A Day at Disneyland

We spent the day at Disneyland yesterday. When I say we spent the day, I mean we literally spent the day there. Something we rarely do since we have annual passes. We've done it on special occassions like when out of town family is here, but we generally only stay a couple of hours. Yesterday we went with our good friends, who are also our neighbors. We left our houses at 7:00am and got home half past midnight!!! We had a wonderful day. We did sooo much and took advantage of the Fastpass system and the Child Switch system. Because of that, we were able to get on all the big, "aka" good rides, at least once, if not several times. Hannah is tall enough for every ride at Disneyland, so we're always asking, bribing, begging her to go on, at least try, a good ride. Well yesterday she did! She rode Space Mountain and loved it! Even when asked today if she'll go on it again, the answer is yes, with a smile. We tried to get her on another good ride, but trying one was enough for one day. LOL.

"Hi Gramma, guess what I rode?"
It's been over 4 years since Emily and Kayla had been to Disneyland. Now, both older and willing to try new rides and meet the characters. It was a lot of fun getting to act as their personal tour guides and share some of the magic that we get to experience fairly often. We sat for the parade, and staked out good seats for the fireworks show, in addition to experiencing Fantasmic. We didn't leave the park until well after 11:00pm. We spent over 12 hours at Disneyland, and still didn't get to some of things we had hoped to show them!

Here is Hannah, at the end of our day, totally worn out.
