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!
