Visitors and DisneyLand

Rich, Heather, Tyler and Ainsley came for a quick trip to California. We were so excited to have some visitors. They came and hung out at our apartment for a day giving them a chance to relax. We did some shopping at Heather's favorite store H&M and spent some time in the hot tub. They have both been uber busy so hopefully they were able to enjoy a little bit of down time in their packed trip. We also spent a day at DisneyLand - which was mine and Chris' first time there since we've been here.

Heather and Ainsley. I couldn't believe how big Ainsley is. She is one of the cutest little girls out there.

What is DisneyLand without some Mickey Mouse ears.

Rich and Tyler at Tinkerbell's house. Tyler was so excited to see all of the fairy homes and everything associated with the Tinkerbell movie. When the light parade came around Rich hoisted Tyler onto his shoulders so he could see all of the characters come by. Tyler was so cute waving at everyone. He was especially excited to see Woody and Buzz.

Chris and I had to wait around a bit to meet up with everyone so we went and hung out with Santa's reindeer in FrontierLand.

All we did in Toon Town was get some yummy pizza and use the bathroom.

It's a Small World, but all dressed for Christmas. It was great to have the 'It's a Small World' song broken up with Christmas carols so it wasn't so monotonous. This is one of the few rides Tyler didn't get scared on. He was trying to hard to talk Richard out of taking him on Pirates of the Caribbean before he even got through the line. His favorite ride was Winnie the Pooh. I think because it ends with everyone throwing Pooh a birthday party and Tyler loves birthday parties. We actually went on it twice.

I have to say that going to DisneyLand with Rich and Heather with their kids and Heather's friend Erin and their kids, was a learning experience. It convinced Chris and I that we probably won't be taking our kids to Disney until they no longer need naps in the middle of the day, and until they are old enough to know what Disney is and they actually ask to go. And, when we do go, it will be in the middle of January on a Tuesday - supposedly the slowest time of the year. So, it will be a while before we even have to worry about it.
