Wow! We went to Disneyland twice this year. The first time was in February with some good friends of ours; Brian, Eleni, Samantha and Sara. It was fun to be there with all the little girls. The weather was great, the lines were short, and the only downside was listening to Brian complain about how light his wallet was getting. Kirk and Brian were making up advertisements about "Come to Disneyland where we will take all your money, and make your kids so tired they cry..." Boys can be terrible sometimes. We ate lunch at Ariels Grotto and the girls adorned their princess dresses, and met their favorite princesses. Monique was so excited when Cinderella came around the corner....dreams really do come true in Disneyland.
The second trip was with the Old Lima's, Kirk's brother David, and Kirk's sisters' family-Monica, Bruce, Austin and Alena. Poor Austin is the only boy cousin, and he's so good with all the girls. Again, we had a great time. It was a little warmer, but not too bad. Olivia was walking by this time, so that made things a little better for her. She was scared of all the characters at first, but after a while she became really excited about the whole thing. She loved Tigger, and was very mad when we left him. Izabella had a great time staying late with her dad and riding all the big rides. Monique tried the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, and wasn't quite sure about it at first, but then asked to go on it again. We stopped at a little show in California Adventure, and Izabella was asked to go on stage, and be a part of the act. She danced a little, and sang "You Ain't Never Had a Friend Like Me!" And you know what? At the end of the show-out came Cinderella, Mickey and Woody. Monique was beside herself. Can dreams really come true twice in one year? They did for Monique. In fact, it was three times, because she made me stop at that same show an hour later. I think she told Cinderella her life story. Monique's favorite ride is Pirate's of the Carribean, Bella's is California Screamer, and Olivia really liked all the Fantasy Land rides. She always cried when we had to get off the ride. All in all, I think it's been a good year so far... Maybe next year we can go three times!

Great pictures Dottie. If you do go again next year see if you can make reservations to eat in Cinderella's Castle. We did that when Ali was younger. I think her and david. It was really cool. Cinderella comes out too. It up top the in the castle so you can look out on disney. Pretty cool.
Looks like you guys had lots of fun. Maybe you want to come to SeaWorld next year. You can come here and stay with us. FREE... It would be fun.
That's in Disneyland? I've never heard of it.
We only knew about it because Johns mom worked for reservations for disney. I think you have to make reservations LONG time in advance. Its a cool think to do. Kinda pricy but was worth the looks of Alicia's face when she got to see Cinderella and sit in her big chair for pictures. You also get to take home a big glass mug from the castle.
You might want to get - i cant remember the exact name of it- but I think it was a book all about disneyland/world. Told you the best time to go to each ride, where to eat, special things to do. We really planned out our days according to the book and had a great time.
