Disneyland...again...

We drove down to Disneyland this weekend for a quick visit. We left right after school on Friday, stopped in Brea for dinner, and arrived at our hotel around six. We headed right over to Disneyland. We rode several rides and stayed late for the fireworks.

All of us at Mr. Toad's Wild Ride...
Carsyn was so excited because she was finally able to go on Thunder Mountain. However, once we had boarded the train, she had second thoughts. But, she ended up liking it somewhat because she wanted to go again.

"Maybe this wasn't such a good idea..." said Carsyn.

We spent all day at the park on Saturday. The girls found some newborn baby ducklings in the pond outside of the castle. They spent forever watching them and trying to entice them to come.

Duck watching...

with Ariel...
The girls wanted to see the princess so we went over to the Princess Fair. We were approached by a cast member who asked the girls if they would like a private meeting with Princess Minnie and Belle. Would they? They were so excited. Carsyn would not stop talking to Belle. We must have been in the room with them for twenty minutes. It was so great. Maren even branched out this time and gave Belle a hug. She was still a little nervous about the over sized mouse. Afterward we saw Belle walking away with Mulan and she was telling her about the cute little girls she just met and some of the things that they were talking about. It was so neat.

Five princesses: Minnie, Logan, Carsyn, Maren, and Belle...
After a few more rides, we headed over to California Adventure for dinner. We ate at the Napa restaurant and it was really good. Right after dinner the girls wanted ice cream. But they fell asleep in the stroller, so we just went back to our room.

We got an early start Sunday morning so we could go to mass before going to the park. We stayed at Disneyland until about three in the afternoon, before we had to get in the car and head home. It was a great weekend and a great Mother's Day.

The carousel was up and running again...

Is that a celebrity?

Gotta have a castle shot...


Happy Mother's day to our Mom, Nana, all other Mom's out there!
