The big holiday, part 6 - Disneyland!

Now on to probably the best day of the holiday - Disneyland! Unfortunately for the boys, they weren't included - Granny took care of them while Mommy and Daddy took Michaela. Shelby, Dave and Samantha also came. For those of you who don't know, Disneyland is only about a 20 minute drive from Auntie Ivanna's house!

Very first ride was the carousel, or as Michaela calls it, the horsies! Here's Michaela and Samantha enjoying the ride.
And Dave and Mommy too!
Next stop, the tea cups. And Michaela chose that we went into the pink one. Quite a squeeze with Mommy, Daddy, Shelby and the girls, but we just made it in.
Then Michaela met the Mad Hatter. He was absolutely brilliant and even shouted at Captain Hook when he tried to come near us. Even though Michaela doesn't know who he is, she absolutely loved meeting him and looking at his big, green shoes.
Here's Sammy and Michaela on the 'It's a small world' ride. They both just loved it. Michaela spent most of the ride waving to all the people singing. And, it was nice and cool, which made all the adults love it on such a hot day.
We got to go in a Dumbo ride, which flies around in a circle, but you control how high or low it goes. Michaela loved that we went higher than Daddy's elephant! Poor Daddy had to sit by himself and take photos of us.
And lucky Michaela got to meet Mickey Mouse, after walking though his house. She was so excited, but told us later that she forgot to give him a kiss!
Michaela also got to meet Rosetta (one of Tinkerbell's fairy friends).
But the absolute highlight of the trip for Michaela was getting to meet the real Tinkerbell!
After, Michaela asked us if she'd held Tinkerbell's hand, could they have gone flying together. How cute. The other highlight of the day for Michaela was getting to go on the Finding Nemo ride in a submarine, but no flash was allowed so we didn't get any pictures.

We were so amazed at how much Michaela enjoyed Disneyland, but also how much Samantha did (who only just turned two). We can now totally understand how people have a five day trip just to Disneyland. Maybe EuroDisney will be on the cards for another year?
