Kurt wrote Macy's name really big in the sand, so she wrote his "Dad" even bigger.
This is our Disneyland/beach trip that we took a couple weeks ago. I had secretly saved for over a year to do this and we finally went! My parents joined us and even flew the kids there and back so they didn't have to ride in the car with Kurt and I. We even got a surprise once we got to California that my sister Haley was going to be joining us as well.
We picked up our tickets (which were purchased on e-bay), from a shady guy named Guido, we were given instructions to keep the tickets nice, not take any surveys, quickly put the tickets in our pockets after getting in the park, and the tickets had to be returned at the end of the night. So we pull into the Disney parking lot and my dad jokingly says in the car as we pass the parking director "I can't take the pressure anymore! We have illegal tickets!" But they worked!!!
The girls of course loved to walk in and see Cinderellas castle and our first ride was Small World. That's a great ride to warm up to Disneyland. Then it was off to toon town. Macy was just tall enough to ride all the big rides, so I was glad that we waited until now to go. She loved all the big rides as well.
The Disney dance parade was one of my favorite parts, both girls danced, but Macy really worked it. She even got pulled into the parade to dance with Tiger, that was a big moment for her and she still mentions it.
The next day was California Adventure. I am so amazed on how brave my girls were. Raegan's favorite ride was California Screamin' which is a massive roller-coaster, and Macy went on the Tower of Terror. Raegan did chicken out in the line of Tower of Terror and I had to take her out, but Macy still did it and she claims it was her favorite ride, that and Peter Pan. When Haley asked her if she wanted to go on it again she said, "Um, no, it was a little scary for my eyes." But still, she did it!
The last day we said good-bye to Haley and headed to the beach. Raegan and Kurt played in the waves while Macy and I hung out on the sand and collected sea shells. We also had a heck of an experience at 7-11, but it's not worth remembering, so I'm not posting it.
I really hope that we can make Disney a yearly trip, that's the way I grew up so of course I want to do it for my kids!! We had a great time.
