Disney Land

The car is packed and we are on our way to Disney Land!!!



Minnie's house
Anna's first ride at Disney Land
Teacups

Grandma Kathy
Toy Story 3




Anna is mesmerized by the parade on main street. She is waiving to all the characters.
Grandpa had been giving her money for her Disneyland trip. This is one of the things she bought with her own money. The other thing she bought was a stuffed Minne doll.
Ariel's Grotto...
Anna had heard of Ariel's Grotto from her friends who had gone to Disneyland. She wanted to go so bad. I never did call to make a reservation because it said you could do it when you got there. Well I waited and it was sold out. I felt so bad, I started to cry because I knew Anna had been looking forward to it, and I dropped the ball. Mother of the year. Well I kept going in and asking if anyone had cancelled or if they forgot about a table, anything. I guess we got lucky, they decided to open up the balcony and had a few extra tables. Only the girls went to the lunch. A fun date with Anna, Mom and Grandma. Anna loved it.
Exhausted after the 1st day of Disneyland
It's a Small World...
We finally went to Disney Land. We had so much fun, we want to go back. Grandma and Grandpa Moyes came with us. We went to Disneyland for 3 days, then drove to see Uncle John and Aunt Elaina for a few days and down to Sea World and the beach. We had a great vacation!

She Can Ride

Anna decided that it was time to ride her bike sans training wheels. She surprised us both by catching on SO fast. Within the first minute, she was riding the length of a house.


Day 2 of learning went so good as well. She caught on so fast and was cruising up and down the street. At first, she'd go for just a minute then you could tell that she was making herself fall in order to stop. Then we gave her a goal to ride 4 houses down...and she did it just fine. She is still working on trying to get going by herself. She's done it a few times, but likes to ask for help.
Ezra was doing some important business while Anna was riding.
(Hopefully, finding someone to help his mom.)

Anna had to go down and show Leila that she could ride her bike without training wheels too.
