Disneyland - Happy 8th Month

8 Months old today. What better way to celebrate than to head to Disneyland!


Thanks have to go out to Aunty J-J! aka Jamiellin. Without her and her super silver pass, we never would have made it here. With her great kindness and generosity, we were able to go in for a few hours, get some pics with the characters and buy some souvenirs, since we'll soon be considered tourists!

Since we went in to get pics of Summer with some Characters we were super happy upon first walking in and seeing Tigger and the gang! Just as we were getting to the front of the line it was time for them to go, but Tigger stuck around to get this great picture! I think it's better that they were disbanding, since this picture was taken in the sun and turned out better than it would have under the awning where they were standing.


So, we then headed to Space Mountain to get a Fast Pass...but, alas, it was shut down for the day. :-(

But speaking of mountains, here we got a nice photo in front of The Matterhorn.


So, as we were walking away, I played with Summer and took a few pics, and had Aunty J-J take a few. Here are two that I think turned out pretty swell. First is me taking a self photo, and I happened to catch the sun kind of in a neat way:


And Jamiellin caught me tickling Summer and just goofing around and caught this fun shot!


So, we continued to head on over to Toontown, but stopped again and again for pictures. This is just another one of the family that I really liked. Summer would make good food for this "Finding Nemo" shark. Good thing he is a Vegetarian, like Mommy!


When we finally got to Toontown we went into Mickey's House (the yellow house in the pic).


Going into Mickey's house is a way to always get a photo-op with the head Mouse, himself! So, you head into the house, which basically acts as a long line to see Mickey. While in there, we took many pictures, including this one of the girls.


Finally, at the end of the tour, we get to see Mickey, on set. He's dressed up and ready to play a role as the sorcerer. He took time out of his busy schedule to see us and many others. The park also takes some pictures. We liked one of theirs and purchased it, but this is a picture we took ourselves. It was awesome how Summer walked right up to Mickey with no fear and played with his nose and hung out.


After visiting with Mickey, we were all hungry and headed to the food court, but, hey, there was GOOFY! So, we ran over there and got another character group photo.


Whew, finally, time to eat. Summer ate while Jamiellin and I waited in line to get the big person food. When we got to the table, Summer was grumpy and tired. I walked her and got her to drink a bit more formula, before she passed out. Quite the busy morning. After eating we headed out to do some shopping and go home for the day. Well, Summer woke up while shopping and on the way out a parade began. It was the "Parade of Dreams" and included "Finding Nemo", "Pinochio" and many others, including "The Lion King" as seen here.


What a great day! And we owe it all to Aunty J-J! Thank you! From me, Jessica and especially Summer! These pictures (and the 170 or so others we took) will be great fun to see when Summer gets older and can go to the park again! I think it is fitting to end this post as they ended the parade...with the #1 Mouse, himself!
