Mouse hunting.

T here,
This past Saturday I took Zoey down to my parents house and Mom, Cori, Zoey and I all went to Disneyland. It was a very belated Mother's Day get together for all the girls. Since it was a Saturday the park was crowded but we still managed to ride on 11 rides without waiting more than 20 minutes. Our first ride was Autopia. Zoey decided she wanted to ride with her Aunt Cori.




Then it was over to Pinocchio which Zoey didn't seem to care for, I think it was the dark and all the crazy pictures coming out at her. The carousel was much more to her liking.



But in true girly fashion Zoey was most interested in "I wanna see PRINCESS!" They added a new princess area where you can go and hear a princess tell you a story which Zoey seemed to enjoy. She wouldn't sit with me, she found the nearest little girl and scooted her way over to sit with her. Completely forgetting about personal space. The other little girl took it well.



Then of course we had to go see Mickey. Afterwards we heard multiple times "go see Mickey? Go see Mickey??"


Once she got the hang of the rides her new favorite saying was "one more time? one more time?" Which we heard after every ride we did the rest of the day. Her favorites were: The Jungle Cruise, Winnie the Pooh, It's a small world, and the tiki room. We got her on Pirates of the Caribbean which she didn't appreciate at first but seemed ok with at the end. Here are a few pictures of her on the rides looking around in awe. Notice the blank stare on her face in the 2nd pic. It was almost 5pm after a long hot day with no nap...but it was all to interesting so she did her best to stay alert. Such a trooper!





It was a great first trip to Disneyland for Zoey. She didn't want to leave, but I knew she was exhausted. She fell asleep the second we hit the freeway and was tired for the next two days.




In other news Aiden has become extremely confident in his verbal abilities. That's him making most of the noise and Zoey playing back yelling "noooo". He's also getting 4 top teeth in right now so he chews on everything!

Looks like a fantastic trip to the magic kingdom. Thanks for sharing. Aiden is not afraid to share his opinion.

They are both so cute.

Awesome! That looks like such a fun trip. That's great that you live so close.
I haven't watched the video yet b/c the second I do, Sam is going to hear it and ask me to watch every video we have on our computer. So I'll watch during nap time.

I want to hold off long enough on Disneyland that when we finally go the kids will freak out when we tell them like the kids on the commercial, like mom at a Beatles concert.
