Disneyland, at last! First impressions

We met Mickey within 10 minutes of being in the park - a good beginning!

Our first ride - the rockets. This remained their favorite ride.


Mom, Megan, me, Symantha and Hailey with Mickey



Hailey checking it all out - the sun was just going down and it was beautiful




We were so excited!

I love Disneyland. Yes, there are lots of people and often long lines, but going in November makes that much less of a problem. Even though I had been there 5 or 6 times before, this was my first time taking my own children, which was such a different and wonderful experience! The big girls and I went with my mom and sister (Megan) for 3 nights, and it was such a great trip. Symantha (6) and Hailey (4) were the perfect age for all the magic of princesses, castles, Mickey and Minnie, Tinkerbell, and the other host of characters we were able to see. Plus, it was like stepping back into summer, with 75-80 degree weather - a nice change from the current downpours of Seattle! We missed Daddy and Addison, but Daddy had a work hunting trip and Addi is just not the best age for Disneyland.

I took over 300 pictures and videos (I know, not very many for 4 days, huh? Ha!), so choosing a few to highlight our trip is a little difficult! But I'll break these blog entries into days, and show a few pictures from each.
