More Disneyland pictures


We enjoyed It's a Small World three times.  The kids loved the song (they sang it all day) and all the pretty things to look at. 
Here are some pictures from the street party.  All of the characters came and danced in front of us. 
The kids got to play the drum.
Mickey and "Minnie-girl" came and danced in front of the kids.  Elaine was so excited to see Minnie. 
The kids enjoyed delicious Mickey cookies, it was a sugar cookie covered with chocolate. 

California here we come!

First stop was California City where uncle Tim and aunt Jennie live.  We were all excited to see them and spend time at their house.  The kids got to play go-fish with Tim. 

We visited the Borax mine in Boron, CA.  That is one big tire.  Henry found it all so fascinating and asked uncle Tim at least 100 questions. 
Since we were in California Josh's number one thought is: In-N-Out burger!  We ate there our first day.  I think the kids enjoyed it.  
We visited Edwards Air Force base to see all the cool planes.  Henry enjoyed this part more than Elaine.  Candi ended up taking a little nap in the rental car (we'd been up since 3:00 am). 
We had a great trip, the kids enjoyed flying.  They got to sit in the cockpit and they took pictures with the pilot.  

First trip to Disneyland

Henry and Elaine went to Disneyland for the first time this May.  They had so much fun and they look forward to going again.  The rides were a big hit, the characters were scary, the frozen lemonade made for many bathroom breaks and it was all great!
They got to meet Eyeor, Tigger and Pooh Bear, but Elaine didn't like Tigger or Pooh.  
Henry was excited to see Pluto.
Henry enjoyed the cars in toon town.  He had to take his picture with each one.
Elaine and Henry wanted to have their pictures taken with their new toys, Pluto and Minnie-girl.  Then we had to take pictures of just the stuffed animals.  This was at the end of our second day in the park. 
Elaine loved the teacups.  She went on them once and then refused to get off the ride.  Fortunately, it was early in the morning so they let her go twice.
