Our Disneyland Trip in October

In October we took a really fun family vacation to California. We spent an afternoon on the beach, and 5 days in the Disney parks. Our friends the Murdocks were there for part of the same time, so it was fun to see them as well. Here are some of our cute pictures:


Here we are at the beach, our first afternoon in California. We thought it would be fun to have a picnic lunch on the sand. Bad idea. It was not very warm, and it was super WINDY! We ended up having a pretty good time (despite the sand in our eyes and food), playing in the sand and wading in the water. Elise especially liked that part of our trip.

King Arthur's Carousel was probably Lydia's second favorite ride. It was the first thing she tried, and she loved it. And then it stopped moving and she had a fit, lol.






Lydia's favorite ride of all was probably the new Nemo submarine ride. This was my view throughout most of our first voyage:




Elise claimed that her favorite rides were Monsters, Inc. and "the mountain ride" (Matterhorn). She was just a hair over the height requirement for that one, woohoo!

The other highlight of Elise's Disneyland experience was the new Princess Fantasy Faire. She got to meet a "real princess" (we did not wait in the 90 min. line to meet the princesses fom the movies, but we did meet the "princess" who was passing out these crowns.) Elise was just starstruck, it was so cute.

This is us on Main Street. I made the Mickey Mouse tie dye shirts we are all wearing. It was my first experience with tie dye, but they turned out pretty nice. We got a lot of comments on them!
