D-land

We had a great time at Disneyland yesterday. I started the day thinking Lucy wouldn't make it past one hour in the park before one of us would have to leave with her, but Casey also pointed out that that has so much more of an impact on a child than missing the event entirely (better to have them see what fun it would be and then have to leave it). Lucy did pretty well, considering what "normal" has been the past week or 10 days. Still, I got plenty of these pictures (prompted by, "Lucy, smile!"):






After the lines to park and the lines to take the tram and the line to buy Nate's ticket, we went through the line to get in the park, and we made our way back to the teacups, which were a hit.




Everyone loved It's a Small World:





Even though it was a crowded day (spring break for some schools already), most of the lines for the children's rides weren't more than 30 minutes. The longest wait we endured was the line to meet the princesses, but it was sweet watching Nate and Lucy go up and meet them together.






We even found a place in the park that had fries Nate could eat. Woo hoo! After we ate dinner at that place, we decided to call it a day; Lucy and Nate were tired (Lucy especially--she's used to a 2-hour+ nap every day) and we had already spent 8 solid hours inside the park. We saved plenty to do for next time!

I can really see their personalities in these pictures!

That sounds like such fun but exhausting! Glad Lucy came around and realized it was fun. Great pictures. L&K N

Did you know the It's a Small World was moved to Disneyland from the 1963(or4) Worlds Fair in New York that both the McCanns and the Suhlings went to. YD and I both saw it there at age 10.

No way!!! You and he were destined to be together. ;)

I had no idea the ride didn't start off at Disneyland.
