Disneyland Ditch Day for Rayleigh's Birthday

We had the BEST time visiting both parks for Rayleigh’s birthday! It was crowded but we used our return times to go on all the rides Rayleigh chose. But first, it was Incredicoaster! She’s finally tall enough to go on but had never done it and she was so stoked! We got in line number 8 (woo hoo!) and she was screaming and grinning ear to ear the entire time! I love her love of life! We then went on her favorite Up-and-down-scan-your-hand-ride. As you can see from the picture, she kinda likes it. Ella acted like she was terrified but then said, “I love that ride!”
Because it was so crowded, we went to the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail and the Animation Academy. Then we went to Disneyland and got churros for the first time! Yum! The kids were so excited! Jack was hilarious about it. Then we went on Haunted Mansion and Peter Pan. It was the best day. I LOVE taking my kids to Disney. It’s a break from reality and we are all so happy when we are there!
We spent the rest of the week preparing for Rayleigh’s baptism and rearranging beds and furniture! I love doing stuff like this and it made her baptisms even more awesome! Can’t wait for the family to arrive and for her special day!

We always play this game where we try to "race" the other person and we say "You're going DOWN!"

 

Rearranging the beds and getting a new king sized bed for our guests was so fun! Hard work but so awesome!

Sweet message from Rayleigh's teacher- this means everything to me!
