The happiest place on earth!

We spent the end of our vacation going to the best local attraction we could think of... DISNEYLAND! We drove up for a day and met with some of our favorite characters and it was just awesome!! The kids were so excited to see real life Mickey and gang... I think they were often star struck.


Funny enough the kids had NO problem running up to Cruella D'Ville... we haven't seen 101 Dalmatians yet, perhaps that's why?



Everyone LOVES Goofy!



We even ran into another celebrity, Santa! He was standing behind us waiting for the Dumbo ride. Brielle was the first to spot the jolly guy, tugging on my shirt to "tell me a secret". When she said she saw Santa I thought she meant someone else, like someone from the Disney channel perhaps, but she quickly corrected me insisting "IT'S SANTA!!". Imagine my surprise when I turned around! He says this is what he does on his down time a lot. So remember kids, Santa is always watching, no matter where you are.

We got this one shot of Brielle finally squeezing Mickey. Bryan wanted nothing to do with the big cheese.

The longest part of our day was spent waiting to meet the princesses.

Brielle was acting so cheesy!

I honestly don't know who enjoyed meeting the princesses more, Brielle or Big J? I might have to watch out for that mouse!
