WE SURVIVED DISNEYLAND!!! Yes, that is right! We are home from our week at Disney Land in CA! Boy, was it wild, crazy and tons of fun. :) The girls really enjoyed all the magic of Disney and so did Mom and Dad!
We managed to see all the characters Disney had to offer and not only fill one autograph book for each girl but two books! We have signatures everywhere! We met most of them at Character Dinings, but ran into a few in the park too. Lillian and Lydia were so fascinated with the characters during the meal times that they managed to eat one bite at each meal. That is right...we paid $34.99 an adult and managed to eat one bite of food! Each meal lasted 5 minutes and then we spent the rest of the time listening to Lillian, "When are they coming to my table?" I don't see how the girls survived on such little food! :) And yes, I am in most of those pictures. Not by choice! You all know I HATE pictures of myself, but Lydia wouldn't do it without me! Funny enough, Lydia only warmed up to Chip and Dale! I think it is because they have cheeks like hers! :)
We hit all the rides the park had to offer including fireworks each and every night. We didn't make it to bed until almost 11:00pm most nights and Lillian was up by 6:00am faithfully! She didn't want to miss a step! And we really did run from ride to ride, did the switching off option at the rides and made the most of every minute!
I will say CA is beautiful! I have never been there and it was gorgeous! The weather was amazing and because both kiddos were napping daily I managed to get in two runs. Running in CA was awesome and so different then the heat of TX. I enjoyed being out doors there and would love to see more of CA on another trip. This was enough for all of us!
Lillian enjoyed Bippity Boppity Boo the most! She was turned into a Princess! The fairy godmother told her, "Once you are a princess, then you are always a princess!" Like she needed to hear that! She spent the rest of the trip wearing the princess hair and telling everyone she was a Princess- A REAL PRINCESS!! Too cute! Lillian also rode all the big rides- Splash Mountain, Big Thunder and Space Mountain! She loved riding all the grown up rides! She said all the Princesses were her favorite!
Lydia enjoyed it all and was engrossed in it all too! She loved the Tea Cups, Dumbo and Carousel rides. And the fireworks were amazing too her! She just watching intently and then Tinker Bell and Dumbo flew over our heads and she was blown away! Lydia really hung in there like a big girl and enjoyed it all with her sister. She managed to keep in step with all of us running a hundred miles an hour!
We made it home and the girls are sleeping now. They are exhausted! And as you can see from the picture taken on the plane, mommy was too! That was taken after Lydia had screamed for two hours! But, we are home and the magic of Disney is still with us! Love you all!
Love,
Julie
