Disneyland

After witnessing way too many toddler melt downs during a trip to Disneyworld many years ago, Michael and I swore if we ever had kids, we wouldn't take them to theme park before they were at least 10 years old ! Now here we are with a 2 and a 4 year old, and what do we do? We pack up and head out to Disneyland! Well, we were going to visit the folks and needed something to do in between our visits with them right!!! That was our excuse at first, but, in all reality, Randi is in the midst of Princess madness, so how could we deprive her of an opportunity to meet Aurora, Cinderella and Snow White! Despite a few rough moments here and there, we had a GREAT time! The kids loved it, and we loved watching them experience the joy and magic of Disney. I don't think I'll ever forget the look of pure joy on Randi's face as she rode a yellow caterpillar through the Hundred Acre Woods looking for Winnie the Pooh! It was priceless and worth every little meltdown we had along the way!

There are lots of pictures of our trip on our smugmug site, but, in the meantime, here are a few of my favorites:
