoon we headed back to our hotel room for lunch. Milan decided to stay and swim with Papa so Dave and I went on a date to California Adventure. We rode some roller coasters and ate ice cream for dinner....it was great!

Thursday, Grandma and Papa spent the day with us at Disneyland! We started off the day by visiting some of our favorite characters.








Then we rode practically every kid ride in Disneyland! (We successfully secured the pink elephant, pink tea cup, pink roller coaster car, etc. every time and had a very happy little girl.)






We ran into the Fairy Godmother

And even got to see Princess Jasmine


Just when we thought Milan was too tired to get out of the stroller one more time, the parade started! Milan hopped right out, took a front row spot, and started shaking her little bum as soon as the music started. She danced the whole time and the parade dancers kept taking her out into the street to dance. It was super CUTE and Milan absolutely LOVED it!





It was certainly a great day at Disneyland :)

Family Pictures

Every time we walked from our hotel to Disneyland, we passed this pretty little garden so I decided to get a couple of family pictures. Milan wasn't super excited about hanging around taking pictures when Disneyland was so close and she had an Ariel Nightgown to show off.

The Happiest Place on Earth

We flew to California on Monday night with our kids, 2 car seats, a double stroller, and 3 big bags....it was a little ridiculous for Dave and I but we totally made it! We made it to our hotel room around midnight.....we thought Milan would be exhausted but she just laid in her bed too excited to sleep. We woke up bright and early Tuesday morning and started off our Disneyland vacation with a bang.....

Breakfast with the Princesses!








After breakfast, we took Milan on all the kid's rides at California Adventure.







Grandma and Papa Scott were staying at Newport Beach so we went to visit them in the afternoon.
I LOVE Eden's hair

and Milan's outfit :)


Milan stayed the night with grandma and papa and we took an exhausted little Eden back to our room; the end of a great 1st day!
