Disneyland

We had the most fun visiting family and friends over Matt's Spring break from school. These pictures are from our trip to Disneyland it was Maddie's first time, and she had a blast! We went with Liz's sister Mel and her three kids, and after getting a late start due to traffic, we literally parked our cars, got the strollers loaded and the heavens opened up! It started to rain!! Lucky for us it stopped right after we got off the tram and into the park...thank goodness.
We planned to meet up with The Green's too while we were there. For those of you who don't know them, they are some of our dental student friends, Jordon and Matt are in the same class and Maddie and Kinley are just the best of friends. Emma got along great with Kinley too and the girls had a blast! It was so fun to have the Green's there! This picture is the girls on "Its a Small World".
This is truly hilarious -and amazing- Maddie is smiling in a picture! Maddie is impossible to get a smiling picture of (especially with the lovely delay of digital cameras) she loves to ignore the constant pleas of "Maddie, look at mom, please smile like a princess, come on silly girl let me see you laugh like this"...then I try some silly sound to get her to look and still nothing... she usually says cheese, but will she smile? She won't even look up from what she is so fascinated with. She just says cheese a million times and pulls her lower lip back and almost frowns! Hopefully it is just a phase!!! Anyway, this picture warms my heart and if you all only knew how exhausted she was you would know and this is not laughter but perhaps a little more like delirium! :) We love our happy Maddie and she sure felt like a princess. This picture was taken at the "Princess Coronation Ceremony" where the kids listened to Cinderella read a story, decorate crowns, and then learn to dance like princes and princesses. Jasmin, Cinderella and Snow White were there too. It was so great!
It started to rain again so we took the kids to see the Honey I shrunk the audience show...it was really fun, but a little intense. Not all of the kids wore their glasses and not all of them made it through to the end of the show...but they sure look cute in their glasses!
This is Maddie and Liz waiting in line to ride Dumbo. Maddie loves Dumbo, so this was like a dream come true. She squeeled with delight for the entire ride and then cried when it was over!

Oh my goodness! I had no idea you guys were all going to Disneyland. It looks like you had such a blast!!! I wish we could have been there too (but we can't wait to see you in just a month!).

Yeah!! I love Disneyland. I really want to take ryder, but todd says I have to wait until he gets bigger/older... and I guess older is really the key here. Let's be honest, he's big enough already. And I admit, that makes sense... but I figure i'd try to use the little guy to get us there earlier. I love the pics!
