We went to Disney Land in August with Michelle and her boys, David and Russy, and my mom. It was SO fun to see Alexis react to all the princesses and the rides. We got there pretty late that first night and were trying to get all 4 kids to eat their dinner at about 10 pm without complaint. We were failing miserably when this awesome balloon guy came over and made balloons for the kids. He bargained balloons for bites and the kids laughed and had a great time. It reminded me of the master card commercials: trip for 3 to Disneyland $1,500, dinner for 7 $250, getting the kids to eat their dinner without complaint? Priceless.
We went to a princess lunch at Ariel's Grotto. Lexi had so much fun, and I swear we met the real Snow White! lol.... her voice, her looks, her demeanor... everything! Lexi was so excited and so shy at the same time, it was so cute!
We also had a character breakfast one morning which was really fun. Captain Hook was one of the only characters she knew however since we din't really watch TV. That took some explaining...."Lexi, he's not a bad guy at Disneyland." Tigger was quite flirtatious...acting all shocked that I was married....sometimes you wonder if it's a boy or girl under those costumes...hahaha....
I have to say, that the new Woody ride at California Adventure is AWESOME! It was SO much fun. It's now one of my favorite rides. Lexi really liked it too. Lexi liked the Peter Pan ride best (also my father's favorite). She got scared on Snow White and Winnie the Pooh, and Britton took her on the Roger Rabit ride which also scared her. She liked the roller coaster in Toon Town though, and did the princess coronation ceremony and loved it.
Britton in the mean time got over his fear of roller coasters and even went on California Screamin' and loved it - we went two more times. :)
