We just went to Disneyland with our friends the Hodges! We had a blast!
The girls had a hard time falling asleep at our hotel the night before. We stayed the Annabella and we really liked it!
Brooke and Emma loved these flowers, birds of paradise.
We ate breakfast at Jamba Juice at Downtown Disney both days. My fav!
First stop-- get Arielle's autograph!
Then Mary Poppins'!
Alan insisted on having a photo alone with her. He said it fulfilled all of this wildest dreams. :)
The park was decorated for Halloween!

Ryan and I took the girls on the tea cups (I'm still paying for that with dizziness now!) and while were waiting we saw Joey Fatone from Nsync! I was about to ask him to take a pic with me but then his Disneyland guides and a big group of what were probably his family members came over to him. I chickened out!
But it got me to thinking that I need to keep track of all the famous people I've seen at Disneyland.
In high school I saw Screech from Saved By the Bell. He was a little ways away from us in the parking lot and my dad yelled, "Hey Screech!" He waved and said Hi. He even posed for a photo with us but I have no idea where that photo is.
Three years ago I saw Adam Sandler. We walked by him at our hotel and he said HI!
When Carli and my parents took the girls in January they saw Jason Priestly from 90210 at the Disneyland Hotel pool.
When we went in July I saw John Littlefield from Extreme Makeover Home Edition when I was coming off of Splash Mountain.
If only I had more guts and I'd have some cool photos with celebrities by now!
I remembering thinking Minnie's house was so cool when I was little. It's fun to watch my kids enjoy it now.
We went to Mickey's Halloween Party where people dress up and you trick or treat around the park.
Alan and I ordered official Star Trek uniforms. Oh yeah!
Brooke was Sleeping Beauty and Emma was Cinderella.
Brooke was terrified to go on the Radiator Springs ride but she was brave.
You can't see Brooke's face here but she was super scared!
Brooke was also scared to go on the Grizzly Rapids ride and she screamed the entire time!
We went on the Mickey Ferris Wheel together and she loved that one.
I loved walking hand in hand with my beautiful girls, enjoying our vacation. I cherish every moment they will let me.
Mickey Mouse pancakes!
We sat in Ryan and Christy's hotel room for hours, laughing and talking about old times. Makes me smile just thinking about it. We went to Chili's for lunch before it was time to go. Alan started singing, "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye" by Boys to Men.
Let's do it again soon guys! Love ya!
