Theme park madness

Disneyland was a BLAST! It's so cool to take people to a place they have never been before. My friend Lisa met us at the gate at 8:30AM and got us in for FREE!

Jay was so excited the entire time and was amazed of the size. When you pass it on the street it really doesn't look as big as it is inside. The first character we spotted when we walked in was Pluto! I called him by another character name when I first saw him. Oops!
Main Street is the first part you pass and we eye balled all the candy, coffee and souvenir shops. Can you believe that it is full decorate for the holidays? The Christmas decoration all over the place and some of the rides have been altered to reflect the holidays, as well. Most notably is the Haunted Mansion and It's a Small World. And YES, Jayla went on the Haunted Mansion and didn't get scared or cry! What a tough cookie!

The VERY first ride we went on was the rockets. The have a joy stick that you can move your rocket up and down. It was so much fun and gave be butterflies in my tummy!
During one of our breaks we went hat shopping! Jay is going to kill me that I am posting this picture, but I just HAVE to! He was all model looking and all. This is one of the ones I tried on.... Watch out! An alien is eating my head!
Jayla was our model for a lot of the hats. I love this picture! She ended up getting the pink version of this one.

This one reminded me of Marge Simpson
I was surprised that my big head and tons of hair fit in these hats!

In Mickey's Toon Town Jayla didn't meet the height requirement, but looks adorable under the sign.

We ate non-stop with ice cream, funnel cake, snacks, juices, chicken & veggie skewers, sweets and everything else that theme parks sell.
The park wasn't that full and the most we had to wait in line was maybe 20-30 minutes. It was a GREAT time and maybe next time we can go to California Adventure. It might sound funny that someone from CA wants to visit a theme park about CA, but I do!

Those are GREAT pictures! I love all of them! They'll be perfect for the memories later. I was charmed by the little tiny tyke hanging on Jay's leg in the first photo. And I like the one with Jay in the Mickey ears, too. I don't care if it's silly, he looks hot. I think it's the expression.

Sounds like a perfect day!

We had such a good time! I am still shocked on how much food I ate... Jay was shocked too that I ate so much and was still hungry when dinner time came
