Disneyland - Day 2

Here's Day 2 of Disneyland.

We started out the morning by going to breakfast with Mickey.  It was a bunch of fun.  Not only did Lily get to spend some more time with Mickey, but she also got to meet, Pluto, Daisy, Max, Stitch, and she got to see Minnie again.  She enjoyed seeing all of them, except for Stitch (you'll see proof below!).  She was so funny, while the characters where there with her she was super quiet and shocked they were there.  As soon as they walked off she would just start jabbering about the character she just saw.  It was hilarious!  At least I know she was enjoying them ;)

And now for the pictures...
David and Lily all snuggled up together.

they are so much alike, it's scary!

saying Good Morning to Mickey



Mickey signing her card....all the characters signed it for her!

Mickey was being silly, pulling the card away every time she tried to grab it

Pluto

Max - he's Goofy's son

this is her funny face...crazy girl

Daisy (Lily looks so old in this picture and I don't like it!)

Minnie

Stitch--she screamed "no" the whole time he was at our table!


Ashlee and Lily - Lily was very proud of all of her buttons

DISNEYLAND!!!!

First, let me apologize for so many pictures.  But it's Disneyland and there is so much to capture!

Ashlee and my dad flew in Saturday morning into LAX.  We decided it would be lots of fun for all of us to spend the weekend at Disneyland.  We all have been to both Disneyland and Disney World, but this was the first time for Lily.  She is pretty obsessed with Mickey, so it was fun to see her reaction to all the mickeys!

Lily did pretty well at the parks, but she was pretty scared on quite a few rides.  You forget how some of the rides are, and you don't think of how scary they will be for a 2 year old who doesn't fully understand what is going on.  So many rides are in the dark, and she wasn't too terribly fond of that.  Also, since she is so tall for her age, she was able to ride a few rides most other kids her age probably couldn't - like bumper cars.  We have one day left on our passes, so I think we will stick to outdoor rides when we go back :)

Now on to the pictures!  I am going to post each day individually so it's not so many pictures in one post.

Ok. Quick story to go with the following Mickey pictures.  We were standing outside of one of the stores, when all of the sudden Mickey came up to us.  Lily was in her stroller with the shade pulled over her. Mickey motioned to the stroller to see if he could say hi to her.  We went over and got Lily out and then we got to spend some special time with Mickey.  It was so neat, and Lily really enjoyed it, and we got a wonderful family picture out of it too!
