We're going where Daddy??!!
I'm too excited to sleep!!
And to be honest, so was Mommy!
It all started when Daddy decided one Monday morning that he thinks we need to go to Disneyland before Sienna turns 3 and needs a child's ticket. I agreed like a good wife to a constantly planning husband would thinking that we had a few months to go and sure, maybe it'd happen after the holidays. Little did I know he meant...
Let's go to Disneyland this very week!!
As in why aren't we packing yet?!
Hold the Dumbo ride! He means business!
So we called my Other Mother who lives a short drive from "the happiest place on earth" and asked if they had any plans that week. Of course she did, but since she loves us so much she rearranged everything so that 2 days later she not only let us stay at her house, they decided to come with us!!
Who can resist joining in on the first family trip to Disneyland??
We managed to go on the perfect day, with the perfect weather and almost absolutely no lines at all! Can you believe that?! The best part of all was the we had some extra help to trade off sitting with napping children tucked snuggly in their strollers while Mommy and Daddy dashed off to some rides all alone!
The gentleman that I married always makes sure I get to take the splash in the face on the Matterhorn, but I still love him.
You're probably thinking, Matterhorn?! Aren't you pregnant?! Uuhhhh, yeah, about that, I made sure to hold the baby belly on the turns....
I guess that's the difference between pregnancy #1 and #3!
Or maybe it's my daring personality and I just can't help but pass it along to my kids inside the womb and apparently outside as well....
Yup, that's our 2 1/2 year old on her first roller coaster!
She LOVED it.
I, on the other hand, have to say watching her on that ride was probably waaay worse for this pregnancy than any Disneyland level coaster I rode on. But, she loved it and still talks about it weeks later.
We met all of the princesses and characters who Sienna proudly tells any available warm body that she now personally knows. Funny that she recalls the encounter as such a time of bonding when she was clearly too star struck to make actual eye contact with the characters or with the camera...
You may think little Jonah was too young to enjoy this adventure, but I'd have to argue that it's a magical place to be for a toddler with new walking legs!
He was on a mission and had the walkers to take us with him!
No Jonah should go to Disneyland without meeting his famous whale!
I'm pretty sure he has no idea what a whale is yet, because I don't think he'd be smiling like this after a few more years worth of references to his namesake....
When we got home we asked Sienna what she thought of her first and undoubtedly most spontaneous Disneyland trip...
I'm gonna guess that this smile means Disneyland definitely is the place where 2 year old dreams come true!

Horray!!!! I am so excited for you guys. Isn't it the best ever! And this time of year was surely perfect. What a fun surprise. What a good husband you have. Also, I went on Indiana Jones pregnant (because it is hardly a roller coaster at all) and Gus seems fine. I was just getting him used to scary rides at a young age so he can be tough later. Good thing the pregnancy police weren't on the hunt. But my dad was mad at me about it. Jimmy was pretty excited about Gaget's Go Coaster as well and was quite proud that he was big enough (barely) so he and Sienna can bond over that. Anyway, I will surely want to talk to you about this more when I see you.
