Disneyland: Day 1

Disneyland was in itself a vacation while in California. We stayed 6 nights in the Anaheim area, 4 of them at the Grand Californian with 5-day park hopper passes. I wasn’t sure how it would be with a nursing 5 month old, but it went very well. It’s possible I was caught up in the magic of Disneyland to remember the sweat and tears that were shed there, but it really was all worth it ;)

Although it was worth it, it was so hot and packed! We tried not to run anyone over with the stroller but it was challenging. The rides were always an hour to 2 hour wait, including the kiddie rides. Our first day there we only got on 5 rides! We figured out fast pass and baby swap tickets pretty quickly which made some of the rides less of a wait.

Cindy flew down to spend 3 of our 5 days with us. It was so nice to have the extra help and spend time with her, it was her first time to Disneyland too! Ada was enamored by all the princesses, her favorite being Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. Ada even got to meet Aurora the first day we were there.

Griffith Observatory

Another outing with everyone was to L.A. for the day to visit the Griffith Observatory. The kids enjoyed some of it, though running around together is all they needed.

Cousin Time

The kids really got along great this time around. They enjoyed sharing meals, rooms, and playing together. Ruby even got to try solids for the first time, she loved everything she tasted :)
