Visiting Minnie

Part of our Christmas celebrations this year included a trip to Disneyland.
We tagged along with Grandma, Grandpa, Rocky, Steph and cousins for a
week long adventure. And, an adventure it was.

There is something special about Disneyland.
I really feel like it is one of the happiest places on earth, just like they say.
I could spend all day, literally all day,
in Frontierland, and Adventureland.
I love the atmosphere there,
and some of my favorite rides are there...
Pirates, Splash Mountain, The Haunted Mansion,
The Hungry Bear Restrooms.

Speaking of restrooms,
It's a good thing Disney knew what they were doing.
There are a million bathrooms, and I think we used EVERY one.
After every ride.
But, they are all different, and unique, and clean. It was fun to see them all.
(My personal favorite was the Queen of Hearts bathroom by the Matterhorn)

If you don't believe me, here's proof:
We potty trained Lauren while we were there.
That's how often we went.

Audrey was tall enough to ride every ride except California Screamin',
and there were many tears shed when she couldn't join us on that one.
She LOVES roller coasters,
there's not one bone of fear in her body,
and she doesn't get motion sickness.
She takes after her mother.

If you are making a pilgrimage to Disneyland this year,
you really MUST see the World of Color in California Adventure.
It was amazing. Really.

That about sums it up...and now,
for your viewing pleasure:



P.S. Don't worry, Adam is already planning our trip for later this year,
so please, plan on joining us if you can...we promise it will be an adventure!

Ian was looking through your vacation pictures with me and he was getting so excited! He kept saying "friends" when he saw your girls and he loved all the characters. We are going in a couple of years, and if how excited he gets just looking at pictures of Disneyland is any indication, I think it is safe to say it will be a great time! Glad you guys had fun!!

How interesting! Roy and I were just talking about going on a family vacation to Disneyland this year (or going on a Disney Cruise). Will have to get in touch with you on this, Rachel. Looked like you all had a really good time over there. Love the pictures!
