The Happiest Place on Earth!

We survived Disneyland! It was a blast. Jim, Jeni, Jared, Myles, and I left Friday afternoon for California. We got to Steve and Jackie's house around 7 pm to eat a delicious garlic chicken dinner Jackie had prepared. Then after a short visit, we were off to bed to get a good night's sleep for our early morning drive to Disneyland. Saturday morning, we were up and on our way, stopping for donuts and juice, we got to Disneyland as soon as they opened. Good idea. It wasn't bad at all, we got on Pirates of the Carribean and Thunder Mountain with no waiting. At that point, it was warming up and our sweaters were coming off. I think it got to be about 80 degrees or so, which was just perfect! The crowds just kept piling in, so the Fastpass tickets became necessary... we couldn't miss Space Mountain, which we made Jim and Jeni ride too... (I don't think they enjoyed it as much as us "kids!") then to Honey I Shrunk the Audience. The loud volume was too much for Myles, so I covered his ears through the show. I did manage to get a cute snapshot of him wearing the 3D goggles though! Next was Toon Town, where on the way Myles thuroughly enjoyed the courosel. He repeatedly pet our horse, and when he saw himself in the mirrors, he laughed forcefully, as he waved at himself! It was pretty cute! A Roger Rabbit car ride was fun, which Myles sat so low he could hardly see anything, but still had fun. Splash Mountain is an all-time favorite, but I don't remember ever getting that wet! The Haunted Mansion was a time-taker, standing in line for about an hour was hardly worth the wait, but then at the end of our day, after the gigantic corndogs, the parades, and the random characters posing for pictures, on the way out, we did the Enchanted Tiki Room. Myles was so fascintated and pointed at all the big singing birds, the monkeys, and he danced to all the music the whole time. It was ADORABLE! We have such an amazing little boy, so full of life and personality and not afraid to be himself when he's having a good time. Why didn't we all dance in the Tiki Room? We were having a good time, so why not? Next time I will. I love you sweet Myles!
