Disneyland

We love Disneyland! It is near impossible to cram two full days there into one short blog, not to mention only 5 pictures. So here are a few favorites. The first is Will meeting Mickey for the first time, which he loved. On our second day there, shortly after the park opened we were approached by a park employee just wanting to get to know us. I held my breathe hoping that maybe we would win a night in the Dream Suite (I've heard they randomly select guests to bestow this privilege upon;) but we didn't win that prize. However, she discovered that my girls loved the princesses, and invited us to a special meet and greet in the princess garden with Snow White. Ironically, between lunch at Ariel's Grott and Trick or Treating the night before, we had seen every princess except Snow White, so the Baller girls were ecstatic!

Snow White was super sweet with my girls. She spent almost 15 minutes with them, talking about dancing, sleep overs, and being best friends. She inquired all about school and where they were from. She made them feel so special and it was really priceless!

We have been to Disneyland or World 4 times and have never seen Donald Duck. He is the one character Katie was determined to "find." That is one of her biggest, brightest smiles, despite sheer exhaustion. I must note that the other two kiddos were fast asleep, as it was 10 pm and we were closing down the park!
I love that there was a ride that our whole family could ride together. A kind employee saw our camera and even offered to take a picture, which surprisingly turned out great!
We were surprised at Syd's determination to go on every ride. There was no hesitation, not even for the Tower of Terror. They actually look quite calm in this picture, but check out the lady in the red behind them!
