Perfect typical family picture in front of
"The Happiest Place On Earth"!!!
Mommy and Daddy took us on a surprise trip to Disneyland and
boy-o-boy, we were totally super surprised!!! Follow along on our adventure into
the magical kingdom with friends ...
Tons and tons of sleepless excitement the night
before our big road trip out to see Mickey ...
... here is a video of us goofing around
on our long sleepless night ....
... at least on the road Emery could stretch
out and relax during the long car trip ...
... and Avery did too, as long as she had all her
accessories and animals for the trip!!!
After a whole day strapped down in the car,
we burnt off some pent-up energy
with our friends Gianna and Lexi ...
... we kids had so much fun that night
Daddy came up with a little song about it ...
T'was the night before Disneyland,
where the kids were just going nuts;
parents with headaches already,
self medicating with full red sippy
cups!!!
Today is the day!!!
Emery mapping out our first full Disneyland day ...
... and of course we used the safest stroller methods known!!!
We met a lot of the Disney crew,
such as Minnie Mouse ...
... and Princess Sophie ...
... here's a video of us with Princess Sophie ...
... and a bouncing Tigger in Hundred Acre Woods ...
... and even Santa Clause was
hanging around in Disneyland too!!!!
Our first ride of the day was The Flying Dumbo ...
Mommy, with Avery as her copilot ...
... and our friend Lexi with her Mommy ...
... while Emery was not too sure what to
think about for that crazy Dumbo ride!!!
The second ride, Spinning TeaCups, was
something Emery was initially not too happy about ...
... that is until it started spinning and spinning
and spinning and got us all super-duper dizzy ...
... well, Avery felt that the super-duper
spinning was just a wee-bit too fast!!!
All the kids were super gung-ho into exploring everything ...
... we took trains everywhere
and saw the whole park ...
... sometimes even choosing to just go around in a circle to see
the same thing over and over and over again!!!
We even took boat rides into mysterious and magical worlds ...
... such as "It's A Small World"!!!
Here are a few videos while in the "Small World" ride ... listen to all of those Christmas songs!!!
... and here's another ...
Emery gave "It's A Small World" a big thumbs-up!!!
We next headed into outer space to shoot at invading aliens ...
... then climbed into the Swiss Family Robinson's
tree-house camp and kitchen ...
... here's a video of us all having
a good time in the makeshift kitchen ...
... there were tons of fun stuff to do like
climbing ropes and turning cranks ...
... here's a video of Emery turning all those cranks ...
... and even playing on tons of makeshift musical instruments!!!
Then it was off for some real road racing ...
... Daddy had his feet on the petals
(since ours didn't really reach)!!!
But every now and then,
someone needed to stop for a break ...
... and sometimes even needed
to be carried for awhile ...
... although that always quickly
spread to all the kids!!!
Then it was time for the big town parade, so
we relaxed on the sidewalks and watched ...
... dancing snowmen ...
... dancing Clarabelle Cow ...
... Mickey and Minnie Mouse ...
... Goofy being goofy,
with Pluto stuck up on the roof ...
... waving Princess Elsa ...
... dancing Princess Anna and Olaf ...
... and even a close-up of Santa!!!
Then we went to "Cars" Town where
there was so much bright neon ...
... we had to put our sunglasses on ...
... and hats to block out all of those colorful lights!!!
And we went on crazy Cars rides in super big floating tires ...
... Daddy and Emery zooming all around ...
... everyone was cruising everywhere!!!
And then as nighttime started,
we all knew what it was time for ...
... the Magical Kingdom of Lights and Fireworks!!!
There were tons and tons of crowds,
all waiting around for the big fireworks show,
so time for pictures of ...
... "tired of standing around" parents ...
... special "Daddy and Daughter" moments ...
... and then one of all these crazy kids!!!
Waiting around for the fireworks show
had a strange effect on all the kids ...
... the "crashing-hard dead-tired" effect!!!
Emery even passed out in the stroller both nights!!!
A super fun Disneyland Christmas trip with great friends!!!
Thanks Mommy and Daddy!!!
... and Emery got new bath toys along with a Pete The Cat doll!!!
