Part 2: Disneyland

This doesn't begin to capture all the cuteness that happened at Disneyland. Avery for the most part was indifferent to the rides. She enjoyed Small World and sat through Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln twice. She clung to us during Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion, and absolutely hated Dumbo and the rockets in Tomorrow Land. My favorite Disneyland moment with Avery is holding her down on the floor of the rocket because she was terrified and desperately wanted to be held and we spun round and round and round. So fun for both of us!

At any rate the first picture is of Avery planning our day out of course. Second: Daryl and Avery on the carousel in California Adventures. Third: Avery and I on some ride in California Adventures. I look very tired, but I like to think Avery is looking adoringly up at me. Fourth: Phil holding Avery and Aidan at our character breakfast. Both Avery and Aidan cried and clung to their respective parents when they saw the characters. Avery didn't even like Mrs. Incredible. Last but certainly not least, darling Maddux. We got to ride on quite a few things together. We had a really great time. It was definitely a different Disneyland experience for Daryl and I with a small child, but we were surprised that Avery actually could go on the majority of the rides there. We were there four days, but it was not enough time to be with all our family and the Mouse.
