Disneyland- Day 3

*Warning: Picture overload*
Day 3 began with Pixie Hollow. For those of you who don't know, Nissa LOVES Tinkerbell! One of her nicknames is Tinkerbell Nissi.
My sweet girl waiting to see Tinkerbell.

All smiles.

Pixie Hollow was such a magical place, and when I mean magical, I mean it. As we entered, the sweet man who introduced us to the fairies told Nissa that as we entered Pixie Hollow, Tinkerbell sprinkled pixie dust on us, causing us to shrink to the size of Tinkerbell. What a magical place.
Meeting Tinkerbell!
Tinkerbell was thrilled to see that Nissa was wearing her Tinkerbell outfit!

Disneyland Day 2

Our 2nd day in the Happiest Place on Earth, began at California Adventure. While some of the big kids went on the Soarin' we took the opportunity to snap some pictures with Lightning McQueen. Poppa and Nissa

Smiley Kat. She was always smiling.
Group shot outside Toy Story Mania. The little ones loved this ride, so we went on it often. Kat was taking one of her many 'Kat' naps, so I stayed and waited for everyone. After the ride, we were thrilled to see Woody and his soldier.
Uncle Bud, Mommy, and Nissa

We met up with Gabi and Michelle and headed to Bugs Land. We decided to hit up the delicious ride, Hemlich. Kat was able to join us, and she loved it!


Little fact: flying straight from Denver and packing up long sleeves and jackets, we arrived in Disneyland and enjoyed, and melted in 97 degree weather. We weren't expecting it, at all. We headed to Target and found some summer clearance clothes for my sweet little girls. It was a record high, pretty much all week. I enjoyed the weather, once we were wet. And knowing that we would be going back to snow and cooler weather. Lets just say we went on all the water rides several times. Nissa was even brave and went on Splash Mountain. She loved the singing animals, but not the waterfall so much.

It was so fun to catch up with some of our favorite people, the Sargents. Here are the cute little ones in Tarzans tree house.
Nissa, Zeke, and Mason
Day 2 ended great. The girls were beat at the end of the day, which made for some great sleep. Nissa could not contain her excitement. She wanted to go back right away.
