All but Belle

We just got back from the "happiest place on earth!" We had so much fun. We debated about taking Avery to Disneyland because she's so young. We weren't sure she would like it, but boy were we wrong. She LOVED it. She was so excited to meet all of the princesses. We left Thursday afternoon and stayed through Sunday. On the way home, we stopped and saw some old friends! Thanks again for dinner and the visit, Chad and Michelle!

The next pictures are of Avery meeting all the characters. We saw all the princesses that Avery wanted to but Belle.

Meeting Snow White

Meeting Sleeping Beauty

Avery with Jasmine

Meeting Rapunzel.
Flynn Rider was there, but Avery didn't want him in her picture.

Meeting Tink and friend!

 Meeting Cinderella.
This is who Ave wanted to meet the very most! She was so excited we finally were able to find her!

 Meeting Ariel

More character visits. Lots of our time was spent doing this. Avery didn't like the "dark" rides.

The whole family with Mickey Mouse

 Avery and Minnie

Tigger, Winnie the Pooh and Avery

Eeyore and Ave

Fairy Godmother and Suzy.

Avery and Jessie

Family shot!

In Minnie's house

Just about to get on Dumbo!

Both kids fast asleep. This only happened twice!

All of the Halloween decorations were up! So much fun!


Josh's love!



It might look like all we did was meet characters on our trip, but we did ride some bigger rides too. We enjoyed Star Tours, Indiana Jones (Josh got stuck on the ride for about 20 minutes. It broke down and the finally got it going again!), and Soaring Over California.

We had the best time on our family vacation. Of course there were the melt downs from lack of naps and little sleep! Can't wait to go back again. Any takers for next year?

These pictures are so fun! Avery is so stinking cute.

I've never seen that dentist office. Where is it? I guess I've never really looked for it, either.

What a fun time for your family, especially Avery. You could sure tell which of the characters she enjoyed the most. Love GK

it looks like so much fun! I want to take Monroe soooo bad. Avery is such a doll.

I love it! Pictures look so good! We are takers! :) We've always wanted to go during Halloweentime. I love how you don't know Tink's friend, Rosetta. But very impressed you know Suzy the mouse...I didn't know that! :) Sleeping Beauty looked a little strange, but Avery sure was cute. Glad you guys had so much fun...and glad I had a part of talking you into going! So worth it, I think!

Anna said...

ha hahaha...Kylie corrected me...it's Vidia (or however you spell it, not Rosetta!) Ha ha!

What a fun trip! We went this time last year and the Halloween decorations really make it fun, huh! Avery is so dang cute with all the princesses! I love it!! You definitely are making me want to go back, again! I love it there!

Janessa said...

i want to go! ooh pick me!!
I'm so glad you had so much fun

Megan said...

YAY!!!! It looks like you were there just after we were. It really is the happiest place on earth! Avery is such a cutie and I really think that this age is fun for them to go. :)

Just in case you didn't know, Tinkerbell's "friend" is Vidia. She's a fast flying fairy that's kind of snotty and got an attitude. Maura is a big fan of the Tinkerbell movies and books.
Also, how cool would it be to go to dental school and be a dentist in Disneyland? That beats Vegas any day. We'd visit you guys way more!
Love the pictures, looks like you guys had a blast.

My head is about to explode from all the cuteness I just witnessed. SO much fun! I'm so glad she got to meet so many of the characters...did YOU get a picture with Flynn Rider so as not to hurt his feelings? Glad you went, glad you're back. You know us - we'll go ANY time!

(By the way, this is Michelle Richards, although I do agree with the Michelle above that Avery is "stinking cute!")
