Disneyland Part 2

We started our second day in Disneyland at Ariel's Grotto where we had breakfast & got to meet lots of princesses!

First, Ariel!

Olivia in her princess crown

You'll notice a pattern with Olivia in these pictures. She was fascinated by & a little leary of the princesses so she stared at them each time they came by. Natalie was pretty excited to meet all of her favorite princesses!


Here we are with Belle!

Water bath

This happened on the day before we left on vacation. I didn't really want them doing this but I had just cleaned out the bird bath & put fresh water in it earlier in the day so I knew it wasn't icky. And, the girls were having so much fun splashing around in there, it was too hard to break up their fun.

Oh Olivia!

This girl makes us laugh EVERYDAY!

Too Funny!

Both girls having suckers & reading magazines while they patiently waited for me to get our Disneyland tickets :)

Disneyland Part 1

This will be the first of several posts to get all of our pictures from vacation on the blog :)

Nana & Papa and I took the girls to Disneyland & the beach. Ron had to stay home for work.

As soon as we got there we went to Downtown Disney for dinner.

Here is our first day at Disneyland. Riding the carousel!Olivia & Papa wait for us on the Dumbo ride.Natty & Mommy riding Dumbo
All the girls in a tea cup!Riding the tea cupsHappy girl on her horseOlivia had to do a lot of waiting around because she wasn't big enough for a lot of the rides. But she found ways to keep herself occupied.On the tea cups!Love this pic of my girlies in their minnie mouse shirts on the tea cups!Loving the spinning!We got Olivia this backpack leash because we knew we couldn't keep her in the stroller all day long because she loves to be out & moving around. This helped us keep her within arms reach but let her have her freedom to walk around. At first she didn't love it, but once she realized it was the only way I was letting her run around, she got used to the idea :)Heading into "Small World"Loving it!
Natalie was like this with everything! Her reactions & excitedment just made the trip amazing!Natalie meeting Mickey MouseAll of the girls with MickeyPlaying in Mickey's carIn Chip & Dale's tree houseNatty & Papa on the Toon town coasterNatalie in Minnie's chairReady for a napYeah!
