Disneyland Part Deux!

Ok, here goes part 2 of the trip...with a little more explanation! I'll just explain by each pic and try to tie it all together at the end. :oD

The doll gets the royal treatment on this trip.

One of the many sleeping positions of Caitlin.

Another interesting position to sleep.

Alice (a.k.a. Abby) on her own ride.

Emma thinking she's the B.O.S.S. on Alice.

One of the classics! (Only now they're big enough to really spin the darn thing and about make me sick.)

Caitlin's 1st ride on Space Mountain. I was so worried she was going to hate me for taking her on it....

Caitlin's 300th time (ok..at least it seemed like it ;o) on Space Mountain. Turned out she loved it! She never put her hands down for a second! (Notice how I'm white-knuckled holding her leg to make sure she doesn't fly out?)

Last ride of our trip. Goodbye Dumbo!

Emma groovin' to the parade music.

Grandma Debbie and Gary just chillin'

Explanation of this close up:
So in several lines people doted on Emma like she was just the cutest chubby-cheeked baby they'd ever seen. They could goo at her, gah at her, just talk in the sweetest smile-iest baby voices ever, and this is about as much smile as she would give them! The little stinker...(always with that bottom lip out too...)
Go ahead...I dare you to make me smile.

"Well, you are my THIRD favorite princess of the three I've seen today."

Once again...the spin machines.

Runnin' all the energy out before the drive back home.

Minnie Mouse was spotted on Flik's Flyers

With the Incredibles. I'm talking about US..the Incredibles. Don't know why those masked weirdos jumped in our picture.

Chillin by the 'Rivers of America' or whatever they call it.

Grandma Debbie and Gary just chillin' again.

All 4 on one row...the ride operator wasn't too happy about this.
Ok...so all-in-all: FANTASTIC trip! The weather was mid-80s every day, the condo was AWESOME, the company was GREAT, and we had a BLAST!!! THANK YOU GARY for everything you did to accommodate us!!! THANK YOU MOM for coming and helping and having so much fun with us! THANK YOU GRANDMA AND GARY for taking the kids here and there so we could have a break!!!!!


WATER BREAK!!!
*GRAB A DRINK, TAKE A BREAK*

HERE'S MORE RANDOM NON-DISNEYLAND PICTURES:

What's wrong with this picture?

Abs 1st dentist appt. She did great!

What we do in January in Arizona.

What I do in January in Arizona while the kids are playing in the water...

What Emma does in January in Arizona. (She thought it was pretty cool I let her dig in the sand as much as she wanted. She only ingested about 2 handfuls of sand. Gross...)
Ok..so we were at a kid's thrift store looking for small/wide shoes for Emma. Caitlin managed to find these puppies, and couldn't figure out WHY I wouldn't let her get them!!!!
Yeah..Deb from Napoleon Dynamite just called looking for her yellow jelly shoes.
Luckily I convinced her to settle for these bad boys. Not too shabby...better than bright neon yellow jelly shoes, ok?
IHOP tradition with Grandpa Brian. And YES...that's my dad pouring samples of each syrup on spoons for the girls to try-out. They took FOR-EVER making our food...so we had to eat the syrup as an appetizer. ;o)

Seriously? I am sitting here wondering why the heck we put freezing Ohio- when we could have gone to Arizona? Obviously a huge mistake! You have some of the cutest little girls I've ever seen!

Who the $#@* manufactured those yellow shoes? I'm never buying any of their shoes just out of spite!

What?? I love the yellow jelly shoes. You're a mean mom for not getting them... :) ha, ha.

I love these fun times you had at Disneyland. So great. Isn't it funny how the princesses have winter dresses on?? Winter capes and velvety materials... I thought it was pretty funny.

Again with the pain of regret... would've loved to be there with you!

Loved the pictures of space mountain. Caitlin is such a dare devil! Too bad life is so hard down there this time of year. Your mom had a beautiful smile when she was with Gary!
