Our Disney Adventure!

We thought that we would share a few of the pictures and highlights from our trip. We really had a great time! I wish that our time there didn't go by quit so fast.

Day 1--Alyvia's first airplane ride!
I was amazed at how well Alyvia did on the airplane. It was a 1 hr 25 min, and she did super the whole way. A movie and snacks seemed to keep her busy. We saw Elder Bednar and Elder Anderson in the airport that morning. That was kind of a highlight!

Day 2--California Adventure
The Shows here were absolutley amazing! I loved High School Musical (That one was for you Chad & Tay) and Alladin! I could have watched them over and over!

Meeting Cinderella was pretty neat. Alyvia ran up to her with open arms. Cinderella was so sweet to her!





Just a few pictures from the Pixar Parade in California Adventure. We loved it!

Day 3--Walking through Downtown Disney

Brady & Alyvia being silly in the pool.


This giraffe is made completely out of legos. Right up Brady's ally!

Enjoying our ice cream treat!

Day 4--1st Day of Disneyland

Alyvia wasn't too sure about Goofy! She thought he was more funny from a distance.



Riding the Dumbo ride with Alyvia was a real treat! She laughed the whole time!



Day 5--2nd Day of Disneyland

Finally we found Mickey Mouse!!

TOON TOWN

The Tea Cups were super fun.


Alyvia loved the little Rabbits house from Alice in Wonderland!







Just some of our Disney Cuisine.



Alyvia just couldn't wait to pull out her new doll set of Minnie, Mickey, Pluto, Goofy and Donald Duck. So there she was playing with them on the side walk! It sure kept her busy. (Don't mind Brady's happy face, he really is having a great time.)



Main Street Disney our last night there. It really was spectacular!






Day 6 -- Just Gettin Home.

This is on our way home waiting in the airport. Alyvia loved to watch all the action out the window. I'd say we had pretty good seats for that show!

We've been looking forward to this trip for a couple of months. Brady's parents and Grandma Workman were able to go with us. They were great travel buddies. They were such good sports to help so much with Alyvia and let Brady and I go on ton of the super cool rides. Nap time helped with this, and thank goodness Alyvia napped well in her stroller. I think we all could have done with out the earth quake while we were down there. Let's just say it shook us up a bit. Bill, Diane, and Grandma, we appreciate you very much and were so glad you were able to come along. Thanks for an unforgettable trip! Alyvia and I will always remember our first time to Disneyland!



These are the souvenirs we ended up with. I loved Alyvia's Mickey Ears, and that they embroidered her name on the back. She'll have those forever! OK the pink fish has a funny story. I hope you don't all think that we would buy our daughter a kind of funny looking thing, but Brady Alyvia and I were sitting on a bench eating a churro waiting for Bill, Diane, and Grandma to come out of the Aladdin show, and a cute family with teenage kids came up to us and asked if Alyvia would like this little fish ( I think it's supposed to be a girl version of Nemo ) any way Alyvia's face lit up and we couldn't say no. It is kinda cute. Supposedly the son had just won it and didn't want to carry it around, so Alyvia scored on that one.

How fun! Brings back so many memories! We went when Caleb was only 4 months old...I don't recommend that. Much better when they are older. Looks like you had a great time!

I love disneyland! Looks like you guys had too much fun. I have friend that lives close to there and she said the earthquake was 5.0 I bet it was pretty scary, if you've never been in one before!

We went last year in August the girls had a blast and Dumbo was Kenzie's favorite. Michelle loved all the roller coasters.

It looks like they changed the parades since we have been there.

We also had an earthquake we had been off the plane long enough to get our rental and drive out of the airport and then it happened I guess it was welcome to California

I always love hearing that get to go to Disneyland I love it there
