Disneyland!

I finally got my camera to work and time to download the pictures on the same day! Blogger wouldn't load as many as I wanted, but I got some of them in!!

A couple of weeks ago we took Computer Guy, Darling Wife and MissC to Disneyland to celebrate birthdays! We have season passes and won 1-day passes in a raffle, so we could all go - it was such a fun day! Disneyland was packed that day - Yom Kippur, we found out is a Los Angeles City Schools holiday! Oh well - the weather was beautiful and we had a super time in spite of the crowds. The park had just been decorated for Halloween, and although I am not a Halloween fan all the pumpkin stuff was really cute!

MissC was feeling a little puny that day, I think she had a slight fever and a little runny nose - maybe more teeth? She wasn't fussy, just not as perky as she normaly is! So we went with the day and showed her all the sights anyway! (You can see why hubby teases CG about being his bodyguard - he got all the height in the family!)



The view from daddy's shoulders was a lot better than down in the stroller!

We started in California Adventure and rode the carousel and saw that park first, had lunch there then went into the Disneyland side and spent the rest of the day there. There were so many people we didn't ride a lot of things, but we went on Small World - MissC liked that, then she slept through most of Pirates of the Caribbean - the line was long, so it seemed like a good time for a nap! We went out of the park into Downtown Disney for an early dinner - in California they are right next to each other. She perked up a bit at dinner time and was being silly with mommy - (this is not a mad face) - they were playing!




After dinner we went back into the park and saw the parade - NOW MissC came alive! She LOVED all the lights and colors and the music and dancing!! We finished the night with coffee and dessert on Main Street.



CG & DW decided to use the free passes we had to turn in on season passes - so they just had to pay the difference which wasn't bad at all! We have already made plans with them to go again in a couple of months! Miss C will enjoy it more when she is not feeling poorly and we will pick a day that is not a holiday for anyone so the crowds will be down! It will be past Halloween then and all the Christmas decorations will be up - that always makes the parks even prettier!

It was such a fun day - what an adorable family they are!! We are blessed!

Oh what fun! I love that family photo. You all look so good. Wish I could have gone too, since you know how I love D-land.

What fun! I made my first trip as an adult a few years ago and that parade at the end of the day is my favorite thing too!
