Disneyland Trip - Tuesday


Tuesday morning was a Magic Morning so everyone with park hopper passes got to go in at 9am instead of 10am. We went in and there were a bunch of characters so we met them all. The kids LOVED meeting the characters. Hint for any of you going to Disneyland: let your kids choose an autograph book from the gift shop for all the characters to sign. You can also put the picture of your kid with the character next to the signature. What a keepsake! We got the pictures printed today and put them in the books and my kids love it! Anyway, only Fantasyland was open for magic morning so it was a great time to get those rides in without lines.





Look at her sweet little hands...

After Fantasyland it was PRINCESS TIME!!!! Let me just tell you, meeting the princess' is the most amazing thing ever! There is usually a line (we waited about 20 min once and 45 min the other time) but it is so worth it! There are 3-4 princesses and they all have their own little area where they talk to the girls. They actually talk to each girl for about 5 min or so. It is amazing. Brynley was just beside herself. She hasn't stopped talking about it to this day.
This moment may or may not have brought tears to my eyes.

Belle was the nicest one we saw! She was so sweet and seemed very interested in everything Brynley said. It was insanely cute.


All the princesses treated Brynley like Aurora from Sleeping Beauty since that's who she was dressed as. They asked her about Prince Phillip and the fairies and everything.

Ariel was very nice too. She was cute and kept teasing Caleb saying she didn't trust him because he was a pirate and you can't trust pirates.





After princesses we headed over to California Adventure for the day. We had tons of fun there.


Caleb was tall enough for Tower of Terror so we asked if he wanted to go on it. He's actually been talking about it for weeks and was really excited for it. He knew all about it, scary hotel, drop from the 13th floor, etc. Even as prepared as he was, he still was really scared. This picture is not posed.

We were all a little nervous about Tower of Terror!


Grandma and Grandpa with the kids on the carousel in CA Adventure. They were so incredibly helpful. NEVER go without bringing grandparents! We could not have done it without you guys! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Uncle Dane was very helpful too. Never go without an Uncle either. :-)


We ended off the day with the Pixar Play Parade again! We loved it!

D-land is so magical with kids. And they seem to have thought of everything when it comes to visiting with young kids! I just love walking down Main St.
And just to save myself from repeating, I am so jealous!

Those little hands are so sweet :)

I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go! I absolutely love the princess pictures. I really like the one of Mulan (she's pretty) hugging Brynley, and Belle, ok, all of them. So precious! Jackson will be jealous that Caleb got to stand right next to Mater and Lightning McQueen.

2nd time looking at the pics: Aubrey's hands are so cute. What a sweetie for being so good. Also, why is Jasmine wearing a huge mumu-looking dress? Also, your parents look great! It is so awesome to spend that time with the grandkids and to help out. I am totally going to copy you.
