Disneyland: Day 2


Day 2 we went to California Adventure.

Alice's favorite princess right now is Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) so she chose to where that dress.  And though I brought her a change of clothes, she was more than happy to wear it all day.

I did a little Disney Bounding again with a blue top, blue headband and black ribbon around my neck in honor of Cinderella :)




The exciting event for the day was a breakfast with the princesses at Ariel's Grotto.


Jane doesn't have any princess dresses so we went with Minnie :)


We sat down for breakfast and different princesses came out and talked with us and took pictures.

Alice was SO excited!  It was so fun watching her with them.








Another carousel :)


Her favorite was a very slow Bug's Life caterpillar ride.


She liked the ferris wheel a lot too.




I was a little surprised when she said she wanted to go on this ride with my dad, but she did fine.



While they were doing that, Stephen and my mom went to ride the big roller coaster since my dad's back was bothering him and I can't while pregnant.

Then we got some cotton candy.



It took a minute to convince Jane that it was something to eat but once she tasted it, she needed no more convincing :)


Meeting Chip and Dale.




Jane finally found the perfect "ride" for her.


Meeting Pluto.


Alice said she wanted to go on this ride but it was pretty fast and she ended up screaming the whole time.  Thankfully she got over the trauma pretty fast.


Meeting Lightning McQueen.


We bought her a bubble wand that they were selling everywhere to keep them entertained while we waited for the parade.  What we didn't know when we bought it was that it plays music while it does the bubbles which is kinda annoying (Under the Sea) but they had a blast with it. (It did stop working after a couple days, though that may be due to Jane dunking it in the dogs water bowl)




When the music started for the parade, Alice started dancing like crazy.



She was a happy girl (she doesn't have an underbite by the way, she was just being silly)


It was another fun and successful Disney day.  Thanks Mom and Dad for a unforgettable and magical experience!

The next morning we flew back to Louisiana but not before Alice got another fun experience of getting to sit in the plane's cockpit and meet the pilot.




Unfortunately we spent the last 2 weeks since getting back with rotating sicknesses.  Stephen had a cold while at Disneyland, then I got it when we got home, then Jane spent a couple days throwing up.  Then Alice spent a couple days with a fever, then Jane had a fever a couple of days and tongue sores that make me think it may have been Hand, Foot and Mouth.  Then, Stephen got it!  (Which is rare for an adult).  We are finally all better now.

And Alice is daily singing "It's a small world" to remind us of our trip :)
