The happiest place on earth

Daddy, Caitlyn, Jeffrey, Aunt Katie, Nana, Mommy, Papa, Chase & Emmy at Disneyland

The morning after we got back from Hawaii, we packed all the kids and their gear up and headed to the happiest place on earth, Disneyland.  Caitlyn had been talking about our trip for weeks and insisted that we ride Dumbo first.  I was a little worried she might be scared of the rides, but there was no hesitation at all.  She wanted to ride Dumbo and absolutely loved it.  It was her favorite ride followed closely by It's a Small World which was clearly Chase and Emerson's favorite.  They clapped and looked around in awe while Chase busted out a few dance moves to the music.  We didn't get a ton accomplished - by the time we waited in line, went on a ride, ate, and stopped for a potty break over 2 hours had gone by - but Caitlyn was in heaven.  She was so excited, it was thrilling experience everything with her and I was really glad Brian was able to be here for this trip since he was so disappointed he missed her first visit two years ago.

Our first ride and Caitlyn's favorite - Dumbo with Daddy 

 Dumbo!

Riding in a stroller is hard work!  And yes, Emerson did fall asleep not only sitting up but sitting out too.  She's definitely got talent.
