Disneyland 2012!

We made a countdown chain 30 days before we went and every day Sienna would take a ring off and then she would let Carter throw it in the trash.  We were so excited.  We looked at Disneyland stuff a lot on the internet so she couldn't wait to go.

At the end of August we went to California with my parents.  We drove and got there Monday evening.  We stayed really close so we walked down to Downtown Disney and ate dinner and went to a shop.  The first thing Sienna wanted to get was her Minnie ears.  We got her name put on the back of them and she loved them.

Tuesday morning, ready for Disneyland!

 
 

 We had breakfast at the Paradise Pier with the characters.  It was Surf's Up with Mickey and friends.  It was fun to be able to do this and the breakfast was good.

We saw Max. 

Carter gave him five.

 Loving on Pluto.

 Sienna loved seeing Minnie.

 
 It was pretty hot when we were there but it could've been worse.  It was nice in the evenings.

 Our first ride.  Sienna decided the first one would be Dumbo.

 Sienna liked going on this "pirate ship".  She said we were sailing the seas.

 The jungle cruise.  For whatever reason Sienna says she's on Grandpa's team even though she loves her Grandma.  She loves to tease her with Grandpa.  She says that Carter is on Grandma's team.  Sienna and Grandpa like to call Grandma, "Granny".  My mom pretends to get mad and she thinks it's hilarious.

 
The kids both really liked It's a Small World.

We had so much fun on Splash Mountain.  Sienna is way more brave than I was at her age.  She said it was scary fun.  The worker asked Garrett if he wanted to sit in the back with her and she said she wanted to be in front.  She's so fun.  We got on Pirates of the Caribbean and at first when it was going really slow she said, "boring!".  She likes the exciting rides.

 We didn't quite make it for the Fantasmic show or the fireworks.  We were too busy trying to fit in all the rides we wanted to go on.  We saw part of the fireworks but Sienna had already crashed.  On the walk home Carter fell asleep on Garrett.  We stayed til about ten.  We had so much fun!  We were all worn out.
