M-I-C-K-E-Y...

We did it kids... we met the Mickey Mouse! Thursday night we left to go to Disneyland. Needless to say, it was a good time. (Ali has the pictures of us actually meeting him...sorry!)

We spent 2 days at Disneyland, doing everything we could possibly squeeze in. We ran into Buzz first, and Tanner was a little nervous, so I had to hold him and stand between them, but Morgan had no fear of any of the characters. She was able to meet pretty much every princess in the park. It surprised us how excited she was about meeting Tiana. The girl even looked exactly like her, it was impressive!
We rode the Mickey Mouse Ferris Wheel (Spelling? That way just makes me think of Ferris Bueller, so I will leave it) We rode the carts that swing around... it was fun... a little nauseating, but fun... If you asked Tanner who he wanted to see, he would tell you Donald Duck and Gluto (that is what he calls him). We lucked out when the parade came past us and Donald and Woody were on the float right in front of us. Then Pluto came by and he was happy. He didn't want to meet them, he only wanted to see them. Easy enough right?
Tanner and Morgan hanging out in a tea cup... Morgan cracks me up with her poses.
They were trying to navigate in the Mr. Toady mobile...
Tanner was really excited to meet Lightening McQueen, Mater was just to the left.
Cory and Tanner watching the awesome World of Color water show...
Here is a little clip for you to enjoy... it was really cool, they show scenes from the movies on the mist... they did a collage of a lot of movies and the last one was Pirates of the Carribean and they had flames shooting out of the water... it was enjoyable... I would watch it again...

We also spent some time at the beach. Tanner loved the water, I wish we had more time to spend there, darn it, I guess we will have to go back! Maybe we will take Kater this time. Yes, we left her home, but you would understand if you tried to contain her for 20 minutes, forget 4 days! Another reason to return right?

Tanner is in this picture, can you find him? (hint... he is mostly a shadow)
We had such a great time, so thanks to Shaneece for being a teenage mom for a few days, and thanks Mom and Dad for the family trip! We loved it and are completely happy that we wore ourselves out at Disneyland!

Man, this totally makes me want to plan another trip to DisneyLand! Looks like a ton of fun and I bet Tanner loved it since he's at the age where he can really enjoy it. So... this might be a stupid question but do you have 2 kids now??
