DISNEYLAND

We made it!
Inching closer to the motorized cart...Mom saying "No, Connor"
Notice the mischievous look on his face as he moves even closer!
Waiting and still waiting for Dad and Aunt Tara to come with the coffee they HAD to stop for.
Meanwhile Mom (Me) is getting anxious because I can SEE lines forming!!!
Connor's first Disney ride~It's a Small World
Here we go...front row so Connor can see
My boys are enthralled
All decked out for Christmas
Second ride (Dumbo)...clarification: He is not upset with the ride, but the fact he can't touch the water.
Off we go!
DUMB circus ride- the workers here were cranky...not up to par with my customer service expectation~especially at Disneyland!
Time to crash on Mom...again thank goodness for my Ergo backpack, not sure why Brendan is bending over like he is touching his toes...nice behind honey :-)
Connor and "Bop"~ the first person who was ALLOWED (according to C) to hold him after being in Mom's arms all AM
HMMM...not sure about this Mom.
Maybe this "bo-bo" (my parent's dog's name) is ok
Time for lunch
Mom and Tara
Tongs are great for many things
Got you "bop"
Awww...grown-up ride on Big Thunder Mountain (C with my parents)
TRAIN RIDE (Connor's FAVORITE was the Choo-Choo's!
Disneyland at night
Space Mountain- the longest wait...about 45 minutes
Pretty castle
Ummm...AMAZING (Small World)



Well, what can I say?! The first day was amazing and tiring...Connor was way overstimulated after It's a Small Word, Dumbo, and a really dumb circus train ride (the workers were cranky-so I was not a fan)- He totally crashed for about an hour in the backpack. So everyone else went on a ride while I walked around. When he woke up we went to get lunch and then more rides.
In the evening we left Connor sleeping in the condo with Grandma and Bop and went back to Disneyland to conquer Indiana Jones and Space Mountain. Then we went home to crash... our goal was to get up early, get to Disneyland right when it opened, hit Autopia and Pirates of the Caribbean, and then head over to CA Adventure before leaving Anaheim for Palm Springs just in time for a Connor nap in the car.... MORE TO COME!
