"The Happiest Place on Earth!"

As stated earlier I've been wanting to go to Disneyland since the day Elle was born. I always see everyone else's trips to Disneyland on the blog and I'm always so jealous. After I saw one of our friends second go around to the happiest place on earth I thought okay...it's our turn. It's funny that Toby always wanted to wait till Elle was a little older and now that we've taken her and we were able to watch her face we're already planning our next trip:) We were in California for 5 days and we fit everything we could into those 5 days. We went to St. George, went swimming, stayed in a beach house in Laguna Beach (Thanks P and Melissa! We owe you one), went to an Angels game, layed around the beach, went shopping at Venice Beach, Disneyland twice, and California Adventure. The first day at Disneyland it was just our little family...the four of us. But we were a little concerned that Tob and I wouldn't be able to do a whole lot or go on any of the bigger rides so my parents saved the day and flew in to go with us the second day and help out with the kids. It was perfect! They got to see the kids and we got to take off a little bit and enjoy being together. I can't believe all the things they've added to DL! The longest line we stood in was to meet the "Princesses" but i think it was also the one that was the most worth the wait. Elle got to meet Belle and seeing her smile made the whole trip for us. We just loved it. I think my Dad is the reason Tob threw in an Angels game at the last minute. Those two really enjoy baseball so that was awesome to get to go and watch that...the firework show after was the best I'd ever seen. Here I am recalling all the fun and memories that we made...and then it just hit me. I've got about 5 loads of laundry and a whole house of cleaning to catch up on. Ahhh- but it was sure fun.

The picture with Elle and Belle is priceless! I am convinced that you have to go to Disneyland when you kids are little even if they don't remember it. It's truly magical to them at that stage. Just think in a few years they will be totally over the princesses and just want the thrill. Now that is a sad note to end with isn't it???

Glad you had fun. Can't wait to hear all the details.

Looks like you had a great time at Disney. Elle with the Belle is the best! She looks like she's on cloud 9...Angels game looks fun too.....Isn't the laundry the worst part about traveling? Call me when the catch up chores are done!
