Disneyland 2008**Warning**Lot's of Pictures**

This was our first time flying to Disneyland with the girls. They were so excited to ride a plane for the first time ever!

They didn't really like all the waiting we had to do, though.
The weather was amazing! It was in the mid 90's all week!

The Parade of Dreams parade had all of the princess's and other favorite characters. Tinkerbell started off the parade and Kaylin, Emma, and Payton could hardly contain themselves, they were so excited.

We met up with Dao's cousin, James, and a few of his friends. The girls had so much fun riding all the big rides with them. After Splash Mountain, Emma decided she would stay with Mommy and Payton. So we went and watched the Parade of Dreams. We had seen it during the day, but it was so pretty at night with all the floats lit up.

We ended up going the same week as our best friend's! They have kids the same ages as Haley, Kaylin, and Emma, so they all paired up for the rides and Payton rode with Mommy and Daddy, and sometimes Heidi (Thank you, Heidi!). We also took turns waiting with the shorties who couldn't ride the rides so that all the of us parents got a turn. This was awesome because Dao and I got to ride on "The Tower of Terror" together, and that was something that we had never done. (Thanks again for hanging with us in Disneyland, we love you guys!)
Captain Hook tried to take off with Kaylin's pony tail!
They had Candy Corn grapes, carrots, and pumpkins. It was really cute!
Captain Jack Sparrow came right up to Emma and took her Lollipop. He said "oh, that is easy" in his flamboyant voice. We had to explain to the kids that he meant taking candy from a baby is easy. One of my very favorite rides is the Haunted Mansion. We go to Disneyland every other October, so we always see it all done up for "The Nightmare Before X-mas" theme. The kids loved it, too!

Did I mention it was super hot??!!

Can't wait until next time!!
