Disneyland Adventure

So on February 9, 2010 Kate made her first trip to Disneyland...one of the bonuses was that Michael and I were able to go for free thanks to the Disney Give A Day Get A Day volunteer program! We all had a blast, especially watching Kate's face light up when she saw the characters, look in pure and utter amazement during It's A Small World and the shrieks of delight on the Jungle Cruise! Although it rained on and off the entire day (you will notice Michael and I sporting our fancy Disney ponchos as you scroll along), it worked to our advantage with the small crowds and incredibly short lines...5 minute wait for everything! What a fun-filled family day, just the three of us (for the time being), on a Disney adventure...I wish for many more to come!

We started of the day right with breakfast of smoothies and oatmeal at Jamba Juice; a local smoothie joint that we single-handedly keep in business when visiting.

Sitting on Dumbo ride...Kate repeatedly said "cheese" that day, always distracted by something else and not looking at the camera...

Naptime! I honestly did not think this would happen. She never falls asleep in her stroller these days. Guess we wore her out.

Jungle Cruise



She was so well behaved in the stores. With arms full of stuffed characters that were being switched out as she discovered more and more...When it was time to leave she calmly set them down, said goodnight to the animals and we left without any tears!

Gotta love those Minnie ears!
