Princesses & Cartoons (Day 3)

Ok, I know you're all probably sick of pictures! I'm almost done I promise! Eliška just loves looking at them all.

We first went to the Princess Fantasy Faire which was pretty much Eliška's dream day!
storytime with 'Sleeping Rora' as Eliška calls her

a cute little show with princess dancing lessons



Pocahontas

Snow White

Sleeping Beauty

then over to Toon Town


this Goofy was hilarious, he was trying to sit in our strollers

here's my Goofy (I actually got a Mickey shirt there that says, "I'm with Goofy")
Pluto
the line to see Mickey was surprisingly short

Next we went to all the other "lands"
here's a little petting zoo (this sheep was so soft!)

The girls loved this winnie the pooh ride

Are we crazy? We took the girls on the Haunted Mansion ride & Pirates of the Caribbean. They were actually really good!

Then we had dinner at Goofy's Kitchen
(Here I am telling the girls that Goofy cooked all of our food)

The Happiest Place on Earth (Day 2)

The last time I went to Disneyland was 91' & Dan & the girls have never been, so we had a lot of fun. We went to Disney World with my family in 06' so we were familiar with the Magic Kingdom which is pretty much the same as Disneyland. This time was a lot better though because I didn't have a baby to nurse & the kids were able to go on more rides.

We first went to a breakfast with Minnie Mouse & her friends

my 'mini' Minnies


Emma loved seeing all the characters, she would wave & say "hi bebe!" (that's what she calls her stuffed animals)

we saw so many characters!


Captain Hook

Dale

Emma took a lot of naps while waiting in all of the lines

Eliška was so excited to see the castle


Emma was kind of scared of the carousel!


We rode every single ride in Fantasyland! Emma loved Dumbo


Eliška's favorite ride was the tea-cups, we went on them 3 times



the white rabbit's house


it was neat to see Mary Poppins & Bert on the Carousel

Eliška's cheering for Mary Poppins with Alice & the Mad Hatter


nothing better than a kid with ice cream at Disneyland!



that's one happy child!
crazy kid!


waiting for the parade

The parades were my favorite thing, they were all amazing! The girls absolutely loved pointing out all their favorite characters
Tink saying Goodnight!

Our Disneyland Vacation (Day 1)

So, we are back from our first real family vacation & it was the funnest trip ever! I love that the girls are getting old enough to enjoy stuff like this. I hope to go on many more family vacations since they were such great travelers this time! The weather was great too, thank goodness! I just downloaded my camera-311 pictures! So let me warn you about the next few posts! It may be boring to read all the details, but I'm doing it for my own journaling purposes, plus I've gotta do something with all these pictures!!

The girls were shockingly good on the 10 hour trip to California, we only stopped twice

first stop was at this cute little park in St. George (it is SO hot there!)


Emma took a few naps, none for Eliška though

finally arrived at the Disneyland Hotel!


the girls loved our room, with tinkerbell on the ceiling


then dinner by the pool



and swimming!




Eliška loved this little waterslide


Emma really did not like swimming, she just kind of whined the whole time-kind of disappointing, she liked swimming last year!


the cool waterfall by our room
