Ava's First Trip to Disneyland

Todd's firm had an event last week where we got tickets for the family to go to Twilight Hours at Disneyland. It was Ava's first trip there and she was pretty overwhelmed.  She enjoyed the "Teacups" and "It's a Small World". We took her on "Pirates of the Caribbean" and afterwards she said, "No likey!"

The firm arranged a 6 course meal at a restaurant called "Naples" in Downtown Disney. Our family made it through 2 courses and had to leave.  We couldn't keep the kids (Dallin and Ava) happy through 6 courses- mostly full of food neither one of them could eat. Who could?!

As I saw the crazy summer crowds I thought to myself, "I really hate this, I am only doing this for the kids!" Chloe was terrified half of the time and kept telling everyone on all the rides she went on about the Disneyland trivia she had memorized.  Dallin was an angel, LOVES Disneyland and doesn't even freak out with the thousands of people making their way down Mainstreet after a parade. It was great to not have any meltdowns! Maya wasn't afraid of anything this time (except she did refuse to go on Star Tours but I'll let that one slide). 

It was nice to spend some time with Todd who has been really busy this summer preparing for a trial that starts in one week. Here are some photos of the day:
