The Happiest Place on Earth

We went to Disneyland...again! :) We do love that place! This time we went with Marc's parents and met up with his sisters family later in the trip. It was a blast!

We got up really early and Marc drove all the way down there...here is Montana as she wakes up in the morning realizing we are at Disneyland!)


We stayed at the Paradise Pier. Montana was excited to see Goofy in the lobby!


Heading into the park on the first day

Marc's parents on the first ride of the day- Pirates!

We then headed over to Pooh's Corner





And then it was onto Montana's much anticipated ride- DUMBO! But not just Dumbo-she specifically wanted to ride purple Dumbo with Pompy! And she got her wish!





The carousel is her all time favorite



Marc getting ready to spin us like crazy on the tea cups...



The Mad Hatter


The winning hat choice! Thanks Mams and Pompy!

A sleepy princess...


Waiting for a lunch date with the Blue Bayou!



The next day we headed over to California Adventure-where we met Lightning McQueen and Mater!


And rode the awesome Toy Story ride Midway Mania


And of course we went to bugs land for "It's Tough to Be a Bug" and Heimlich


Then we met up with the Carters for a 3D show...

And then Tana needed a nap-so we went back to the hotel room...

After some rest, Montana felt she was ready for her first big ride! She was tall enough for Matterhorn! Here we go!

She liked putting her arms up and screaming!

Her eyes seem a bit shocked- but she had fun!

Happy to be a big girl! :)


Waiting in line with cousins, Maddie,Michael and Justin


The next day we wore our Mickey Mouse shirts!

And headed over to let Montana drive...



...at Autopia

The carousel again...of course!



A princess and her tiara...

She LOVED Playhouse Disney Live on Stage! See how focused she is!


Tall enough for bumper cars in Bugs land!

The princess in her transportation...


I just LOVE this picture of Mitchell and Montana-they could be siblings!


And I LOVE this pic of the munchkins! Tooo cute!



Megan looks like she's doing the "hang loose" sign! :) Meg and J...

How Montana feels about Disneyland

On our final day we went to Toon Town for the morning before heading home.




Riding Roger Rabbit!

She rode Gadget Go-Coaster-with her arms in the air and screaming. This girls a rider!

And of course- one last carousel ride! :)
Lunch in Downtown Disney-a new Mickey baby...a very content smile...and we are off.
Thanks Disneyland, old friend, old buddy, old pal....you never disappoint. See you soon. We love you! Love, The Rogers

Looks like you guys had a wonderful time. Makes me want to start planning a trip there right now. Disney should pay you for your endorsement. :)

It's about time you posted the Disneyland pictures. I just love that place and it looks like you sure enjoyed it too. I wish I could go there once a month, but then it probably wouldn't be as special!! Glad Montana loved it too, she is too cute!
