First Trip to Disneyland!

We have been having an EXTREMELY busy summer! I'm going to have to play catch up here and blog in a few sessions, starting with our trip to Disneyland on July 1st. A huge thank you to Aunt Susie for taking us to D-Land for G's first time. For those of you that don't know, Susie is a Disney Travel Agent and can sign in a certain # of people in to D-Land free a year. Isn't that RAD? So thanks for making our first trip so fun (and affordable) Susie! :)

So here we are on Thursday, July 1st for G's 1st trip to the Happiest Place on Earth!
The first thing we did was watch Captain Eo. I was so excited that it was back for a "special tribute." Grady did very well through the movie- even though it was dark and a little scary. But that boy started shaking his thing when Micheal Jackson started singing and dancing. Our boy loves to dance. I am proud to say that this was Grady's first movie in a theater. He's such a big boy!

Then we were off to the Buzz Lightyear ride. So fun! Grady is that tiny bit of blond hair you see under my gun. I was taking my shooting seriously- but please take note of the score and how ridiculously badly I am beating Derek, even with a toddler on my lap!

Getting ready for our ride on the carousel:
Daddy too! Grady did not love Casey Jr's Train for some reason....actually it was just about naptime. He fell asleep right after, so no offense Casey Jr.
But his Great-Auntie and Grandma were loving it!
Definitley G's favorite ride of the day: Small World! There were plenty of animals, balloons, and kids to point at and marvel over.

Probably Grady's favorite thing at Disneyland- the balloons! He kept pointing and "talking" about the balloons all day, and finally we found a guy selling them. Of course his Grandma had to buy him one- and what a bargain at only $7! ;)



Overall, the trip was a success! Grady liked it much more than I thought he would, and he was so good all day! On our way out we ran into Goofy and had to snap a pic with the "DAA" (dog). Grady didn't care about the picture, but he was darn excited about the 8 foot tall dog. We love Disneyland!
