Disneyland!

Yesterday we took a trip to the happiest place on earth…yes, the beloved Disneyland.  Kylie has been sooo excited to go here since we moved to Anaheim.  I really was not wanting to go during UEA, but Austin thought it might be the only day we could go (I refuse to go on the weekend).  When we first got there, ALL the cool rides were closed.  I mean every single awesome “big person” ride was closed.  So that in turn made the lines for the kiddy rides extremely long.  The first half of the day, I was not really enjoying myself.  But after I realized that this day was about making Kylie happy, not me, it got better Smile  The other rides opened up again and we were able to go on almost all the rides we wanted to.  I really can’t even imagine what that place is like in the summer.  Pure insanity I’m sure.  Must say, I loved the Fast Passes, Baby swaps, and single rider rides.  Made things go sooo much faster!  I did a single rider on the Indiana Jones ride.  10 seconds into it, the ride shut down.  We sat in the dark for about 5 minutes and then the lights came on and we sat for another 15 or so.  I was right under a cooling vent and froze my butt off.  So I was kind of miffed because it was only suppose to take like 15 min total to ride the ride and get back to Austin and the girls.  Ended up taking almost an hour.  When the ride finally started working again, they let us ride again, so that was nice.  I LOVED the Haunted Mansion and Splash Mountain.  The Jungle Ride was great.  Had a hilarious tour guide who made cheesy jokes throughout the ride.  Kylie loved all the fast roller coasters.  After one of the rides she goes, “Mom, that was so freaking awesome!”  (Yes, I know, I need to be better at telling her not to say freaking because it is becoming a part of her everyday vocab Smile).  Kylie got to meet Snow White, Goofy, and Mickey Mouse.  She was sooo shy meeting Mickey.  It was so cute though. Kylie loved It’s a Small World.  She kept saying she wanted to go back on it, but I think I would have to shoot myself.  It was cool and all, but that song being played over and over and over…Instant insanity.  Anyway, at the end of the day Austin said that we should come back here one more time before we move.  I was like, “Wha, wha, what?  Really!”  I’m holding him to that Smile  Really wish it wasn’t so much money for one day.  All in all, it was a great day and I really hope we get to go back in a few weeks.

Loved capturing her face on this ride.  She LOVED spinning faster and faster.  I’m getting sick just thinking about it…

Didn't that Indiana Jones ride feel like you were going to fly out of your seat? When Matthew and I went I was jerked around so much I started laughing hysterically and couldn't breathe.
Ok, maybe we will have to go to disneyland too.....
