Disneyland!!


On the car ride up watching Nemo on her dvd player.

As per usual we had a blast at Disneyland!! We stayed for three nights and enjoyed almost every minute of it! The only problem was that it was way too HOT!! Mackenzie and I didn't cope too well with the heat which meant that we had to plan when we went and what we did during the day, but I already can't wait to go back!! My ankles were swollen most of the time which meant I couldn't be on my feet all day and with it being so hot Mackenzie would tire very easily, so we would go out in the morning till around 11 or 12, go back to the room for a nap, head down to the pool and head back to Disneyland around 4 or 5 until Mackenzie got too tired. Rather than tell you every little detail of what we got up too there are a bunch of pics here that I'll tell you a little about...enjoy!


I'm not sure if it was the heat or just the size of the horses, but every time Mackenzie saw the carousel she wanted to go on it, then she would get up set and John would either have to try and get off before the ride started or would be stuck trying to calm her down!!


Trying to beat the heat!

The exciting thing about this trip was that we because annual pass holders!! John finally got on board to the idea that maybe it would cut down on expenses so we are planning to head back to check out the Halloween stuff and possibly the Christmas stuff. Mackenzie is free up until the age of three so I guess we need to make the most of it now!!


Meeting Pooh Bear!

Mackenzie was very excited to see the characters, although this shot doesn't really show it. She would see them and name them and say "Touch? Touch?". She was ok approaching them, then would get a little apprehensive at first. By the end of our trip though she was fine with them. She was not interested though in meeting anyone where she could see their faces which meant she didn't want much to do with the princesses and stuff. I guess that is her apprehension of strangers kicking in which I don't mind at all.

Excited for dinner. When we ask her these days what she wants to eat she will excitably call out "chicken!!"

Meeting Baloo (I think that's how you spell it?) from the Jungle Book

We went and had breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen which allowed Mackenzie to see a lot of characters. See had a lot of fun seeing the different characters and ate lots and lots of fruit!


Meeting Chip or Dale.


Meeting Aladdin! As you can see she was not interested in getting to know him at all!! =)

Oh my goodness I can see how hot you all look in those photos! And the photo of M with Aladdin really did make me laugh out loud!

Loved catching up with your updates Jodi. Glad to hear all is going well with the new bub - good luck with your GD tests. M sounds like quite a little character and not unlike Finn in a lot of ways (though perhaps a bit more clever!). They don't miss a thing do they?? xx
