Disneyland

October 2, 2008

We took the family to Disneyland for an entire day excursion! The whole place was decorated for Halloween and Fall and it looked awesome!! Nothing gets you pumped up for the holidays like the Disney decorating committee! (: I am still trying to recruit them to come to my house to do some holiday decorating :)

Ryker, of course, loved every minute of it! He loves the Bug's Land in California Adventure- the balloons, the lady bug cups, the chew chew train, and the water area where the water squirts him. He was pretty sad that he was too small for the bumper cars- maybe next year! But daddy did take him on the tea cups a few times- Grammy and I were wondering if he was trying to make him puke. We decided once Ryker is 42 inches tall (he is 35" right now) we would have to take him to Disneyland for his birthday for a 2 day excursion so he could go on all the "big boy" rides. Until then- it's Dumbo and the railroad for us! :) Daddy got worn out HOURS before Ryker did. That little boy has some serious energy!! Ryker was scared to death of Mickey and Minnie- it was hilarious!!! He was trying desperately to escape from their sight. We would tell him that he needed to say "good-bye" first so he would yell "Bye Mee-Mouse" "Bye Minnie" and then try to escape- ha ha! It made for some cute photos :)

Everett even joined us on a couple rides too when he wasn't sleeping. He snoozed quite a bit while we were there! But he is such a laid back and tolerant baby that he couldn't care less what we were doing. We were questioning bringing him since he is only 3 months- but while we were there, we saw babies even younger! Some looked pretty fresh- like they came straight from the hospital! Yikes!

Now that we have season passes, I am sure we will have many more trips to Disneyland in the near future. Especially as the weather gets cooler... nothing worse than getting cooked in the sun all day!
