DISNEYLAND!!

We finally took the family to Disneyland! It was Maya's first time there. We had an absolute blast! After a lot of insider information from my good friend Sarah who has season passes and my sister Kendra who had gone the week before, so we were able to hit a ton of things! But it didn't start without a bit, I mean a TON of rain.

We had planned it all out so that after Maya got out of school on a Tuesday at 11 am we would head up to my parent's house so I could work, we'd spend the night and the head straight to Disneyland first thing the next morning. Well, we woke up Wednesday morning to complete downpour! We decided to skip Disneyland that day head home because Maya had to go to school on Thursday. Thursday after school we rushed back up to Disneyland and didn't leave until 11:00 pm!

Maya got to go on her first roller coaster and then after that we couldn't slow her down. That girl went on Matterhorn-twice, Splash Mountain-twice, and Thunder Mountain-twice! She also got to learn how to act like a lady with the Princesses. Then she got to meet three princesses, Cinderella, Snow White, and Ariel, where she got to talk to them, get their autograph, and take a picture with them!

Teagen got to go on rides too! Just her and Mommy went on Winnie the Pooh while Daddy and Maya were on Splash Mountain. Teagen also got to go on It's a small world once with just Daddy and another time with all of us! One of our favorite rides was Pirates of the Caribbean. But we loved the parade, the light show and especially the SNOW!!

Big surprise . . . Maya made friends with the people in the front row. (You'd think getting there 45 minutes early would be enough, but apparently not!)
