Disneyland

Earlier this week we went on a quick, but very fulfilling trip to Disneyland. Growing up in Southern California, I've been to this magical place many times, but this was a whole new experience...witnessing my little ones' excitement for the first time! The girls had great endurance, starting the day off early in the morning and lasting well into the night with no naps. We got to do pretty much everything we wanted in one day and had so much fun spending this time together as a family.

The next day after a very leisure-filled morning of recovering from our big day, we stopped by the beach before heading out of town. We all enjoyed the waves and sand and had a hard time leaving such beauty...but then again, it's always nice to return home.


They were very impressed by the "real castle" we got to see.

Small World was definitely a favorite!

Aaron had fun with his girls on "Autopia." Grace got to drive, but I think she was most excited about having her own drivers license given to her.

Eve really liked this Winnie the Pooh ride because there were no scary parts.

Aaron took the girls on Splash Mountain ( I refrained...wasn't sure if it might be too bumpy for my little baby bump!) The big drop made poor Eve cry, but Grace seemed to enjoy it (I was kind of surprised at how much she enjoyed the "big rides" she went on with Aaron. Space Mountain and Star Tours were her favorites.)

Grace got to dance with Goofy during the Parade.

Grace loved splashing in the waves and writing with a stick in the sand, while Eve preferred to sit on a towel under the umbrella and expressed that she thought the seaweed was "nasty."
