Best Suprise Ever!


One good thing about the move to Arizona was that Disneyland was on the way! We kept our plans a surprise. The girls had no idea where we were at even though there were some big hints on the way to the hotel. They kept seeing Mickey Mouse things everywhere. They even saw the entrance which is pretty decorated and Chloe said jokingly, "This looks like Disneyland." But we got to the hotel and they thought nothing more about it. When we woke up the next morning, Eric drew a picture of what we were going to do (which was the outline of Mickey Mouse) and the girls had to guess. It was so fun to see their reactions! They were so excited! This was their first time and we had a blast! Unfortunately, Tyler woke up feeling terrible and had a fever. So, we gave him some Tylenol and he slept throughout the day in his stroller. (Yeah, we are that good of parents!) The girls were able and willing to do every ride they could and to our surprise was everything except for Indiana Jones. Chloe especially loved the thrill rides. Their favorite was Big Thunder Mountain which we rode three times. Eric could only handle that one once. We had such a fun time and can't wait to go again.
Grandpa Ron was our traveling buddy and lone helper to unpack the whole trailer! He's the best!


Watch out! Chloe's driving!



Grandpa bought the cutest ears for the kids. Thanks Grandpa!
Only decent shot of poor Tyler in his ears.

It was a long and wonderful day!

HOW FUN! I never realized that Disneyland was "on the way" from OR to AZ! I'll have to take another look at my map. :)

You guys know how to do good surprises. Let me know if you ever want to give one to me... My face won't be quite as cute as your girls', but I'll try!

What a fun surprise. The first time we took the kids to Disneyland we were able to make it all the way through security at the airport before we told them where we were going. Fun times! I love your pictures, so cute to see the girls all excited.
