Disneyland, February 15th

A family photo at the entrance to Disneyland.
Here is Emma admiring the final page in Sleeping Beauty's Storybook. We are near the exit of Sleeping Beauty's castle here, and it was super special for Emma to be able to walk through the castle for the first time since Aurora is her favorite princess.
While we were visiting Disneyland, one of my best friends and roomates from Iowa, Michelle was also vacationing there with her family. Here are two of her three children, Cristian and Ava with our girls in one of Alice's Tea Cups. It was so nice to see all the kids playing together and having fun on all the rides!!

Cristian and Emma enjoying Pinocchio's Daring Journey. Rebekah is hiding in my lap in the background, we might have made a bad choice in taking her on Snow White's Scary Adventure for her first Disneyland ride. It's a little dark and scary in there, and she continued to be frightened on other rides that didn't have scary storylines afterwards.
Cristian and Emma who are only three weeks apart became instant buddies, and asked to go on most of the rides together. It was very cute, here they are enjoying a front row seat on the roller coaster in Toon Town.
Meeting Pluto was very exciting!
Duckie ready to go down the slide head first.
Peeking out of a pumpkin.
Alyssa, Michelle's daughter, Ava, and Cristian sitting in a gazebo near where we ate lunch. One of the older children started a game where the kids were running laps around the gazebo shouting out: "Oh no! A BEE!" and it was so funny to watch Rebekah copy Ava's every move. She's not used to having a playmate so close in age and size to her, and I know she really enjoyed playing with Ava.
The three girls as Toon Town Firefighters.
Captain Bekah drives the Fire Track :)
For Grandma: Emma with the mailbox in Toon Town.
The ten of us at Princess Aurora's castle.
Before leaving to meet Dave's family, Michelle and I posed for a picture in front of the castle. It was so great to spend the day with you and your family in Disneyland, Michelle! I'm glad the kids had so much fun together. It's too bad we don't live closer and can't arrange get togethers like this more often!!
Beautiful Tulips in Disneyland!!
