Happiest Place in Anaheim

To cap off our action packed week, we spent the whole day Sunday at Disneyland. Matilda hadn't been in 7 months and was ecstatic to return. It is amazing to see how happy she is there, especially now as she is slowly introduced to more of the characters. Tim & I were commenting on how it's no wonder people end up planning their entire vacation there - just to see their kids smiling so big. Matilda had a great time and the only downside for her was being terrorized by the automatic flush toilets all day. Porter did great being dragged around and was fairly content for almost all of it. 

Matilda's now tall enough to ride the pill bug bumper cars. At the end of the ride she told Tim she didn't want to get out. Good timing for our pill bug obsessed girl. (As we went shopping one day last week she informed me she wanted to buy a new pill bug dress.)

 Porter sleeps through his second carousel ride of the day. 

Porter's first day riding forward-facing in the Bjorn. His neck is just-about sturdy enough for it and he was thrilled. He had this bug-eyed look on the whole time watching the world go by. Granted it was a flashier-than-normal Disney-colored world so that might explain the bug eyes.

 Matilda practices her big jumps while Porter watches the clouds. 

"No more tea cups, please."

It is still such a novelty to me that we are a family of four! Here we all are, riding on Matilda's favorite carousel: the sea themed one at California Adventure. This time she chose the sea horse.
