California!!

*WARNING: Picture overload!*

We just back from the “Happiest Place on Earth,” and we absolutely loved it!! My Aunt Shirl was nice enough to invite us to go with her family. I went a little early with her and then Greg joined us later on in the week for Disneyland. Ellie surprisingly was the best I have ever seen her on a vacation! It was weird. :) (By the end of the week she started showing signs of the Ellie I know and love. :) )

The first day we went to the beach. Ellie loved it! She had so much fun chasing/running away from waves, chasing birds, and playing in the sand. Her hair tie broke so the poor girl had to deal with her crazy hair the whole time.

My Uncle Robert hooked us up with this awesome shade umbrella. It put my little one to shame. :)

My little white Macy had to stay under it the whole time. :)

The next day we went to the San Diego Zoo. My Aunt Lynda had a couple free passes which was a huge bonus! I loved that zoo, but by the end of the day I was SO tired. Pushing a double stroller in the heat all day wore me out!

After we left San Diego we headed up to Anaheim to meet everyone else for Disneyland!! We spent three days there and loved every second of it! I took a ton of pictures, but here are a few of my favorites…

This is how Greg spent a lot of the time…doing business on his phone! He even managed to send emails while going in circles on the carousal. Talented man!

 

Ellie was really scared of the characters at first. Notice her face in each of these pictures. She got better with each one until she finally hugged Chip and Dale and stood all by herself! A true miracle!

 

The princesses were her favorite part. Marie and I didn’t want to stand in line for hours just to see them so we paid money to have lunch with them. I must say that it was the best money I have ever spent! :) She was in HEAVEN!!

I love the picture of Ellie and Snow White because she is looking at the little picture of Snow White on her dress. She couldn’t believe that she was actually standing next to THE Snow White.

 

Macy joined in on the fun the next day. I loved this Ariel! She was awesome!

Here are the girls on the train.

We had so much fun!! Thanks again Aunt Shirl!! I’m already thinking about my next trip back there…don’t tell Greg. :)
