We just got back from DISNEYLAND! We had a completely magical and amazing time at the happiest place on earth. Thanks to Mark and Bek (lovingly known as my Disneyland maid) for letting us crash their house, lives and refrigerator - and for just spoiling us in general. We could seriously hang out with you guys forever. We love you! The kids played so cute and were all pretty happy (generally speaking) for being so completely out of their routines. We can't wait to do it again!
Emery was, as expected, completely obsessed with the Princesses. She met 5 and Rapunzel waved and smiled right at her as she passed her after she heard Emery say, "Gasp! It's Rapunzel!". I was really impressed with how in character the Princesses were. They were so cute with Emery and really made her feel special and excited. And don't worry, I only cried like 6 times. There's just something so emotional about watching your babies' dreams come true. Disneyland is so magical. I love it.
I wish I could tell you that this is an exaggeration of my excitement pulling into Disneyland, but it's not. I was seriously going to pee my pants!
one of my favorite moments of the trip - Emery found a Jessie hat and then a Woody hat and brought it to Van. cute!
Van LOVED the teacups
Van was not amused with the only character he met
Pocahontas was my favorite that Emery met. She was DARLING!!!!
the kids rode horses in Griffith Park. definitely a highlight of the trip. Van was even big enough to ride and he LOVED it!
Mark works for Disney and gave us the grand tour of the Disney lot where he works in Burbank. It was so cool! We saw costumes from recent movies (think Alice in Wonderland's Mad Hatter and Alice - so cool) and lots of original sketches and story boards... along with lots of other things. Here's the Tangled story board.
This is the building where the Disney executives (like Bob Iger) have their offices. It's really cool - see how the building is being held up by the Seven Dwarfs? It's because the whole company was built with the money that Walt Disney made from Snow White. Kind of fun.
Van wasn't sure about the sand for over an hour. Once he watched Lukey the sand monster eat if for that long though he decided it must be okay.
nap on the beach - on mom. He really looks too big to sleep on me in this picture. and he is. he's HUGE these days!

Disney is my favorite place on this planet!!! And must confess I too cry... I don't even have children old enough to care. It pulls on some heart string and I don't quite get it. I am very jealous!!
SO fun!!!!! I love all the pics of emery.
Looks like you had SO MUCH FUN!! I look forward to taking my boys there someday. (btw- you are so gorgeous!)
That looks like so much fun!! I'm glad that you were able to go there and that Emery was able to meet the princesses. :)
Britt, you crack me up. Can't wait to go ourselves in a few weeks (even if the baby won't care at all. . . ).
U weren't kidding those pony rides were a highlight of the trip. Emery was trotting! I've never gotten to do that horse back riding. And I'm dying over Emery's princess dance. She's gonna love that video when she grows up.
My favorite parts;
Emery's face in all the princess pictures
Vann on the horse
Lukey the sand monster
Missing you
DISNEYLAND?? Awesome! My sister just got hired to work in their culinary program there so that better mean she gives us some hookups! Garrett has never been so we will have to make it at least once in our lives. It really is a fun place to be. :)
Oh I have been dying to take our girls to Disneyland! We're planning a trip for sometime next spring - looking at your pictures made me want to go ASAP!!!
You look fantastic and your little kiddos are just too cute!
PS. There's a new billboard on I-15 Southbound in AF that reads "Buy a Foosball Table, Hire Smart People, Process $2 billion in Rent" for none other than our old Alma Mater Property Solutions! Don't you think they were referring to us in the "Hire Smart People" section? =) Oh the memories of foosball and sneaking treats from Dear Elder!
so cute that emery got to meet like every princess! so jealous! ha!
