Disneyland! Yay!!!

We are sad to say that our trip to Disneyland is now over. But we had a blast, and took lots of pictures to prove it. Kate has now learned the art of posing for the camera, and she does a very good job at it! She experienced her first airplane ride, and slept the entire time (both ways), it was amazing! When we arrived on Saturday morning the shuttle took us straight to the hotel (across the street from Disneyland) and we unloaded our bags and took off to play! It was so fun, and by the end of the day we were ready to sleep for the next week! Our first ride was pirates, and Kate cried the whole time, but by the next ride (the haunted mansion) she was sound asleep! What a funny baby. After a few hours it was close to 100 degrees, so we headed over to play in the water and Kate thought it was a blast watching all the kids run around soaking wet. Kate and cousin Avery had cute matching outfits that were soaked by the end. We made it on all the favorite rides, saw the parades and the fireworks. It was a very sucessful day! The next day we went to church, and after we drove down to Laguna Beach. Kate had her first experience with the beach, she loved putting her feet in the sand when the water came in! We also spent a good amount of time in the pool and the hot tub! During the week we spent two more days at disneyland, Kates favorite ride was probably the finding nemo submarine ride, she was so funny to watch on it. The other favorites were the teacups, and monsters inc. She met Pluto, the Incredibles, Sully, and Ariel, and saw a bunch of other characters. The funniest part of the trip was when I was walking through the gift shop with Kate and she went past the baby princess dolls and got so excited about this one tinkerbell doll that we had to get it for her so she wouldnt cry when we left. She definitely knows what she wants, and how to get it! We had another beach day on tuesday at Newport beach, the boys went buggie boarding while the girls slept on the beach. and I tried to bury Kates arms and legs in the sand and she would try to eat handfulls of sand, yuck! We got fried! It was so painful at Disneyland the next day!!! I did man up and decided to go on the tower of terror (mostly by persuasion) it was definitely terrifying! I only went once and that was more than enough. The last day at Disneyland we waited in line for the Peter Pan ride for a half hour and when we got to the front of the line the ride broke down, this happened three more times on different rides, I think we must have been bad luck! Other than that the lines were so short and we got on every ride we wanted to, it was great! It was so fun to spend time with the family and see everyone, and what a better place to do it than disneyland!
