Disneyland!

Steph and Mickel decided to surprise their kids with a trip to Disneyland. They truly did not tell them where they were going until they were almost there, and then Kaiya was just beside herself with excitement. I wish I would have been on the plane with them. Then another surprise ... Grammie showed up at the Long Beach airport! Really I just invited myself along, but Steph and Mickel were gracious enough to make me feel welcome. So here are some random pictures of our fun. It really IS the happiest place on earth!

Everyone's favorite mouse ... especially Teagie's.



Teagie's our little man ... he was giving the sword his best effort.


Here we are chillin' in line to meet the Princesses. It's always been Kaiya's favorite, and I think Teague is becoming smitten as well. And the line wasn't too long!

Having a treat at the Tiki room, which we call the "Teagie room."

We went to a character dinner, which was hosted by FIVE princesses, beginning with Arial. Kaiya was in 7th heaven ... too bad she didn't eat the $19 mac and cheese.

Minnie was a favorite, too.

I'll have to get a copy of the picture of Kaiya and Peter Pan and add it. She has a crush on Peter, it's so cute. When we went to the parade, she kept her eyes absolutely glued on him. She threw him a kiss - both nights we went to the parade - and he saw her and caught them.

Kris and Sterling also happened to be there at the same time. Kris' debate team had a tournament, so she was busy with that quite a lot. But I did get to see her - if only because I was bunking with them! Thanks, guys.

I've always been a Disneyland fan, but I have forgotten how much more fun it is with little ones.
