So Cal Fun!

We have always loved So. Cal but being from UT there was usually one reason: Disneyland! Both of our families really never came down here unless they were going to the magical kingdom :) Now that we only live 30 min from the park; we are happy to say that we're getting the most out of our season passes!


Brielle absolutely LOVES Disneyland. Now that she's old enough to really recognize the different characters she just gets so excited when she sees anything and everything that has to do with Mickey Mouse. She'll even just squeal "Mimi" when she sees a balloon in the shape of Mickey's head. It's so much fun to go to Disneyland for your kids instead of for yourself. We've realized that's a lot more fun to see your kids get excited about something and have just pure joy on their faces than for you to experience it for yourself.

Because I'm over 7 months pregnant, and because Brielle is so little we get to ride all of the super exciting kid rides. Brielle's favorites are: Jungle Cruise, Tikki Room (thanks dad), Dumbo, and the Carousel. Any ride that has animals - it's her favorite. She's always mimicking the sounds they make. When we were on the carousel last night she started stroking the horses' head and saying "nice" a result of us trying to teach her how to play nice with other children. During the Jungle Cruise she can't sit still because she's always scouting out the next great animal she's going to see. While growling with the lions, making monkey noises with the gorillas, blowing like an elephant, and labeling every animal she recognizes we just sit back and love every minute of it!

We've loved the fun times we've had there just this past summer, and we can't wait to continue going with family and by ourselves until our passes run out!

We have always loved Southern California, but being from UT there was one main reason: Disneyland!!! Both of our families really never came down here unless we were heading off to the magic kingdom :) Now that we only live 30 min. from Disneyland; we are happy to say that we are getting the most of our season passes!
