Before heading to California, Ivan thought Emery was too young to really enjoy Disneyland. I was convinced that she was the perfect age and would love it. I was praying that I would be right because if I wasn't, I would have never lived it down. But, like we all know, a mother's instinct is right and Emery loved Disneyland and California Adventure!
The first day we were heading to Disneyland. The plan was to meet there at 9a. Ivan got up to go to the gym and when he got back, the girls were still sleeping and I was getting ready. He filled me in on the fact that it was pouring outside. We had great weather the entire time we were in California, except for our first day at Disneyland. We decided to wait a few hours and got to Disneyland around noon. It was disappointing that we lost a few hours of play time, but the weather ended up being perfect and there was hardly anyone at Disneyland. Most lines were only 15-20 minutes and we had a blast.
Day 1 - Disneyland
This was towards the end of the day. I just love how Emery is so relaxed and chillin in her stroller.
Emery loved the Michael Jackson 3-D show. She kept reaching her arms out trying to catch the animals that were in 3-D.
Day 2 - California Adventure
Emery was totally mesmerized by Snow White. She couldn't take her eyes off of her and was in shock that she was that close to a real princess. She did lean over to give Snow White a kiss - it was the most adorable thing ever.
Ivan and Makayla were on bumper cars that Emery was too little for, so my mom took Emery on this ride that goes in constant circles. Neither one of us knew how she would do, but she loved it.
California Adventure had a huge kids "playground" type thing. I think this was Emery's favorite part of the entire trip. She had Ivan running through the playground for hours - literally. She wasn't scared of anything and was running across wobbly bridges that older kids were scared of. Both Emery and Ivan got a good workout in the playground.
Emery is my little Ms. Independent. Why would she want to ride in the stroller when she can stand behind it and push it??
We had a great trip to California and can't wait to go again next year.
