What an amazing place Disneyland can be. Especially when you see it through your child's eyes!!
I personally love Disneyland. The wonder, the enchantment. It seems to be a place where even adults seem to turn back to kids even if only for a moment. We were sooo excited to go and Jaiden was even doing the countdown. (3 more days till Disneyland!!) We arrived on Friday late afternoon and spent the first evening in downtown Disney. We ate dinner and Jaiden was so happy and excited because we were right next to Disneyland. We woke up first thing on Saturday morning (6 am) so we could get to Disneyland early to run to Finding Nemo. It was a really hot day and pretty crowded so I am glad we went there first. Then we went to Fantasyland and also so the Princess's who taught Jaiden how to be a princess!! In the late afternoon we headed to California Adventure, where I got food poisoning!!! YUCK!! I just wanted to get better for Disneyland the next day. Sunday, we again, woke up early and were off and running. With the help of an entire bottle of Pepto Bismol, I made it!! We were back with the princess's in no time. Jaiden was such a doll!! Not one melt down!! And believe me it's hard to be 3, even at Disneyland. She got to drive the Mark Twain boat, pull the whistle and ring the bell!! It was great!! We went on Pirate's of the Carribean and the Jungle Cruise!! Then Randy and I rode Space Mountain, (thank you ride share!!) and I got to ride on Thunder Mountain, 10 min wait can you believe it!! Fantasmic was awesome but Jaiden is definitely a scaredy cat just like me!! She was literally shaking when the evil witch turned to a dragon!! All good things must come to an end so at 10 p.m. we headed home!!
Monday was Jaiden's actual birthday, and she was so happy all day!! When she woke up I asked what she would like to do and she said "See my friends, Tanner and Sia, and maybe later cake..."
It was so cute!! So we had a nice relaxing birthday. We went to Tanner's to swim and then came home and had Pizza and cake with family. She got a bike!! The princess one!! She can't wait to ride it!! She was super hyper by the end of the night, it was like she realized how much fun she was having!!
This week we go to the river, to begin the summer of bummin at the river!! Jaiden loves the sand and the water. She could sit in the dirt all day and make sand castles and dig. I love to watch her amazement ever time she finds a seashell!! I started getting ready for the trip last week and I'm all packed and ready!! It should be so much fun...The heat is here and summer is upon us. Was it just me or wasn't it just Christmas?? I am so glad to be so lucky to live in such a great place now with friends and family surrounding me. You all make my world sooo much better!! We will be gone for a week, but I am sure I will be back with exciting stories and adventures to share!! Happy Memorial Day!!

Hey Shannon...I found you through Lizzie's blog. I love your blog! It's so cute and Jaiden is just the cutest! I've been wondering where you've been and now I know. You've been busy, but definitely having fun. What a fun trip to Disneyland...sounds like the perfect birthday. You'll have to let me know about the river because I really don't know where that is but we've had friends that go there. You'll have to tell me all about it. Hope you're doing well..I'll catch up with you but glad I have your blog to look at! :)
