On our way to Disneyland!
Disneyland! I think this is so true. We just got back from two fun filled days at Disneyland. We left at 5:00am on Wed. morning to get there in time for the gates to open. It's about a 5 hour drive from our house. It was the most perfect beautiful day to spend there with the temperatures about 78 degrees during the day. Michael's mom and dad came with us. It was nice to have some help, especially if we wanted to go on a big ride. As I said, Wednesday was beautiful and Thursday started out that way. We had been watching the news and knew that a big storm was headed our way. Sure enough, around 1:00pm it started to sprinkle on us. It wasn't too bad for a couple hours but then it started to pour rain. We were prepared with our ponchos but after about an hour in the rain I knew it was time to go back to the hotel. We stayed in a hotel within walking distance to the park so Michael's dad and I walked the kids back. Michael and his mom stayed and got in a few more rides. We didn't want to go back to the park in the rain so we all went over to the mall and walked around that evening. When we got back to the hotel it was about 20 minutes until the park closed so Michael and I left the kids with their grandparents and ran, I mean RAN, over to get one more ride on Space Mountain.
Even with the rain it was a great trip full of memories created. Ellie's favorite rides were Dumbo and Pirates. She kept asking if she could ride on Dumbo. Emma was able to go on every ride too and she was so observant, looking around at everything. They were both real good. We managed to get a majority of the rides we went on taped so we made a DVD when we got home. I'm sure this will be Ellie's new favorite movie.
I KNOW! Ellie has crazy hair again. I just can't seem to tame it. It has a mind of its own. Emma and Ellie don't share a bed but Emma loves to climb into bed with Ellie and Ellie loves to climb in bed with Emma. I took this picture because they were wearing matching P.J.'s and I thought it was cute. Also, it's one of those cute sister moments I try to capture for when they are older. When I look back at my baby and toddler pictures, Allison is in almost all of them. I guess we were together all the time. I hope that they will always stay close to one another.
